Project description:Aneuploidy, a state of having uneven numbers of chromosomes, is a form of large-effect mutation able to confer adaptive phenotypes under diverse stress conditions. Here we investigate whether pleiotropic stresses could in turn induce aneuploidy in budding yeast. Cells exposed to radicicol, an Hsp90 inhibitor, exhibit chromosomal instability. To assess the karyotype of cells with an acquired resistance to radicicol, array CGH was used to compare three stably resistant yeast colonies to a WT strain. Single replicates of DNA prepared from radicicol-resistant yeast colonies are compared to a control WT colony.

Project description:Aneuploidy, a state of having uneven numbers of chromosomes, is a form of large-effect mutation able to confer adaptive phenotypes under diverse stress conditions. Here we investigate whether pleiotropic stresses could in turn induce aneuploidy in budding yeast. Radicicol was shown to induce high level missegregation of an artificial chromosome (CF). This experiment examines possible aneuploidy of other (“natural”) chromosomes induced by radicicol. Red colonies (lost CF) were first screened by FACS. Possible aneuploids were then subjected to hybridization, with WT as the control.

Project description:Transcript abundance in Escherichia coli O157:H7 was determined in the presence or absence of pulsed expression of the small RNA, AsxR. AsxR was cloned under the control the arabinose inducible promoter Para. Escherichia coli O157:H7 str. TUV93-0 with pAsxR or empty vector was cultured in MEM-HEPES media to an OD600 of 0.8 and 0.2% arabinose added. 10min after addition of arabinose 10ml of cells were harvested and and pellets resuspended in 1ml of Trizol and total RNA isolated. RNAs were labelled using the SuperScript Plus indirect cDNA labelling System. Triplicate control RNAs were pooled and hybridised to seperate AsxR test RNAs on three microarays. Arrays were hybridised using the Maui hybridisation platform and Scann using and Axon Autoloader Scanner. GenePix software was used to analyse images and GPR files were analysed using Genespring 7.3.1.

Project description:Chickens divergently selected for either high abdominal fat content (fat genotype) or low abdominal fat content (lean genotype) at SRA-INRA, France were used to profile hepatic gene expression during juvenile development (1 to 11 weeks of age) and to identify differentially expressed genes associated with genotype and age. The fat line (FL) and lean line (LL) chickens are different in various phenotypic and metabolic measurements, including abdominal fatness, plasma glycemia and T3. The FL and LL chickens represent unique models for characterizing biomedical and agricultural traits. The Del-Mar 14K Chicken Integrated Systems microarrays were used for a transcriptional scan in liver during juvenile development using a balanced block hybridization design. Log2-transformed fluorescence intensities were analyzed with a two-stage mixed model. A total of 905 differentially expressed "functional" genes were identified (FDR<0.10). The greatest number of differentially expressed genes (400) was detected at 7 weeks of age. The differentially expressed genes include metabolic enzymes, acute phase proteins, growth factors, immune factors and transcription factors involved in various pathways. Several of the functional genes are also identified as positional candidate genes within QTLs in an F2 population established from an intercross between the FL and LL lines. A balance block design was used for microarray hybridizations, where half of the birds of each genotype and age were labeled with Alexa Flour 647 (red) and the other half with Alexa Flour 555 (green). Four biological replicates were used for each genotype (FL or LL) at six different ages (1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 wk).

Project description:Even though feather pecking (FP) in laying hens has been extensively studied, a good solution to prevent chickens from this behavior under commercial circumstances has not been found. Selection against FP behavior is possible, but for a more effective selection across different populations, it is necessary to characterize the genetic mechanism associated with this behavior. In this study, we use a high FP selection line, which has been selected for 8 generations. We present evidence of the presence of a major dominant allele affecting the FP behavior by using an argument based on the presence of mixture in the distribution of the observed FP and by studying the evolution of the proportion of very high FP along the sequence of 8 generations. This hypothesis is further supported by the fact that the gene transcription profile of the birds performing high FP differs from the profile of the other birds performing FP (456 genes differentially expressed from a total of 14,077 investigated genes). Keywords: severe feather pecking , selection , modeling , inheritance pattern From each selection line (high feather pecking line, low feather pecking line and control line) 60 animals were randomly selected. Within each line the birds were randomly assigned to a cage of 20. The cages were kept in a randomized block design. Number of samples analyzed in total: 179 (60 high feather pecking line, 60 low feather pecking line, 59 control line samples. Common reference design using total-RNA purified from brain from a single F1 cross between the high and low feather pecking line as reference.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) is the seventh most common solid malignancy in the United States, accounting for more than 47,000 new cancer cases. HNSCC shows significant diversity in its clinical behavior after treatment, which cannot be predicted using the current clinical or pathological markers. Despite tumor complexity, many studies have tried unsuccessfully to test single genes to be used as prognostic markers in HNSCC. A group of tumor samples can be characterized in terms of the behavior of modules. These modules include clusters of coexpressed genes, such as genes that belong to the same pathway or functional category. Cancer is a multifaceted phenomenon that involves activation and/or disruption of various cellular processes. Thus, the identification of pathways or group of genes such as those involved in the development of lymph node metastasis and recurrent disease may help understanding the complex biology of cancer. Samples were obtained during surgery and neck dissection of 47 patients with primary untreated HNSCC at the Head and Neck Surgery Department from the Hospital AC Camargo (São Paulo, Brazil) between 1998 and 2003. Diagnosis of HNSCC was determined by biopsy. All patients signed a pre-informed consent and the study was approved by our institutional review board. After surgery, all patients were treated with adjuvant radiotherapy. Recurrence were diagnosed by imaging or biopsy. Tumor samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Before RNA extraction, diagnosis was confirmed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Frozen samples were hand dissected for removal of normal cells, necrosis, and infiltrating inflammatory cells. Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol. RNA quality was accessed by spectrophotometry and gel electrophoresis. To be considered as high-quality, the RNA had to have a 260/280 ratio higher than 1.7 and a 18S/28S rRNA ratio ~2. Amplifictaion of the mRNA was done using a T7-based protocol and cDNA was indirectly labeled with Alexa Dye 555 or 647. Samples and a common RNA reference were hybridized overnight at 42oC in dye-swap to a 4,800-element in-house printed microarray, enriched with cancer-related ESTs derived from the Human Cancer Genome Project. After washing, slides were scanned on a confocal laser scanner and data were extracted.

Project description:The experiment aimed at studying gene expression differences in longissimus dorsi muscle from pigs from two groups: High versus low intramuscular fat (IMF). The animals were selected from a crossbred population of Landrace x Yorkshire/Landrace x Duroc animals, where we have previously found a highly significant QTL for IMF (Grindflek et al. 2001: "Detection of quantitative trait loci for meat quality in a commercial slaughter pig cross", Mammalian Genome 12(4): 299-304), and by microarray analysis we hoped to identify candidate genes for the QTL and/or pathways that are affected by the genes responsible for the QTL. Keywords: phenotype comparison Direct dye-swap design, with 14 animals in each group (high IMF and low IMF) on 14 separate arrays
