RNA-seq analysis of hearts from control and cardiomyocyte-specific PRMT1-deficient mice

We found that cardiomyocyte-specific PRMT1-deficient (PRMT1-cKO) mice showed dilated cardiomyopathy and aberrant cardiac alternative splicing. To identify novel cardiac splicing events, we performed a comprehensive analysis of gene expression changes in hearts of wildtype (WT) and PRMT1-cKO mice using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). To investigate differentially expressed genes (false discovery rate (FDR) p<0.05, fold change >2) between control and PRMT1-cKO mice, we performed pairwise comparisons of RNA-Seq data using the CLC Genomics Workbench software.
