Project description:We designed a custom expression 8x15 k microarray for Cottus fishes based on transcriptome sequencing. It is a known fact, that oligonucleotide probes differ in the binding behavior towards their target sequences. Therefore, we performed a calibration of our microarray where we assessed the binding behavior of the individual probes empirically. This information was used to normalize gene expression data measurements with the same microarray in another experiment. Please refer to the accompanying publication (Czypionka et al. 2011."Transcriptome changes after genome wide admixture in invasive sculpins" Molecular Ecology; no doi yet) for more information. Labeled cRNA was prepared from 3 Cottus fish. These 3 fish were representative of species (C.rhenanus, C.perifretum, invasive hybrid species) used in another experiment. An calibration pool was prepared from equimolar amounts of this cRNA. Increasing amounts of labeled cRNA (75 ng, 150 ng, 300 ng, 600 ng, 1200 ng, 2400 ng, 4800 ng), corresponding to (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4 and 8 times the recommended amount of 600 ng) were hybridized to 7 microarrays (one microarray per dilution-step). The change in observed signal intensity in relation to the change in amount of labeled cRNA was used to infer the target-binding behavior of the individual probes. This information was extracted, to be used for a normalization procedure in another experiment with the same microarray (see Czypionka et al. 2011."Transcriptome changes after genome wide admixture in invasive sculpins" Molecular Ecology; no doi yet)

Project description:A custom 8x60 k expression microarray for larvae of European fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) was designed based on transcriptome sequencing. It is known the fact, that oligonucleotide probes differ in the binding behavior towards their target sequences. Therefore, we performed a calibration of our microarray where we assessed the binding behavior of the individual probes empirically. This information was used to normalize gene expression data measurements with the same microarray in another experiment. Please refer to the accompanying publication (Czypionka et al. 2015."

Ecological transcriptomics – a non-lethal sampling approach for endangered fire salamanders" Methods in Ecology and Evolution) for more information. Labeled cRNA was prepared from Salamander larvae kept at 9°C and 17°C. A cRNA calibration pool was prepared with equimolar amounts of cRNA prepared from (a) a larvae (temperature: 9°C: source: pond KOE), (b) a larvae (temperature: 17°C: source: pond KOE), (c) a larvae (temperature: 9°C: source: stream KoGB (Klufterbach) and (d) a larvae (temperature: 17°C: source: stream KoGB (Klufterbach). See Steinfartz et al. (2007) (doi: 10.1111/j.1365-294X.2007.03490.x) for information of the source populations. Increasing amounts of labeled cRNA (75 ng, 150 ng, 300 ng, 600 ng, 1000 ng, 1400 ng, 1800 ng, 2200 ng), corresponding to (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 1 2/3, 2 1/3, 3 and 3 3/3 times the recommended amount of 600 ng) were hybridized to 8 microarrays (one microarray per dilution). The change in observed signal intensity in relation to the change in amount of labeled cRNA was used to infer the target-binding behavior of the individual probes. This information was extracted, to be used for a normalization procedure in another experiment with the same microarray (see Czypionka et al. 2015." Ecological transcriptomics – a non-lethal sampling approach for endangered fire salamanders" Methods in Ecology and Evolution). The current study provides only raw data for a calibration experiment, to validate the binding behavior of the different probes on a newly designed microarray for a non model organism (European Fire salamander). This calibration is based only on raw data. More information on targeted genes is provided in a different GEO dataset (currently submitted), where biological meaningful analysis are performed with data which are normalized based on this calibration.

Project description:Picky is an optimal microarray design software which designed the NSF Rice 45K Array. A series of microarray experiments using a one-chip version of this array were conducted to validate as well as to develop a calibration method for Picky designed microarrays. Synthesized samples with known content were used in the validation. PICKY designed microarrays were found to be highly reliable. The PICKY predicted closest nontarget information was used to quantitatively calibrate the best microarray hybridization conditions using the same microarrays and synthesized samples. Because this method works under most microarray protocols, it is generally applicable in any lab that uses PICKY as their microarray design tool. The associate publication provides more details about the experiment design and discussions about its results. Keywords: Microarray Calibration 20 probes on the NSF Rice Oligonucleotide 45K Array grouped into two sets were chosen for microarray calibration. 40 antisense oligonucleotides were synthesized based on the target and closest nontarget gene sequences for each of the chosen probes. 5 different experiments were designed with varied concentrations and dye labeling schemes for the 40 antisense oligos. Two hybridizations were conducted for each experiment at each calibration temperature. 7 sets of experiments were conducted at 70, 60, 55, 53, 50, 48 and 45 degree C using a total of 70 microarrays. Each microarray is scanned at multiple PMT settings to obtain multiple data files. After inspection, weak signal results at 70 degree C and a few contaminated microarray results were discarded. Altogether, 165 valid GenePix GPR files were produced and included in this series.

Project description:European sculpins (Cottus) harbor an example of a recent hybrid speciation event, which entails the invasion of a new habitat by the hybrid species. We compare the transcriptomes of both parental species and the hybrid species to understand how they differ. F2 crosses between the parent species are compared to the hybrid species and its parent species to identify unique patterns of the hybrid species due to the initial hybridization process or respectively to other processes. See the accompanying publication (Czypionka et al. 2011.Transcriptome changes after genome wide admixture in invasive sculpins Molecular Ecology no doi yet) for more information. The transcriptome was compared between an invasive hybrid species of Cottus (Sieg population n = 8) and its parent species C.rhenanus and C.perifretum. Expression profiles of both parental populations were assessed by two independent replicate population (C.rhenanus: Broel and Naaf; C.perifretum Laarse Beek and Witte Nete; each population n = 8). The transcriptomes of F2 crosses between the populations of C.rhenanus and C.perifretum were assessed with for independent crosses with 4 biological replicates for each cross (n = 4 x 4 = 16). We used a custom design microarray with probes designed based on transcriptome sequencing. We used a newly developed calibration method to account for differences in individual probe binding behavior and to detect and remove probes unfit for analysis. Data stored as “normalized data” are normalized and quality filtered based on this new calibration method and normalized for interarray comparability by division by the 75%tile signal intensity for each array.

Project description:Calibration array used to assess probe specific binding behaviour across eight different amounts of DNA starting material. This calibration step was performed to select one best out of three probes per gene based on probe responsiveness on increasing DNA staring material. It was further used to calibrate a subsequent microarray experiment to account for probe specific binding behaviour as part of the normalization process (see also Dennenmoser et al. 2017 Copy number increases of transposable elements and protein coding genes in an invasive fish of hybrid origin).

Project description:Despite various efforts to develop tools to detect and compare the activity and catabolic potential and activity for pollutant degradation of microorganisms in environmental samples, an open-source, curated and reliable method is still required. Here we report on a customize normalization system that can be applied to any microarray design, allowing the assessment of reliability of signals and enabling cross-experiment comparisons. Probes for the underlying catabolic gene array were designed based on manually curated databases for catabolic key genes. Signals were assigned to the respective catabolic protein subfamily that allows to inferring the functions and substrate specificity. The placement of probes for critical degradation nodes and subsequent metabolic steps allows the retrieval of information on the metabolic net. Information on gene localization from genome surveys was correlated to signals of putative hosts to generate phylogenetic community information. Hence, this novel array system was validated using genomic DNA of genome sequenced bacterial strains hosting biodegradation functions and applied to genomic DNA and RNA extracted from environmental samples under aromatic pollution pressure.
