Total RNA Sequencing Reveals Early Coding, Noncoding, and Isoform-Level Transcriptomic Changes Following Traumatic and Glaucomatous Optic Nerve Injury

Purpose: Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death following optic nerve injury is driven by transcriptional programs involved in apoptosis, neuroinflammation, and other regulated cell death pathways; however, the early transcriptomic changes initiating these processes remain poorly defined. We used rRNA-depleted total RNA sequencing to characterize early alterations in protein-coding genes, long…
