Project description:We performed CAGE-Seq on dissected ovaries and testes as well as female and male carcasses of two species of Drosophila (D. melanogaster and D. pseudoobscura). These data are used to map transcription start sites. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf For both species, D. melanogaster and D. pseudoobscura, CAGE-Seq was performed on dissected gonads (with reproductive tracts) and remaining carcasses from wild-type adults, using Illumina GAIIx (SRA Study SRP001602, Bioproject PRJNA36315). There are eight samples. Only Drosophila melanogaster testis samples were performed in biological duplicate. See Chen ZX et al. Genome Res 2014, 24(7):1209-23.

Project description:Meiosis is a specialized division that is specifically engaged in germ cells. This program is finely and dichotomically regulated: germ cells enter meiosis at fetal life in ovaries (13.5 dpc) and only at post-natal life in testes (8 dpp). We used microarrays to determine the gene expression modifications in Meioc mutant gonads displaying early meiotic defects. 14.5 dpc ovaries and 8 dpp testes from Meioc+/+ and Meioc-/- mice (NMRI) were dissected and processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Two pools were analysed for each genotype and each sex. We sought to constitutes pairs (A and B) of wild type and knock-out pools from embryos and pups that were homogenous for developmental stages and from matched littermates. 10 ovaries from 5 embryos composed each pool for females and 4 testes from 4 pups composed each pool for males.

Project description:To explore the transcriptional effects of aromatase inhibitors on sex differentiation of zebrafish, we exposed 3-month-old zebrafish (AB strain) to the third generation aromatase inhibitor Exemestane (CAS: 107868-30-4) and characterized transcript abundance among testes and ovaries after 32 days of drug exposure. After the drug treatment, we dissected zebrafish gonads, isolated polyA+ RNA and performed high-throughput RNA-Seq analysis.

Project description:The aim of this investigation was to compare transcription profiles from the ovaries and testes of mature T. thynnus to establish sex specific variations underlying their reproductive physiology. Two condition experiment, testis vs ovarian tissue. Biological replicates 4 male testes and 4 female ovaries.

Project description:Small-scale microarray profiling of all the genes encoding P450 enzymes of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae in active steroidogenic organs of adults. Ovaries from non blood-fed females were compared to ovaries of blood-fed females at different times after the blood meal: 16 and 22h post-blood-meal, and to male reproductive tracts from males.

Project description:Whereas in ovo exposure of genetically male (ZZ) chicken embryos to exogenous estrogens temporarily feminizes gonads at the time of hatching, the morphologically ovarian ZZ-gonads (FemZZs for feminized ZZ gonads) are masculinized back to testes within one year. To identify the feminization-resistant “memory” of genetic male sex, FemZZs showing varying degrees of feminization were subjected to transcriptomic, DNA methylome, and immunofluorescence analyses. Protein-coding genes were classified based on their relative mRNA expression across normal ZZ-testes, genetically female (ZW) ovaries, and FemZZs. We identified a group of 25 genes that were strongly expressed in both ZZ-testes and FemZZs but dramatically suppressed in ZW-ovaries. Interestingly, 84% (21/25) of these feminization-resistant testicular marker genes, including the DMRT1 master masculinizing gene, were located in chromosome Z. Expression of representative marker genes of germline cells (e.g., DAZL or DDX4/VASA) was stronger in FemZZs than normal ZZ-testes or ZW-ovaries. We also identified 231 repetitive sequences (RSs) that were strongly expressed in both ZZ-testes and FemZZs, but these RSs were not enriched in chromosome Z. Although 94% (165/176) of RSs exclusively expressed in ZW-ovaries were located in chromosome W, no feminization-inducible RS was detected in FemZZs. DNA methylome analysis distinguished FemZZs from normal ZZ- and ZW-gonads. Immunofluorescence analysis of FemZZ gonads revealed expression of DMRT1 protein in medullary SOX9+ somatic cells and apparent germline cell populations in both medulla and cortex. Taken together, our study provides evidence that both somatic and germline cell populations in morphologically feminized FemZZs maintain significant transcriptomic and epigenetic memories of genetic sex.

Project description:This is a prepublication dataset that should change as updates are made to the underling genomes and annotations. Additional samples may be deposited and some samples may fail quality control. Please contact Haiwang Yang <haiwang.yang@nih.gov> for details. The RNA-seq data set contains the transcriptional profiling of eight sexed tissue types (head, thorax, carcass, abdomen w/o gonad, gonad, other reproductive tract, genitalia, and digestive system) and/or whole adult flies from five strains of Drosophila grimshawi, two strains of D. silvestris, and one strain each of D. hemipeza, D. heteroneura, and D. hawaiiensis. Samples were collected in duplicate to quadruplicate from sexually mature sexed adults (4-5 weeks post eclosion), which had been allowed to freely mate. Single-end stranded 76bp PolyA+ RNA-seq was performed on all samples. Libraries were multiplexed with indexed adaptors, and some were also prepared as mixed libraries with RNA from genetically distant species: Drosophila melanogaster (GSE81142) and Anopheles stephensi (GEO entry in preparation). All whole adult samples were prepared from single flies. Tissues were pooled from 3-5 individuals depending on the size of both the tissue and the species. For the G1 strain (reference assembly strain) of D. grimshawi, we profiled seven adult tissues for each sex in addition to whole flies. Samples were whole fly (one fly per sample), head (5 flies), thorax (5 flies), abdomen w/o gonad (5 flies), gonad (testes or ovaries) (5 flies), other reproductive tract (accessory gland and male reproductive duct or female spermatheca and oviduct; 10 flies per sample), genitalia (10 flies), and digestive system (proventriculus, crop, salivary gland, gut, and renal tubule; 5 flies). We prepared sexed single fly whole body samples in quadruplicate for ZA27Z2, ZA27Z3, and Mo010 strains of D. grimshawi. We also prepared sex-specific head, carcass, gonad, other reproductive tract with genitalia with duplicate for Wm1041 strain of D. grimshawi and other species - D. silvestris (Y11R6 and U26B9 strains), D. hemipeza (W40B14 strain), D. heteroneura (W48B6 strain), and D. hawaiiensis (Y17P5 strain). We used reduced number of flies for the non-grimshawi species (i.e., 3 heads, gonads or carcasses per sample, and 6 reproductive tracts plus genitalia per sample).
