Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Analysis of changes in gene expression in Enterococcus faecalis OG1 delta-EF2638 mutant compared to wild-type OG1 strain. The deletion mutant has a growth defect when grown with aeration The mutant presented in this study is described and characterized in Vesic, D. and Kristich, C.J. 2012. A Rex-family transcriptional repressor influnces H2O2 accumulation by Enterococcus faecalis. (submitted for publication) Microarray analysis was done using RNA isolated from two independent cultures of wild-type Enterococcus faecalis OG1 and two independent cultres of Enterococcus faecalis OG1 delta-EF2638 mutant; each RNA sample was subjected to triplicate hybridization (technical replicates) . Microarrays were custom designed to investigate expression of ORFs in Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF genome. The arrays were designed based on the OG1RF annotation generated with the Rapid Annotation Using Subsystem Technology (RAST) server (Aziz et. al. 2008. BMC Genomics 9:75), as described in Frank et al (2012) Infect. Immun. 80:539. The aim was eighteen probe pairs per ORF, each of which is present in triplicate.
Project description:A dataset of ~600 RIL crosses using RILs from the Drosophila Synthetic Population Resource to be used for genomewide eQTL mapping. All samples are from female heads. 54 arrays with 12 samples per array resulting in data for 596 RIL crosses.
Project description:The microarrays experiments was performed with the purpose of identify transcriptional networks activated by copper. This experiment correspond the work tituled Enterococcus faecalis reconfigure the activation of its transcriptional regulatory networks under different copper exposure levels (work in preparation).Mauricio Latorrea,b, Jessica Galloway-PeM-CM-1ac,d,e, Jung Hyeo Rhoc,d, Marko Budinichf, Barbara E.

A eight chip study (two technical replicates) using total RNA recovered from four separate cultures of: Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF (N medium growth), Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF copM-NM-^T mutant strain (N medium growth), Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF copM-NM-^T mutant low copper treatment (N medium growth + 0.05 mM CuSO4) and Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF copM-NM-^T mutant low copper treatment (N medium growth + 0.5 mM CuSO4). Each chip measures the expression level of 3,114 genome genes from Enterococcus faecalis strain V583 (A7980-00-01).
Project description:Leucaena leucocephala seedlings were treated with PEG6000 and the shoot and root tissues were collected after 48 hours following the treatment. The gene expressions were compared between treated and untreated in root and shoot separately. The differentially expressed genes may be related to drought resistance. RNA from shoot and root from treated and untreated L. leucocephala seedlings were extracted. Two biological replicates were made for each sample (each replicate represents about 10 individual seedlings).
Project description:To further investigate the homeostatic response of E. faecalis to Fe exposure, we examine the whole-genome transcriptional response of wild-type (WT) exposed to non toxic Fe excess. This experiment correspond the work titled Transcriptomic response of Enterococcus faecalis to iron excess (work in preparation) A four chip study using total RNA recovered from four separate wild-type cultures of Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF, two controls samples (N medium growth) and two iron samples (N medium gowth with 0.5 mM Fe-NTA). Each chip measures the expression level of 3,114 genome genes from Enterococcus faecalis strain V583 (A7980-00-01).
Project description:The genes induced by mechanical stimuli may be also involved in disease resistance and wood formation and development in Acacia koa. If so, mechanically stressed A. koa may be used as a model to study disease resistance and wood formation and development. Microarray analysis was performed to determine expression levels of 4,000 genes related to disease resistance and wood development in Acacia koa in response to mechanical stimuli (touch). RNA was extracted from two groups of A. koa seedlings, (1) mechanically stressed and (2) unstressed koa seedlings. Each group had two biological replicates (n=2), where n represents pools of approcimately 20 individuals.
Project description:Changes in Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF gene expression during infection in a rabbit model of subdermal abscess formation were studied using microarray analysis.
Project description:Liquid cultures of Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF and OG1RF Δbph were grown in tryptic soy broth without added dextrose (TSB-D) for 2 and 4 hr. At each time point, the transcriptomes were compared to identify differentially expressed genes in the Δbph mutant.
Project description:Changes in Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF(pCF10) gene expression at 4 hours post-infection in a rabbit model of subdermal abscess formation were studied using RNA-seq analysis.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Clostridium difficile fur (ferric uptake regulator) mutant, compared to the wild type strain 630 erm. The fur mutant analyzed in this study is further described in Ho and Ellermeier (2015) J. Bacteriology A microarray study using total RNA recovered from three separate wild type cultures of Clostridium difficile 630 erm strain and three separate cultures of a fur mutant strain (ltrA::ermR) were grown in Tryptone-Yeast Extract medium containing 0.25 mM ferric chloride . Each chip measures the expression level of 3,786 of the 3,787 open reading frames of the C. difficile 630 genome with 18 probes (60 oligomers each) for each gene.
