Project description:Ecotype-specific differences in genome methylation were assayed in Arabidopsis Col and Ler variations using genomic tiling microarrays. Comparative genome hybridization was also performed so that the contribution of ecotype-specific amplifications and deletions could be estimated and integrated into the analysis of differential DNA methylation. Keywords: methylation analysis and comparative genome hybridization
Project description:The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a highly conserved complex consisting of eight subunits, which influences key developmental pathways through its regulation of protein stability and transcription. Mutations in each of the CSN subunits exhibits diverse pleiotropic phenotypes We used microarrays to compare gene expression of two CSN mutants with their corresponding wild types: a non-lethal csn5a-1 mutant, vs. columbia ecotype, and a lethal, csn8 mutant, vs. Wassilewskija ecotype
