Adolescent rat social play: Amygdalar proteomic and transcriptomic data

This data article contains the proteomic and transcriptomic data of the amygdala of adolescent rats involved in social play compared to non-behavioural animals. Social play was performed on male Sprague Dawley rats on postnatal day 38 and protein and gene expression in the amygdala was determined following behavioural testing. The protein expression was measured by analysing trypsin digested protein samples using a LTQ Orbitrap Velos mass spectrometer equipped with an Advion nanomate ESI source. The obtained tandem mass spectra were extracted by Thermo Proteome Discoverer 1.3 and the data were displayed with Scaffold v 4.5.1. The transcriptomic data were generated by llumina HiSeq 4000 system. Cuffdiff (v2.2.1) program was used to calculate RNA-seq based gene expression levels. For further interpretation of data presented in this article, please see the research article 'Proteomic and Transcriptional Profiling of Rat Amygdala Following Social Play' (Alugubelly et al. 2019).
