Project description:ATAC-seq profiling of Nfat5 KO and wild type macrophages derived from bone marrow (primary cells), treated or not with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Project description:These microarrays were performed for use in a genome-wide scan for LPS-regulated genes in mouse macrophages, in order to construct a list of LPS-regulated genes for detailed interrogation on custom microarrays (see GSE19490 for custom array analysis). Mouse macrophages (bone marrow-derived macrophages, BMM) were stimulated with the TLR4 agonist, lipopolysaccharide, over a time course (0, 0.5, 2, 6, 24h) and analysed in biological duplicate by commercial Illumina microarray.
Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.
Project description:Temporal analysis of bone marrow derived macrophages after 10 ug/ml lipopolysaccharide stimulation. C57BL6, C3H/ARC, BalbC and C3H/HeJ mouse strains analyzed. Each time point stimulated with 10ug/ml LPS from Salmonella minnesota for the time indicated. The RNA from each BMM stimulated time point was labeled with Cy3 and compared with a common reference (total RNA from C57BL6/J 17.5 embryo) labeled with Cy5.
