Transcriptional profiling by 4SU-seq in mouse ESCs and ESC-derived neural progenitor cells.
Nascent RNA was metabolically labelled with 4SU in undifferentiated and ESC-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs). 4SU incorporated RNA was isolated and deep-sequenced at day 0 (ESCs), 3, 5 and 7 of differentiation. NPC differentiation was monitored through expression of a GFP reporter insereted into the Sox1 locus (46C reporter ESC line; PMID: 12524553). The aim was to monitor changes in transcription as ESCs differentiate into NPCs and relate this to enhancer activity. Overall design: For each of the 4 differentiation time points, two independent biological replicates were prepared and sequenced. For each assayed time point, both merged and individual replicate 4SU-seq profiles were generated.
