What I Did: For this project, I analyzed RNA-seq data from the C-MOOR mouse dataset and analyzed the differential expression of Htr1a and Htr2a in the prefrontal cortex vs striatum. I also used DESeq2 to calculate the fold changes as well as the p-values, then graphed the values to visualize the differences between each region.
How You Can Help: One challenge that arose from this project would be why there was an unexpected moderate fold change of Htr2a compared to Htr1a, even though they are both serotonin gene receptors. Feedback on how I can make this poster even better would be much appreciated.
