Transcriptome analysis of retinal tumor onset and progression in a zebrafish optic pathway tumor line
Heterozygous adults of the zebrafish transgenic line Tg(flk1:RFP)is18 develop tumors in the retina, optic nerve and optic tract. Transcriptome profiling of dissected retina or retinal tumor tissue from age matched 6 month old sibling wild type and Tg(flk1:RFP)is18/+ fish was generated by 100 bp paired end sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq system. 3 wild type retina were pooled to create Sample WT (wild type); 3 grossly normal retina from Tg(flk1:RFP)is18/+ were pooled to create Sample PT (pre tumor) and 2 large tumors from Tg(flk1:RFP)is18/+ were pooled to create Sample T (tumor). Each sample was run in an individual lane on the HiSeq system.
