This study evaluates how PCR duplication affects RNA-seq data quality across four sequencers, finding that input amount and PCR cycles significantly impact duplication rates, with UMIs effectively reducing duplicates without losing biological information.

The paper identifies genome-wide gene expression changes in the auditory cortex of rats during learning, highlighting pathways involved in long-term auditory memory formation.

The paper examines transcriptome profiles in mouse brain regions with a DYT1 dystonia mutation, finding subtle genotype-dependent changes across regions but not within individual regions.
