Gene expression of blood and cerebellum of Mecp2-null and WT male mice

In order to find a relationship between gene expression of blood and brain in Rett Syndrome (RTT), we performed RNA sequencing on from cerebella and blood of 7 week-old male Mecp2-null mice (a model of RTT) and WT controls. Overall design: Transcriptional profiles were generated from cerebellum and blood of 3 Mecp2-null and 3 WT 7 week-old male mice, by RNAseq performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 System, generating approximately 60 million 2x75bp paired-end reads/sample. Blood and cerebellum samples originate from the same animal
