Heart RNA-seq of control mice and mice with titin PEVK domain knockout, Rbm20 RNA recognition motif knockout, or double knockout

We report the heart RNA-sequencing of control animals (129S6 genetic background, wild type). Animal models comprise of Titin PEVK homozygous deletion of exons 219-225 (PEVK-KO), RBM20 heterozygous deletion of exons 6-7 (RBM20-HET), and double deletion (PEVK-KOxRBM20-HET). RNA from left ventricular tissue was isolated using TRIzol followed by a clean-up with the QIAGEN RNA micro kit, cDNA libraries were generated using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Prep Kit 2x101 paired-end sequenced on HiSeq2000 (WT, RBM20-HET) or HiSeq4000 (PEVK-KOxRBM20-HET). Trimming and quality clipping was performed with Flexbar v. 3.03. The remaining reads greater than 18bp were mapped to the murine genome (assembly EnsEMBL 84) with the splice-aware STAR aligner v. 2.5.1b. Transcriptome analyses on differential gene and isoform abundance were carried out with cuffdiff 20 v. 2.2.1.
