Genome-wide analysis of a transcriptional network of the Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein, Sre1, in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans (RNA-seq)
Purpose: Understanding the regulatory role of Sre1 in Cryptococcus neoformans. Methods: The transcriptome profiles of the wild-type and sre1 mutant were generated by RNA-seq using Illumina Hiseq. The transcriptome profile of the sre1 mutant was compared with that of the wild-type strain. Results: The Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein, Sre1 is a major regulator for the genes involved in ergosterol biosynthetic pathway and iron acquisition in C. neoformans. Overall design: Transcriptome of the sre1 mutant vs. Transcriptome of the wild-type
