Purpose: the goal of this study is to analyse various duck stem cell lines and to compare them with both primary somatic fibroblasts and blastodermal cells derived from pre-gastrulating embryos. Methods: NGS RNA-sequencing was performed on duck primary embryonic fibroblasts (DEF), on blastodermal cells from EGK-X to EG XV embryos (BCs) and reprogrammed cells (R71-2 and R71-5) derived from DEF by somatic reprogramming process. The libraries were prepared using the TruSeq R Stranded mRNA sample preparation kit (Illumina). The paired-end sequencing was performed either on NextSeq 500 or Hiseq 2500 illumina sequencers and controlled by the SeqencingAnalysis viewer software (Illumina). The quality control of the `Sample-ID.fastq'' files was performed with the FasQC software (Babraham Institute). Results: the total number of reads ranges was from 30 millions to 40 millions. Overall design: Duck stem cells and somatic cells mRNA profiles were generated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) using Illumina kits.
