Transcriptome sequencing data sets for mice brain infected with Sindbis virus and treated with glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor

The goal of this study is to determine the brain pathology upon infection of mice with neuroinvasine Sindbis virus (SVNI) and the affect of treatmant wuth the glucosylceramide inhibitor GZ-161 . For this purpose, C57BL/6 mice wasinfected with SVNI and treted or not with GZ-161. 5 days post infection, brains were harvested and total RNA was extracted. RNA-seq libraries were constructed and sequencing of 100bp paired-end was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 system. Sequencing yielded about 30M reads per sample that were mapped to the mouse genome The experiment includes four groups: Control (Naive, untreated), GZ-161 (Naïve, treated with GZ-161), SVNI (infected with SVNI, untreated), and SVNI+GZ-161 (infected with SVNI, treated with GZ-161).
