Project description:We examined, compared, and analyzed the transcriptome profile (RNA-seq) of WT vs Reck vascular KO (Reck flex2/Δex1; Tie2Cre) P0 mouse brains. Specifically, cortical transcriptomic differences (between WT and mutant genotypes) were compared separately from subcortical transcriptomic changes.
Project description:Functional analysis demonstrates that neutrophils generated by emergency granulopoiesis have elevated bactericidal activity when compared to control (steady state) neutrophils. To determine if transcriptomic changes support these functional adaptations, we performed gene expression analysis on emergency granulopoiesis and steady state neutrophils before and after infection.
