Transcriptome profiles of paternal testis and their offspring in response to gut microbiota dysbiosis using RNA sequencing analysis. Transcriptome profiles of paternal testis and their offspring in response to gut microbiota dysbiosis using RNA sequencing analysis

Tissue samples harvested from conventionally-raised sire and their offspring or dysbiotic sire and their offspring were profiled for transcriptome changes using total RNA sequencing. Total RNA was extracted from four different tissue types: sire testis, F1 placenta (at E13.5 & E18.5), and F1 brain and brown adipose tissue (at postnatal day P17).Testis were harvested from 11-weeks inbred male mice that were experiencing gut microbiota dysbiosis for 6-week (antibiotics treated, n=5), or drink sterilized water (control, n=5). While, F1 offspring samples were collected from three independent matings per group and two offspring samples per litter.
