Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived incisor transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq)  between Runx2fl/fl  and Gli1-CreERT2;Runx2fl/fl mice to identify the potential target of Runx2.;	Methods: Incisor mRNA profiles from one week after induction of one-month-old  Runx2fl/fl and Gli1-CreERT2;Runx2fl/fl mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina NextSeq500.;	Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 68 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome ( mm10) and identified  80,214 transcripts in th incisors of Runx2fl/fl  and Gli1-CreERT2;Runx2fl/fl  mice with Partek E/M workflow. Five hundred and eleven differentially regulated genes were identified (2-fold, p0.05), of which 299 were upregulated and 212 were downregulated.
