Germination and appressorium formation in Magnaporthe grisea
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This series examines differential gene expression during germination and appressorium formation by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea. Conidia were germinated on either the hydrophobic (inductive) or hydrophilic (non-inductive) side of GelBond. RNA was extracted from conidia and following incubation for 7 and 12 hours. RNA from two biological replications of each treatment was pooled in equal amounts and labeled with both cy3 and cy5 dyes using the Agilent Technologies Low Input Linear Amplification Kit. Hybridizations were performed on Agilent Technologies whole genome oligo rice blast arrays (product G4137A) using manufacturer prescribed protocols and reagents in an interlaced loop design in which each treatment was paired with every other. This series contains a total of 10 hybridizations; each treatment was used in 4 hybridizations (2 with cy3 and 2 cy5). Spot fluorescence was normalized using Lowess within and between microarray slides in Bioconductor and gene expression profiles analyzed in GeneSpring. Keywords: other

Project description:Rice is one of important crop and, the genome has been already completely sequenced. Moreover we collected more than 30K rice FL-cDNA clones as transcriptome resources. However, the cDNA collection did not reveal the transcription activity and specificity of expression. So, we designed 60-mer oligo array based on the array system of Agilent Technologies (GPL477) as custom array. For validation of the array, we tested the reproducibility of labeling and hybridization. After this validation, 22K rice oligo array was supplied from Agilent Technologies (GPL892). 1: reproducibility of labeling: mRNA of shoot sample was amplified and labeled more than 10 times with Cy3 and Cy5, and both Cy3- and Cy5-labeled cRNA was hybridized on a slide (self-hybridization), and validate the reproducibility of labeling. In addition, we also amplified and labeled mRNA of other samples with Cy3 and Cy5, and made a self-hybridization. The intensity data of these array was also indicated transcription activity of genes in these samples. Keywords: variety among tissues
Project description:We used BAF250b-/- ES cells, two independently derived clones, at 18 and 72 hr in culture and compared them with parental cell line (wild-type) at the same time in culture (two replications each). Total RNAs were extracted using Trizol (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer protocol. 2.5 ug of total RNA samples were labeled with Cy3-CTP using a Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent). A reference target (Cy5-CTP-labeled) was prepared from the Universal Mouse Reference RNA (Stratagene). Labeled targets were purified using an RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the Agilent's protocol, quantitated by a NanoDrop scanning spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies), and hybridized to the NIA Mouse 44K Microarray v2.2 (whole genome 60-mer oligo; manufactured by Agilent Technologies, #014117) (Carter et al. 2005) according to the Agilent protocol (G4140-90030; Agilent 60-mer oligo microarray processing protocol - SSC Wash, v1.0). All hybridizations were carried out in the two color protocol by combining one Cy3-CTP-labeled experimental target and Cy5-CTP-labeled reference target. Microarrays were scanned on an Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner, using standard settings, including automatic PMT adjustment. Keywords: genetic modification design,time series design
Project description:Gene expression analysis was conducted using Agilent Human1Av2 arrays (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). Two separate biological replicates of cytoplasmic RNA samples were harvested and purified from each of the U-2 OS cell lines stably expressing hGRalpha, -A, -B, -C3, or D3 treated with 100 nM DEX or vehicle for 6 hours using RNeasy Midi kits (Invitrogen). These RNA samples were amplified using the Agilent Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit protocol. Starting with 0.5 ng of total RNA, two cRNAs, one labeled with Cy3 and one labeled with Cy5 were produced for each sample according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Consequently, four separate chips were used for each of the isoforms at each treatment condition, yielding a total of 40 chips: 5 isoforms X 2 treatments (vehicle vs. hormone) X 2 biological replicates X 2 labeling dyes. For each two-color comparison, 750 ng of each Cy3 and Cy5 labeled cRNAs were mixed and fragmented using the Agilent In Situ Hybridization Kit protocol. Hybridizations were performed for 16 hours in a rotating hybridization oven using the Agilent 60-mer oligo microarray processing protocol. Slides were washed as indicated in this protocol and then scanned with an Agilent Scanner. Data were obtained using the Agilent Feature Extraction software (v7.1), using defaults for all parameters.

Project description:One µg of total RNA from either an individual rat or from a pooled sample was amplified and labeled with a fluorescent dye (either Cy3 or Cy5) using the Low RNA Input Linear Amplification Labeling kit (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA) following the manufacturer’s protocol. The amount and quality of the resulting fluorescently labeled cRNA was assessed using a Nanodrop ND-100 spectrophometer and an Agilent Bioanalyzer. Equal amounts of Cy3- or Cy5-labeled cRNA were hybridized to the Agilent Rat Oligo Microarray (Agilent Technologies, Inc., Palo Alto, CA) for 17 hrs, prior to washing and scanning. Data was extracted from the resulting images using Agilent’s Feature Extraction Software (Agilent Technologies, Inc., Palo Alto, CA). For day/night comparisons, two types of complementing hybridizations were performed: hepatic RNA from individual day rats was hybridized against a pool made up of RNA from 12 hour offset night rats, and RNA from individual night rats was hybridized against a pool made up of RNA from 12-hour offset day rats. Specifically, hepatic RNA samples from three individual day rats collected ten hours after light on (CT10) were hybridized against a pooled RNA sample composed of equal aliquots of RNA from the livers of six night rats collected ten hrs after lights off (CT22); and RNA samples from three individual night rats collected at CT22 were hybridized against a pooled RNA sample composed of equal aliquots of RNA from the livers of six day rats collected at CT10. This was replicated in a second study for a total of 24 hybridizations of 12 hour offset samples. For time of day comparisons, equal aliquots of RNA from the livers of six rats collected at each of four different times of the circadian day (CT4, CT10, C16 and CT22) were pooled. The two replicate studies thus resulted in 8 pools (two replicate pools/time point times four time points); each pool was hybridized against a Universal Rat Reference RNA Standard (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA). Keywords: time-course
Project description:Eight “self-self” hybridizations were prepared as follows. Total RNA was isolated from each of three rat livers and brains, and equal mass amounts of each of these six samples were combined to create a mixed RNA population. Cy3- and Cy5-labeled cDNA was generated from this RNA mixture using an aminoallyl nucleoside analog indirect labeling protocol. Specifically, eight separate 20 microgram aliquots of the total RNA mixture were reverse transcribed into cDNA in the presence of aminoallyl-dUTP and the resulting cDNA was then coupled to either Cy3 or Cy5 mono NHS ester (four reactions with each label). Keywords: Self-Self Hybridization
Project description:RNA was extracted with Rneasy Micro Kit (Qiagen, France) from SKBR3 cells treated with 1 uM ATRA. The quantity and purity of the extracted RNA was evaluated using a NanoDropTM spectrophotometer and its integrity measured using an Agilent BioanalyzerTM. For microarray hybridizations, 500 ng of total RNA from each RNA sample was amplified and labeled with two fluorescents dye (Cy5 and Cy3) using the Quick Amplification Labeling kit (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) following the manufacturer's protocol. Cy3-labeled and Cy5-labelled cRNA were hybridized to the Agilent Human Whole Genome Oligo Microarray format 4x44K (Agilent Technologies), prior to washing and scanning.
