We have constructed a DNA microarray that represents approximately 6900 of the estimated 13,598 genes in the Drosophila melanogaster genome. The microarray contains 5756 target cDNAs from the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project, 1078 cDNAs from the National Institutes of Health Drosophila testis cDNA library, and 546 gene fragments that were amplified from genomic DNA. The methods for DNA amplification and microarray manufacture are presented. Academic researchers can obtain the microarray from t ...[more]

Project description:Genomic and behavioral investigations were performed to determine the effects of a mutation in a Drosophila soluble guanylyl cyclase gene. A mutant DGCalpha1[3] third chromosome was crossed into a natural rover (for[R]) or natural sitter (for[s]) genetic background. (See Osborne et al. 1997; PMID: 9242616.) First instar larvae were collected and grown on 60mm Petri plates containing 10 mL of food until mid-third instar. (Approximate density was 3 animals per mL food). Larvae were collected and washed quickly with distilled water and were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Co-reared larvae were tested for behavioural effects. Four independent collections were made for each of the two conditions (Rover_DGCalpha1[3] or sitter_DGCalpha1[3]).

Project description:In Drosophila larvae, acquired synaptic thermotolerance following heat shock has previously been shown to correlate with the induction of heat shock proteins (Hsps) including HSP70. We tested the hypothesis that synaptic thermotolerance would be significantly diminished in a temperature-sensitive strain (hsf4) which has been reported not to be able to produce inducible Hsps in response to heat shock. Contrary to our hypothesis, considerable thermoprotection was still observed at hsf4 larval synapses following heat shock. To investigate the cause of this thermoprotection, we conducted DNA microarray experiments to identify heat-induced transcript changes in these organisms. Transcripts of the hsp83, dnaJ-1(hsp40) and gstE1 genes were significantly up-regulated in hsf4 larvae after heat shock. In addition, increases in the levels of Hsp83 and DnaJ-1 proteins but not in the inducible form of Hsp70 were detected by Western blotting. The mode of heat shock administration differentially affected the relative transcript and translational changes for these chaperones. These results indicate that the compensatory up-regulation of constitutively expressed Hsps, in the absence of the synthesis of inducible Hsps including HSP70, could still provide substantial thermoprotection to both synapses and the whole organism. Two strains were used in this study; the mutant cn bw hsf4 strain, and the dp cn bw cl control strain from which the mutant was derived. For each strain, co-reared larvae were separated into a control group and a treatment group at random. RNA from the heat-shocked larvae and from the respective controls were directly compared on cDNA microarrays (GPL311). Two independent biological samples from each genotype were collected. In addition, an inter-strain comparison was made using the RNA from the untreated controls from each genotype. This was also performed in duplicate.

Project description:Cold hardening treatment, a brief exposure to low temperatures (e.g. 0°C for 2 h), can protect certain insects against subsequent exposure to temperatures sufficiently low to cause damage or lethality. Microarray analysis to examine the changes in transcript abundance associated with cold hardening has been undertaken in Drosophila melanogaster in order to gain insight into this phenomenon. Transcripts associated with 36 genes were identified, a subset of which appeared to be also differentially expressed after heat shock treatment. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to independently determine transcript abundance of a subset of these sequences. Taken together, these assays suggest that stress proteins, including Hsp23, Hsp26, Hsp83 and Frost as well as membrane-associated proteins may contribute to the cold hardening response. Co-reared flies were separated into a control group and a treatment group at random. RNA was isolated from the cold-shocked flies and the respective controls and was used for direct comparisons on cDNA microarrays. Treatments were not varied as they had been optimized in previous studies. A pilot experiment was performed using the Drosophila 7k2 array (GPL311) and subsequently three pairs of independent biological samples were evaluated with the Drosophila 12k1 array (GPL1467).

Project description:Comparison of transcript abundance between control (untreated) and methotrexate treated S3 Drosophila cells and ovaries disected from female flies. S3 cells were exposed to 0 or 5.2 X 10^-8 M MTX for 4 days then harvested. Flies were exposed to 0 or 5 ppm MTX for 5 days then ovaries were dissected. RNA was extracted from S3 cells and ovaries. 4 S3 microarrays with one dye-swap and 2 ovary microarrays swapping dyes were hybridized to spotted cDNA microarrays.

Project description:This experiment was used to determine the effect of a botanical insecticide upon gene expression profiles in Drosophila melanogaster. Adult female Drosophila (oregon-R strain) were treated with an ethylacetate extract of Piper nigrum (Piperaceae) seeds formulated in 99% ethanol. Treatment was topical, using a Potter's tower to administer a total of 2 mL of a 0.9mg/mL concentration. Control treatment was identical except flies were treated with 99% ethanol as a solvent control. Gene expression was studied four hours post-treatment. The design is a direct comparison between total RNA of treated and untreated insects. Sample size is two and two reverse label hybridizations were done. Each sample is a pool of 240 insects which received the same treatment simultaneously.

