Project description:The Long Evans/orl (LE/orl) rat is an animal model of inherited undescended testis (UDT). To explore genetic mechanisms of UDT, we studied differential gene expression in LE/orl and LE wild type (LE/wt) fetal gubernaculum and testis.

Project description:Here we report RNA-Seq data from RNA isolated from newborn lenses from FVB/N control mice as well as from newborn lenses of two different transgenic mouse lines (Le-Cre and P0-3.9GFPCre). Sequence reads of 51 bp were obtained from an illumine HiSeq 2000 system and mapped to the C57BL/6 reference genome (assembly GRCm38 (mm10)) using GSNAP software. Adapters and poor-quality regions were trimmed using Trimmomatic-0.36 software. Gene and isoform abundance was quantified using RSEM-1.3.0 software. Differential expression analysis was completed using DESeq2-1.10.1 software. For differential expression we used a cutoff value of equal to or greater than 1.5-fold change with an adjusted p value ≤ 0.05. The transcriptomes of both Le-Cre and P0-3.9GFPCre lenses closely matched the FVB/N control lenses. However, Le-Cre lenses exhibited deregulation of 15 murine genes, several of which are associated with apoptosis. In contrast, P0-3.9GFPCre lenses only deregulated two murine genes.
