Transcription profiling of Xenopus laevis early gastrulation embryos injected with alpha-amanitin against RNA polymerase II activity

Xenopus laevis embryos were injected with alpha-amanitin to inhibit RNA polymerase II activity. Embryos were allowed to develop up to stage 10.5 (early gastrula, control and alpha-amanitin injected embryos) and subsequently collected for RNA isolation. The transcriptome profiles of alpha-amanitin injected and control embryos were compared.
