MicroRNA Profiling of Rhesus Macaque Embryonic Stem Cells

We established three new rhesus embryonic stem cells lines and conducted their microRNA profilings by Solexa sequencing. Sequencing of small RNA libraries yielded 12.66 million, 13.12 million and 11.57 million raw reads from IVF1.2, IVF3.2 and IVF3.3, respectively. After filtering, we obtained 10.89 million (IVF1.2), 10.60 million (IVF3.2) and 9.26 million (IVF3.3) clean reads (18-30nt).
