Project description:Blackcurrant fruit collected at six stages of development were assessed for changes in gene expression using custom whole transcriptome microarrays and for variation in metabolite content using a combination of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Principal components analysis demonstrated that fruit development could be clearly defined according to their transcript or metabolite profiles. During early developmental stages, metabolite profiles were dominated by amino acids and tannins, whilst transcript profiles were enriched in functions associated with cell division, anatomical structure morphogenesis and cell wall metabolism. During mid fruit development, fatty acids accumulated and transcript profiles were consistent with seed and embryo development. At the later stages, sugars and anthocyanins accumulated consistent with transcript profiles that were associated with secondary metabolism. Transcript data also indicated active signalling during later stages of fruit development. A targeted analysis of signalling networks revealed a dynamic activation and repression of almost 60 different transcripts encoding transcription factors across the course of fruit development, many of which have been demonstrated as pivotal to controlling such processes in other species. Transcripts associated with cytokinin and gibberellin were highly abundant at early fruit development, whilst those associated with ABA and ethylene tended to be more abundant at later stages. The data presented here provides an insight into fruit development in blackcurrant and provides a foundation for further work in the elucidation of the genetic basis of fruit quality.
Project description:This ArrayExpress record contains meta-data and results of quantitative analysis of cell lines from the NCI-60 panel using pressure cycling technology (PCT) and SWATH-mass spectrometry. Each cell line was analyzed in duplicate. Raw data files are available at the EMBL-EBI protemics data archive (PRIDE) at accession PXD003539 (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archive/projects/PXD003539). Since the record here does not include the raw data files and hence there is no need to explicitly link individual replicate to a raw file, each sample is only listed once in the ArrayExpress samples table for clarity.
Project description:The Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Initiative (HipSci) is generating a large, high-quality reference panel of human IPSC lines. This is a pilot submission of mass-spectrometry analyses from 18 induced pluripotent stem cell lines generated by the HipSci project. This submission includes also data for two embryonic stem cell lines, and one reference sample comprising a mixture of 42 IPSC lines. Raw data files for this study can be accessed from the PRIDE database at EMBL-EBI under accession number PXD003903: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archive/projects/PXD003903.
