Project description:Effect of lentiviral mediated overexpression of miR-203 in mouse cortical neurons at different days in vivo Total RNA isolated from E15 cortical cultures using QIAGEN miRNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN; 217004) were processed on an Illumina mouse Ref8 v2 beadchip microarrays following the manufacture’s protocol. Microarray data analysis was performed using R and Bioconductor packages. Raw expression data were log2 transformed and normalized by quantile normalization. Probes were considered robustly expressed if the detection P value was 0.05 for at least half of the samples in the data set. Probes were re-mapped to mouse Ensembl gene IDs (v67; May 2012 data freeze) for comparison with RNA-sequencing data.
Project description:To understand the effect of reducing miR-27b levels on genome-wide expression in cortical neurons and identify potential targets of miR-27b, we generated dissociated cortical neuron cultures and treated them with lentivirus to knock down miR-27b. 2 treatment conditions (control lentivirus or lentivirus to knock down miR-27b); 3 neuronal preparations of dissociated mouse cortical neurons; total of 6 samples