Project description:This experiment was intended to determine if topical exposure to ethanol led to significant changes in gene expression in adult Drosophila melanogaster. It was determined that topical exposure to ethanol did not lead to a strong differential expression of genes in Drosophila after 4 hours. The effect of topical treatment with 99% ethanol was compared to the effect of a water treatment which was used as a control and the differential expression between these two treatments was assessed four hours after treatment. Two biological replicates of each treatment were compared for a total of two microarray hybridizations

Project description:A 6K oligonucleotide microarray (TSKMLO) was designed as a community resource for researchers interested in domestic turkey muscle biology as it pertains to growth and development and their association with downstream meat quality. A series of quality control experiments performed to assess the functionality of the newly constructed array, which included a set of validation hybridizations performed in order to initially assess the functionality and repeatability of the newly designed TSKMLO array. Strong correlations between these test comparisons confirmed that the array was able to hybridize fluorescently-labeled aRNA samples from turkey skeletal muscle at different developmental stages, that there was little dye bias, and that results were repeatable. Three experiments were designed. 1) A âSelf-Selfâ array was hybridized using the same RNA sample (a randomly chosen RBC2, 18de) divided into two aliquots: one labeled with Cy3 and the other with Cy5 to ensure equal hybridization of each fluorescent dye-labeled sample. 2) Two âDye Swapâ arrays were hybridized using randomly chosen F, 18de and F, 1d samples. The fluorescent dye assignments were reversed in the two arrays. The objectives of this experiment were to observe expected differential expression between embryonic (hyperplasia) and neonatal (hypertrophy) muscle samples as well as to ensure similar hybridization regardless of dye assignment. 3) A âRepeatâ array was hybridized on a different day using the same samples and dye assignments as the âDye Swap 2â array to ensure reproducibility of hybridization results.

Project description:The purpose of Experiment 1 was two-fold: a) to evaluate a unique set of negative, distance, and mismatch control probes on the newly designed 6K TSKMLO microarray, and b) to identify patterns of gene expression in skeletal muscle during development. Negative and mismatch controls confirmed specific hybridization using this array, and genes identified as differentially expressed between developmental stages by microarray analysis were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Novel candidate genes and pathways were identified as playing potentially crucial roles in turkey skeletal muscle development with implications for improving turkey meat quality defects and growth-induced myopathies long-term. This experiment utilized turkeys from two genetic lines: RBC2, a randomly bred control line representative of a 1,967 commercial turkey, and F, a subline genetically selected from the RBC2 line for increased 16-week body weight. Skeletal muscle was collected at three critical developmental stages: 18-day embryo (18de; peak of hyperplasia), 1-day post-hatch (1d; shift from myoblast-mediated growth to satellite cell modulated growth by hypertrophy), and 16-week-old birds (16wk; completion of muscle formation and approximate age of commercial slaughter). Experiment 1 was designed to directly compare the three stages of skeletal muscle development: 18de vs. 1d, or 1d vs. 16wk, for each of the genetic lines. Experiment 1 contained 10 arrays per comparison, therefore, it contained 40 arrays total. Birds were randomly assigned to an array, and hybridizations were performed in random order.

Project description:The purpose of Experiment 2 was two-fold: a) to evaluate a unique set of negative, distance, and mismatch control probes on the newly designed 6K TSKMLO microarray, and b) to identify differences in gene expression between two genetic lines of turkeys that phenotypically display differences in growth. Negative and mismatch controls confirmed specific hybridization using this array, and genes identified as differentially expressed between developmental stages by microarray analysis were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Novel candidate genes and pathways were identified as playing potentially crucial roles in skeletal muscle development between 2 distinct lines of turkeys with implications for improving turkey meat quality defects and growth-induced myopathies long-term. This experiment utilized turkeys from two genetic lines: RBC2, a randomly bred control line representative of a 1,967 commercial turkey, and F, a subline genetically selected from the RBC2 line for increased 16-week body weight. Skeletal muscle was collected at three critical developmental stages: 18-day embryo (18de; peak of hyperplasia), 1-day post-hatch (1d; shift from myoblast-mediated growth to satellite cell modulated growth by hypertrophy), and 16-week-old birds (16wk; completion of muscle formation and approximate age of commercial slaughter). Experiment 2 was designed to directly compare the two genetic lines, RBC2 vs. F, for each of the three stages of skeletal muscle development: 18de, 1d, and 16wk. Experiment 2 contained 10 arrays per comparison, therefore, it contained 30 arrays total. Birds were randomly assigned to an array, and hybridizations were performed in random order.
