Project description:Investigation of the ability of WT or mutant hPRDM15 to restore the transcriptional changes induced by deletion of the endogenous mouse Prdm15
Project description:Purpose: This study aimed at exploring the deregulated genes in setd2 knockout mESCs compared with wt, more particularly to find the mechanism controlled by setd2,which was required for endoderm differentiation. Methods: Setd2 wt and ko mESCs were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina GAIIx. Using Avadis NGS (version:1.3) software to analyze the sequence reads that passed quality filter to acquire the expression level of all genes. qRT–PCR validation was performed usingSYBR Green assays. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 80 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm9) and identified 17,827 transcripts in the sted2 wt and ko mESCs. About 2,516 genes were deregulated in setd2 ko mESCs, more than 10 genes were validated using qRT-PCR. Conclusions: Through RNA-seq,we noticed that a subset of genes that related to MAPK signaling pathways were down-regulated in ko mESCs. This provided a bridge to connect setd2 and mESCs endoderm differentiation. One wt and one ko mESCs were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina GAIIx.

Project description:In this assay, we aimed to investigate the impacts of ZFP661 on the permeability of CTCF barriers to chromatin interactions. To achieve this, we generated high-resolution Hi-C maps using WT and Zfp661 knockout (KO) mESCs. Our findings demonstrate that ZFP661 suppresses the trapping of cohesin at the CTCF barriers and modulates their permeability.
Project description:This experiment was designed to determine the extent of gene misregulation in mESCs containing catalytically dead Ring1B in comparison to mESCs lacking Ring1B. Polyadenylated mRNA was prepared from wildtype mESCs (WT), mESCs deficient for Ring1B (KO) and mESCs cells containing catalytically dead Ring1B (I53A). Each sample is represented by 3 biological replicate hybridisations.
Project description:We used RRBS to analyze DNA methylation in mESC lines deficient for maternal Dnmt3L (Dnmt3L mKO), zygotic Dnmt3L (Dnmt3L KO), and both maternal and zygotic Dnmt3L (Dnmt3L mzKO). Compared to wild-type (WT) mESCs, Dnmt3L mKO mESCs exhibit severe loss of methylation at imprinted loci but no changes in global DNA methylation, Dnmt3L KO mESCs exhibit moderate loss of methylation at many Dnmt3a target regions but do not affect methylation at imprinted loci, and Dnmt3L mzKO mESCs exhibit combined changes of mKO and KO cells, with severe loss of methylation at imprinted loci and moderate loss of methylation at Dnmt3a target regions.
Project description:To study the cell composition and gene expression profile in the mesendoderm differentiation of WT and PHD2 knockout, we performed scRNA-seq on the cells collected from the differentiation of WT and PHD2 knockout AB2.2 mESCs at differentiation day 4. PHD2 knockoutout mESCs were constructed by CRISPR/Cas9. The differentiation was performed using a non-lineage tendency differentiation protocol.
