Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to define the transcriptome of native mouse podocytes and non-podocytes glomerular cells as part of a project aiming to define the molecular fingerprint of mouse podocytes. Method: Glomeruli from 29 Gt(ROSA)26Sortm4(ACTB-tdTomato,-EGFP)Luo/J x hNPHS2Cre mice at the age of 10 weeks were purified and a single cell solution was prepared to seperate GFP-expressing (podocytes) and GFP-negative (non-podocytes glomerular cells) cells by FACS sorting. RNA was extracted and prepared for further analysis using directional, polyA+ library preparation. An Illumina HiSeq2500 was used for a paired-end sequencing of 100 cycles . Salmon and Sleuth were used for downstream analysis. Results: A total of 100 Million reads each from podocytes and non-podocytes glomerular cells could be used for further analysis. Less...
