Data in support of qPCR primer design and verification in a Pink1 −/− rat model of Parkinson disease

Abstract

Datasets provided in this article represent the Rattus norvegicus primer design and verification used in Pink1 −/− and wildtype Long Evans brain tissue. Accessible tables include relevant information, accession numbers, sequences, temperatures and product length, describing primer design specific to the transcript amplification use. Additionally, results of Sanger sequencing of qPCR reaction products (FASTA aligned sequences) are presented for genes of interest. Results and further interpretation and discussion can be found in the original research article “Atp13a2 expression in the periaqueductal gray is decreased in the Pink1 −/− rat model of Parkinson disease” [1].
