Hypoxic transcriptomic signature of A549 cells (RNA-Seq). Hypoxic transcriptomic signature of A549 cells (RNA-Seq)

To assess the transcriptomic response of the LUAD cell line A549 to hypoxia, cells were exposed to 1% (Hx) or 21% O2 (Nx) during 24 hours. Two µg of total RNAs were depleted from ribosomal RNA with the Ribozero kit (epicenter), libraries were generated with the NEBNext Small RNA Library Prep Set for SOLiD and sequenced on SOLiD 5500XL (Life Technologies) with single-end 50bp reads. Reads were aligned to the human genome release hg19 with the LifeScope software v2.5.1 (Life Technologies) using whole transcriptome pipeline for RNA‐seq libraries with default parameters. Overall design: 2 samples in monoplicates: Nx versus Hx
