New roles for Hoxc8 in the establishment and maintenance of motor neuron identity

Comparison of the transcriptome of embryonic day 12 motor neurons and postnatal day 8 motor neurons. Comparison of the transcriptome of motor neurons without Hoxc8 protein and control littermates. Comparison of the transcriptome of postnatal day 8 motor neurons from the brachial, thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord. RNA sequencing of motor neurons at different developmental stages, in different topographical regions of the spinal cord as well as RNA sequencing of embryonic motor neurons lacking Hoxc8 protein.
