Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare the cardiac transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of WT and CHD4-M195I hearts at E18.5 to conclude genes affected by this CHD4 mutation. Methods: mRNA profiles of E18.5 WT and CHD4-M195I mouse hearts were generated by deep sequencing, n=4 for each genotype, using Illumina HiSeq2500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. Results: RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analyses on E18.5 WT and CHD4-M195I hearts and identified 323 genes that were differentially expressed [adjusted P value <0.05, |log2(Fold Change)| > 0.5], 113 upregulated and 210 downregulated in CHD4-M195I hearts. Overall design: WT and CHD4-M195I hearts at E18.5, n=4 for each genotype. Less...
