ERP123760 PRJEB40153 E-MTAB-9509 RNA-seq of Wister Rat blood serum to investigate small non-coding RNAs in serum as biomarkers of tendon injury Injury was induced in the left Achilles tendon by needle puncture. Rats were sacrificed 4 and 21 days post injury. Shams, in which the tendon was isolated but not punctured, were included as controls. Serum was collected post-mortem and RNAseq used to identify differentially expressed ncRNAs. Injury was induced in the left Achilles tendon by needle puncture.
