Project description:The aim of the study was to screen for pathogenic gene dose alterations in patients and fetal cases with VACTERL association using a 180K oligonucleotide microarray. The experiment was performed by hybridization of genomic DNA from patients, labelled with Cy3 fluorophore, with a mix of DNA from healthy sex-matched controls labelled with Cy5 fluorophore (fetal case FC17 was analysed with sex-mismatch for the control DNA). 36 patients/fetal cases were analyzed using a Oxford Gene Technology (OGT) 180K oligonucleotide platform with whole genome coverage (27 patients were analyzed on version 025990 and 9 patients on version 031035). The raw microarray image files were initially analyzed using the Feature Extraction software from Agilent Technologies. Further data analysis was performed using the CytoSure Interpret software from OGT.

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells can be isolated from early embryos or induced by cell fusion, somatic nuclear transfer, or expression of a selected set of transcription factors. Embryonic stem (ES) cells are characterized by an open chromatin configuration and high transcription levels achieved via autoregulatory and feed-forward transcription factor loops. How the general transcription machinery is involved in pluripotency is unclear. Here, we show that TFIID knockdown affected the pluripotent circuitry in ES cells and inhibited reprogramming of fibroblasts. TFIID and pluripotency factors form a feed-forward loop to induce and maintain a stable transcription state. Strikingly, transient expression of TFIID subunits greatly enhanced reprogramming by Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc reaching efficiencies upto 50%. These results show that TFIID is a critical and selective component for transcription factor-mediated reprogramming. We anticipate that by creating plasticity in gene expression programs, basal transcription complexes such as TFIID assist reprogramming into different cellular states. Three iPS lines, iPS#1, iPS#4, and iPS#5 were used in duplicate for microarray analysis against a pool of RNA from ES-cells.

Project description:Here we present the assembled genome of the facultative methanotroph, Methylocystis strain SB2, along with assessment of its transcriptome when grown on methane vs. ethanol. As expected, transcriptomic analyses indicate methane is converted to carbon dioxide via the canonical methane oxidation pathway for energy generation, and that carbon is assimilated at the level of formaldehyde via the serine cycle. When grown on ethanol, it appears this strain converts ethanol to acetyl-CoA and then utilizes the TCA cycle for energy generation and the ethylmalonyl CoA pathway for the production of biomass. All cultures were grown in triplicates for subsequent DNA and RNA extraction as well as for subsequent sequencing using Illumina. Transcriptomic analysis results presented in this Series.

Project description:Lytic viruses have been implicated in the massive cellular lysis observed during algal blooms, through which they assume a prominent role in oceanic carbon and nutrient flows. Despite their impact on biogeochemical cycling, the transcriptional dynamics of these important oceanic events is still poorly understood. Here, we employ an oligonucleotide microarray to monitor host (Emiliania huxleyi) and virus (coccolithovirus) transcriptomic features during the course of E. huxleyi blooms induced in seawater-based mesocosm enclosures. Host bloom development and subsequent coccolithovirus infection was associated with a major shift in transcriptional profile. In addition to the expected metabolic requirements typically associated with viral infection (amino acid and nucleotide metabolism, as well as transcription- and replication-associated functions), the results strongly suggest that the manipulation of lipid metabolism plays a fundamental role during host-virus interaction. The results herein reveal the scale, so far massively underestimated, of the transcriptional domination that occurs during coccolithovirus infection in the natural environment. Six mesocosm enclosures were placed in the Raunefjorden (Western Norway coast) and filled with natural community water (in June 2008). Nutrient enrichment was applied in order to trigger the development of E. huxleyi blooms. The major transcriptomic features of those blooms and consequent viral infections were monitered through the use of an oligo microarray containing a total of 3571 gene probes; 2271 (63.6%) matching E. huxleyi ESTs, and 1300 (36.4%) matching EhV-86 and EhV-163 genomic sequences. Each microarray contains 5 technical replicates. Sampling of total RNA present in 2L of water (from each enclosure) was performed once a day from day 8 to day 16. For enclosures 2 and 3 other sampling points were taken, covering the complete dial-cycle (6h,12h,18h, and 24h).

Project description:The LIM homeodomain transcription factor Lmx1a is a very potential inducer of stem cells towards dopaminergic neurons. Despite several studies on the function of this gene, the exact in vivo role of Lmx1a in mesodiencephalic dopamine (mdDA) neuronal specification is still not understood. To analyze the genes functioning downstream of Lmx1a, we performed expression microarray analysis of LMX1A overexpressing MN9D dopaminergic cells. Several interesting regulated genes were identified, based on their regulation in other, previously generated expression arrays, and their expression pattern in the developing mdDA neuronal field. Post analysis through in vivo expression analysis in Lmx1a mouse mutant (drJ/drJ) embryos demonstrated a clear decrease in expression of the genes Grb10 and Rgs4, in and adjacent to the rostral and dorsal mdDA neuronal field and within the Lmx1a expression domain. Interestingly, the DA marker Vmat2 was significantly up-regulated as a consequence of increased LMX1A dose, and subsequent analysis on Lmx1a mutant E14.5 and adult tissue revealed a significant decrease in Vmat2 expression in mdDA neurons. Taken together, microarray analysis of an LMX1A overexpression cell system resulted in the identification of novel downstream targets of Lmx1A in mdDA neurons: Grb10, Rgs4 and Vmat2. RNA was isolated from MN9D cells. Each experimental sample consisted of a RNA pool derived from 3 separate 10-cm dishes containing Lmx1a overexpressing MN9D cells (transfected with pcDNA3.1(-)-Lmx1a). microarray analysis was performed in triplicate, each experimental sample was hybridized to the same reference pool of RNA derived from 9 10-cm dishes containing control MN9D cells (transfected with empty pcDNA3.1(-)). On each of three microarray samples, dye swap was performed to correct for dye effects.

Project description:The model organism Encyclopedia of DNA Elements project (modENCODE) has produced a comprehensive annotation of D. melanogaster transcript models based on an enormous amount of high-throughput experimental data. However, some transcribed elements may not be functional, and technical artifacts may lead to erroneous inference of transcription. Inter-species comparison provides confidence to predicted annotation, since transcriptional activity that has been evolutionarily conserved is likely to have an advantageous function. We have performed RNA-Seq and CAGE-Seq experiments on more than 80 samples from multiple tissues and stages of 15 Drosophila species, including 8 previously unsequenced genomes. We have found strikingly conserved sequence, expression, and splicing for the vast majority of transcript models in modENCODE annotation (e.g. 99% exons of coding sequences (CDS), 88% exons of untranslated regions (UTR), and 87% splicing events), indicating that the transcriptome annotation is of very high quality. We also describe dynamic transcriptome evolution within the Drosophila genus, including conserved promoter structure, labile positions of transcription start sites, and rapidly evolving RNA-editing events. We demonstrate how this phylogenetic approach to DNA element validation will prove useful in the annotation of other high priority genomes, especially for genomes that are less compact than Drosophila (e.g. the vast majority of vertebrate genomes).
