Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of wild type, Twist1+/- and Twist1+/- with suture regeneration surgery mice

Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived suture transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) among wild type, Twist1+/- and Twist1+/- with suture regeneration surgery mice Methods: Suture mRNA profiles from one week after induction of seven-month-old wild type, Twist1+/- and Twist1+/- with suture regeneration surgery mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina NextSeq500. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 70 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome ( mm10) and identified 43,644 transcripts in the suture of wild type, Twist1+/- and Twist1+/- with suture regeneration surgery mice with Partek E/M workflow. Suture mRNA profiles from one week after induction of seven-month-old wild type, Twist1+/- and Twist1+/- with suture regeneration surgery mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina NextSeq500.
