Project description:P1 encodes an R2R3-MYB transcription factor responsible for the accumulation of insecticidal flavones in maize silks and red phlobaphene pigments in pericarps and other floral tissues, which contributed to making P1 an important visual marker since the dawn of modern genetics. We conducted RNA-Seq using from maize silks obtained at 2-3 days after emergence. High-throughput sequencing using the Illumina platform resulted in the generation of ~14 million high quality reads, corresponding to ~7 million reads for each sample, from which 76% aligned to the maize genome.
Project description:To gain a deeper understanding of the atopic dermatitis (AD) skin transcriptome and the effects of systemic treatment with dupilumab and cyclosporine, we conducted a gene expression study of AD using mRNA-Seq data generated from lesional and non-lesional skin biopsies collected from patients included in the TREATgermany registry. We are able to provide deep characterisation of AD skin transcriptomic signatures by using an assortment of bioinformatic approaches such as differential expression, co-expression network and pathway enrichment analysis.
