GSE113341: Genome-wide expression from the esophageal biopsies of subjects with and without eosinophilic esophagitis

Bulk RNA sequencing

Esophageal biopsy RNA was isolated from distal esophageal biopsy RNA from EoE patients with active disease and from unaffected controls. EoE biopsies showed active disease pathology at the time when they were taken, and all patients reported no glucocorticoid treatment at the time of biopsy. RNA sequencing acquiring 50 million mappable 125 base-pair reads from paired-end libraries was performed at the Genetic Variation and Gene Discovery Core Facility at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Data were aligned to the hg19 build of the human genome using the Ensembl annotations as a guide for TopHat.
