Project description:NeuroD2 targets were identified from embryonic day 14.5 cerebral cortex tissue. The cerebral cortex (dorsal telencelphalon) from E14.5 mouse embryos was dissected and ChIP-SEQ was performed using three separate antibodies against NeuroD2.
Project description:The Dlx homeodomain transcription factors are implicated in regulating the function of inhibitory neurons; therefore understanding their functions will provide insights into disorders such as epilepsy, mental retardation, autism and cerebral palsy. Comparing gene expression in the embryonic basal ganglia and cortex in wild type and dlx1/2 mutant mice will provide information regarding the types of genes that are downstream of Dlx1/2 function. Perform gene array analyses in duplicate or triplicate; compare expression profile of total RNA from wild type and dlx1/2 telencephalons. I am sending separate samples of the Basal Ganglia (BG) and cortex. I want to perform gene expression comparison between: 1) wild type and dlx1/2 basal ganglia (BG) 2) wild typee and dlx1/2 cortex (ctx). Age of all mice has been indicated as 14 days to satisfy system requirements, however all mice are embryonic day 14.5.
Project description:Cajal-Retzius cells have important role in cerebral cortex development, such as secreted Reln protein, maintain normal lays of cerebral cortex. To explore novel secretory protein of Cajal-Retzius cells and to survey the roles of Cajal-Retzius cells in cerebral cortex development, we analyzed transcriptome profiles of 6753 single cells of the embryonic 18 days.
Project description:Differential gene expression of cerebral cortex might be responsible for distinct neurovascular developments between different mouse strains We used Affymetrix microarray to explore the global gene expression patterns of mouse cerebral cortex of different mouse strains at two developmental stages Cerebral cortex from two mouse strains [C57BL/6J(B6) and C3H/J (C3H)] at post-natal day 1 (p1) and post-natal 11 weeks (11 wk) were harvested for microarray experiments
Project description:TBR1 is a forebrain specific T-box transcription factor. Tbr1-/- mice have been characterized by defective axonal projections from cerebral cortex and abnormal neuronal migration of cerebral cortex and amygdala. To investigate how TBR1 regulates neural development, the gene expression profile of Tbr1-/- brains was compared with WT littermates. Total RNAs purified from forebrains at embryonic day 16.5 were hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays
