RNA-Seq of WT Flp-In T-REx 293 and UPF3B knockout cell lines with additional siRNA-mediated control or UPF3A knockdowns

UPF3A and UPF3B are paralogous genes in human cells that are involved in the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway. NMD is a cellular quality control mechanism that monitors mRNAs during translation. Aberrant translation due to features such as the presence of a premature stop codon downstream on an exon-exon junction activates NMD and leads to the degradation of the mRNA. To investigate the role of UPF3B and UPF3A in NMD, we have generated UPF3B knockout human Flp-In T-REx 293 cells using CRISPR-Cas9. We generated RNA-Sequencing data for wildtype and UPF3B KO cells with additional siRNA-mediated knockdown of Luciferase (Luc) as control or UPF3A.
