title: Merip-seq of Mus musculus: YF hippocampus input
design: Paired-end reads were harvested from Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencer, and were quality controlled by Q30. After 3 adaptor-trimming and low quality reads removing by cutadapt software (v1.9.3), the high quality clean reads were aligned to the reference genome (UCSC MM10) with hisat2 software (v2.0.4). Then, guided by the Ensembl gtf gene annotation file, cuffdiff software (part of cufflinks) was used to get the gene level FPKM as the expression profiles of mRNA, and fold change and p-value were calculated based on FPKM, differentially expressed mRNA were identified. GO and Pathway enrichment analysis were performed based on the differentially expressed mRNAs.
