RNA-Seq of hippocampus in Diversity Outbred mice
To understand the genetic regulation of gene expression and patterns of gene co-expression, we sequenced the transcriptome of the hippocampus of 258 Diversity Outbred (DO) mice of both sexes. DO mice (fourth and fifth generations of outcrossing) were sacrificed between 6-8 weeks of age and hippocampus dissected. Total hippocampal RNA was isolated using a TRIzol Plus RNA purification kit (Life Technologies) and mRNA sequencing library was prepared using a TruSeq kit (Illumina), both according to manufacturer's protocols. Paired-end 100bp reads were obtained using the Illumina HiSeq 2000.
