Time series RNA-seq analyses of Drosophila S2R+ cells after insulin stimulation

Purpose: identifying genes responding to insulin stimulation in S2R+ cells through whole transcriptome RNA-seq analyses Methods: Total RNA was extracted from S2R+ cells using TRIzol® reagent (Invitrogen). After assessing RNA quality with an Agilent Bioanalyzer, libraries were constructed with Illumina TruSeq mRNA Library Prep Kit , libraries were sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq 4000 at the Columbia Genome Center (http://systemsbiology.columbia.edu/genome-center). Results: Using an time series data analysis workflow incorporating polynormials , we identified 1254 temproally differentially expressed genes responding to insulin stimulation in the S2R+ cells. Overall design: the pre-starved S2R+ cells ( with serum free medium) were stimulated with insulin; triplicate samples were collected at basline and every 20minutes time interval up to three hours; transcriptome profiling
