Project description:Drosophila plasmatocyes expressed control or trxG RNAis under the plasmatocyte specific Hml promotor. 6h prior to plasmatocyte collection animals were split into control and septic injury groups and treated accordingly. Afterwards plasmatocytes were isolated and polyA RNA was subjected to RNA-seq.
Project description:OrR drosophila 3rd instar larvae were subjected to septic injury with a mixture of E.coli and S.aureus at 3h, 6h and 18h. Plasmatocytes were isolated afterwards and subjected to RNA-seq
Project description:Drosophila carrying Hml-SwitchGal4 were crossed to different uas-constructs (uas-eGFP, uas-PGRP-LC, uas-hop, uas-tkvQD). 3rd instar larvae were either kept as control or SwitchGal4 was activated by hormone feeding for 24h. Afterwards plasmatocytes were extracted and subjected to RNA-seq.
Project description:Drosophila 3rd instar larvae were subjected to septic injury. After 6h plasmatocytes were isolated, fixed and subjected to ChIP-seq.
Project description:To identify the presence of different chromatin states in homogeneous primary cells, Drosophila melanogaster plasmatocytes were isolated from 3rd instar larvae and subjected to cross-linked ChIP-seq using antibodies against a range of H3 histone modifications and PolII.
Project description:Drosophila melanogaster 3rd instar wandering larvae with a genetic construct for hemocyte ablation were collected along with genetically matched non-ablated animals, RNA was extracted from whole animals and used for RNA-seq.
Project description:The RNA-seq experiment looks for the role of methylation in the control of alternatives. Wild-type, lsm4-1, LSM4R and LSM4RxK in lsm4-1 background seedlings were grown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.8% (w/v) agar for 12 days under continuous light at 22°C. Three biological replicates were collected. Whole seedlings were harvested and total RNA was extracted with RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (QIAGEN) following the manufacturer’s protocols. To estimate RNA concentration NanoDrop 2000c (Thermo Scientific) was used. Libraries were prepared and sequenced at the Max Planck-Genome-Centre Cologne (MP-GC).
Project description:The RIP-seq experiment was designed to look for the direct targets of LSM4 U6snRNP component. For this plants were grown in Murashige and Skoog (MS) plates in continuous light (LL) for 12 days and were vacuum-infiltrated with 1% formaldehyde for 15 min followed by quenching with 125 mM glycine. A whole-cell extract was prepared in RIP-lysis buffer. The extract was pre-cleared with Sepharose beads and subjected to immunoprecipitation with GFP-Trap beads (Chromotek). After extensive washing with RIP washing buffer, co-precipitated RNAs were extracted with Trizol (Invitrogen) and treated with DNase (Promega). Libraries were prepared and sequenced at the Max Planck-Genome-Centre Cologne (MP-GC).
Project description:In the dry state, orthodox seeds have little antioxidant capacity, relying on reduced glutathione and tocochromanols for antioxidant defences rather than ascorbate or ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Ascorbate is synthesised de novo within a few hours of imbibition resulting in rapid increases in the ascorbate pool in the developing embryo. The knock-on effects of enhanced oxidation on embryo development before and after imbibition remain poorly characterised. A T-DNA insertional mutant line (SAIL_769_H05) line was used in these studies together with vtc2-1 mutants that were originally identified in an ethyl-methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis screen. Expression levels of dry seeds and imbibed seeds of the genotypes Col0, vtc2 (EMS) and vtc2.5 (SAIL_769_H05) were quantified using Illumina RNA-seq technology
