Project description:The aim of the experiment was to compare chromatin states between healthy and hyperglycaemic mice. We focused on dendritic cells extracted from the lungs. Nuclei were extracted from 200.000 sorted dendritic cells per sample. H3K27me3 and H3K27ac were then profiled using CUT&RUN protocol.
Project description:CUT&RUN was performed for Sox2 on ex-vivo dissected visual thalamic nuclei from P0 mice, revealing context specific activity of Sox2 binding in differentiated neurons.
Project description:Spermatogenesis is a recurring differentiation process that results in the production of male gametes within the testes. During this process, spermatogonial stem cells differentiate to form spermatocytes, which undergo two rounds of meiotic division to form haploid spermatids. Throughout spermiogenesis, round spermatids elongate to form mature sperm. To profile changes in chromatin marks between spermatocytes and spermatids, we generated CUT&RUN data of H3K4me3, H3K27ac and H3K9me3 marks in sorted spermatocytes and spermatids.
Project description:Through high throughput compound screening, we've identified compounds that induce the expression of fetal hemoglobin. This study contains CUT&RUN data of a novel target, WIZ.
Project description:LncRNAs represent a major transcriptional output of the human genome, but the function of many of these elements is unknown. In this experiment, we have used the ‘CUT&RUN’ technique to quantify the changes in histone mark enrichment across the genome upon depletion of the lncRNA LINC00899 in HeLa cells. LINC00899 is of interest as its depletion results in mitotic delay, suggesting a role in mitotic progression. The CUT&RUN procedure uses antibodies to target a nuclease to the relevant protein binding site, cleaving the surrounding DNA for sequencing and yielding output equivalent to that of ChIP-seq. This experiment contains 2 replicate batches where each batch contains a sample with LINC00899 knocked down by RNA interference (RNAi); a RNAi negative control; a sample with LINC00899 knocked down with locked nucleic acid antisense oligonucleotides (LNA); and a LNA negative control. This was performed using antibodies against H3K4me3, H3K27ac, H3K36me3 and H3K27me3, as well as an IgG (goat-derived anti-rabbit) control. All samples in each batch were generated at the same time. Within each batch, all CUT&RUN experiments with the same knockdown were performed on nuclei obtained from the same cell culture. Independent cell cultures were used for experiments with different knockdown or in different batches.
Project description:X chromosome reactivation (XCR) occurs over a prolonged period during genome-wide reprogramming in female germ cells, initiating soon after primordial germ cell specification. The kinetics of XCRs remain poorly understood, as previous studies of XCR were based on a few genes. For a global appraisal of the regulation of XCR dynamics, we performed matched CUT&RUN for H3K27me3 and H2AK119ub1 on F1 female (XX(Xist∆)) germ cells at E13.5 and E16.5 stages during embryonic development.
Project description:Covalent DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC) are toxic DNA lesions that require repair by global-genome and replication-coupled pathways. How cells respond when RNA polymerases stall at DPCs during transcription is unknown. DPC-seq is new method for the genome-wide mapping of covalent DNA-protein adducts.
Project description:ATAC-seq samples from 2 species and 2 cell types were generated to study cis-regulatory element evolution. Briefly, previously generated urinary stem cell derived iPS-cells (Homo sapiens) of 2 human individuals and fibroblast derived cynomolgus macaque iPSCs (Macaca fascicularis) of 2 individuals (Geuder et al. 2021) were differentiated to neural progenitor cells via dual-SMAD inhibition as three-dimensional aggregation culture (Chambers et al. 2009; Ohnuki et al. 2014). The NPC lines were cultured in NPC proliferation medium and passaged 2 - 4 times until they were dissociated and subjected to ATAC-seq together with the respective iPSC clones. ATAC-seq libraries were generated using the Omni-ATAC protocol (Corces et al. 2017) with minor modifications.
Project description:ChIP-seq for H3K27me3 and Ring1B was performed in WT mESCs and mESCs containing catalytically inactive Ring1B (I53A mutant). Cells expressing catalytically inactive Ring1B maintain the spatial distribution of Ring1B and H3K27me3 but at reduced levels. These findings support the notion that PRC2 recruitment is, in part, dependent on H2A ubiquitination (H2AK119ub). Two biological replicates were performed for Ring1B and H3K27me3 ChIPs in WT and Ring1B I53A/I53A mouse ESCs. Input chromatin was sequenced for each replicate as a control for ChIP enrichment.
