RESULTS
Using RNA-seq, we provided a global transcriptomic profile of tape-strips and biopsies taken from the lesional skin of moderate-to-severe AD patients, and from healthy control skin (n=20 each) (Figure 1A ). Sample recovery rates were 19/20 (95%) in AD and 19/20 (95%) in controls for tape-strips and 100% of AD and controls for biopsies.
