Time series transcriptional profiling of Ustilago maydis SG200 infecting Zea mays.

Goals: Comparing the infection between Ustilago maydis SG200 with the wild-type strain FB1xFB2 previously published Methods: Comparative RNASeq analysis between U. maydis SG200 and U. maydis FB1xFB2 at three timepoints (axenic, 2dpi, 12dpi) Results: The RNASeq analysis in SG200 identifies differences in gene expression with FB1xFB2. These differences could be the result of a unequal contribution of each nuclei to transcription. Further analysis identified a set of differentially transcribed genes. Overall design: Comparative RNASeq analysis between U. maydis SG200 and U. maydis FB1xFB2 at three timepoints (axenic, 2dpi, 12dpi)
