RNA-seq analysis of skeletal muscle from control (Cre) and Terf2 knockout (KO) mice in gastrocnemius-plantaris-soleus (GPS) and tibialis anterior (TA)

To investigate the molecular effects of telomere damage in skeletal muscle by Terf2 knockout, we performed bulk RNA sequencing on gastrocnemius-plantaris-soleus (GPS) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles isolated from Terf2 knockout (KO) and control (Cre) mice. Total RNA was extracted from dissected muscles and used for library preparation followed by paired-end sequencing. Samples include both male and female 8 month old mice. The dataset comprises biological replicates from KO and Cre genotypes for each muscle type. FASTQ files correspond to quality-filtered and trimmed reads used for alignment.
