Gene expression profile of N2 and HPX-2 mutant C.elegans strains when exposed to E.coli and E.faecalis

We use RNAseq analysis as an un-biased and highly sensitive measurement of global transcriptomic changes upon the loss of HPX-2. The RNAseq result provided insights into the potential physiological processes HPX-2 is involved in. Overall design: L4 stage worms were exposed to E. faecalis or E. coli for 16 hours and total RNA was extracted for 5 biological replicates. Illumina Hiseq 4000 sequencer with 75 nt pair-ended read format was used to conduct the sequencing.
