Whole-genome sequence of Macaca fascicularis: liver tissue

OBJECTIVES: Thrombocytopenia is a condition that causes a low amount of blood platelets. Platelets are blood cells that play an essential role in blood coagulation. Therefore, thrombocytopenia can put the patient at risk for mild to severe bleeding. Thrombocytopenia is caused by a decrease in platelet production in the bone marrow or by a drug or immune system problem when production is normal. In particular, in some ASO-induced thrombocytopenia, the mechanism is not clear. Therefore, whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed to discover genetic differences that affect thrombocytopenia and individual susceptibility to drugs between normal and reduced platelet monkeys despite administering the same ASO. DATA DESCRIPTION: Three antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) substances were injected into the subcutaneous tissue of monkeys for 12 weeks in two experiments. The monkeys were classified into three groups: monkeys with thrombocytopenia, monkeys without thrombocytopenia, and control monkeys not treated with ASO substances. Whole genome sequencing data was generated using liver tissues of monkeys. These data will be useful for identifying genetic differences that affect thrombocytopenia and drug sensitivity.
