Project description:Gene expression is highly dynamic during fetal development and determines tissue specification and function. In humans, the transcriptional profile of different organs during development has not been systematically studied. However, understanding how a particular tissue acquires its tissue identity will give insight into the development and maturation of tissues from a developmental biology perspective. Next-generation sequencing (DeepSAGE) dataset of 111 RNA samples representing 21 different human fetal organs and the maternal endometrium at three timepoints (gestational ages) during first and second trimester development (W9, W16-18, W22)
