Research Abstract |
To investigate the interaction of stem cells and the surrounding cells during brain development at the molecular level, we produced mouse ES cell/ chicken embryo chimeras by transplantation of the mouse ES cells into the future brain-forming region of chicken embryos. And then we collected mRNAs from the developing brains and tried to sequence these transcripts using next generation sequencers and to categorize them into mouse- and chicken-derived mRNAs by bioinformatic analysis. We spent a lot of time to collect enough amount of the mRNAs from the developing chimera brains. Thus, we are now trying to sequence them using Illumina Miseq.
