Abstract

This dataset comprises RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data from lung tissues of Peromyscus leucopus and K18-hACE2Mus musculus infected with SARS-CoV-2, and controls. The study aimed to analyze the transcriptional landscape and identify and compare differentially expressed genes in this critical organ upon viral infection between two rodent species. Tissue samples were collected from infected subjects on day 3 and day 6 post-infection in P. leucopus and days 2, 4 and 7 in M. musculus. Total RNA was extracted, and RNA-seq libraries were prepared and sequenced using high-throughput sequencing platforms. The resulting raw sequencing reads were processed and aligned to the reference set of P. leucopus and M. musculus coding DNA sequence (CDS). Gene expression levels were quantified and normalized by average gene reads and housekeeping gene Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gapdh) and expressed as natural logarithm of the value.
