ABSTRACT: Synergy of Fe-modified zeolite and light stimulation on ammonia-stressed anaerobic digestion: Performance, microbial community and metabolic pathway
Project description:In this study we developed MPE-seq, a method for the genome-wide characterization of chromatin that involves the digestion of nuclei with methidiumpropyl-EDTA-Fe(II) [MPE-Fe(II)] followed by massively parallel sequencing. Like micrococcal nuclease (MNase), MPE-Fe(II) preferentially cleaves the linker DNA between nucleosomes. We also performed MNase-seq as a comparison. We further performed ChIP-seq using chromatin samples obtained by MPE-Fe(II) or MNase digestion of nuclei.

We further performed ChIP-seq using chromatin samples obtained by MPE-Fe(II) or MNase digestion of nuclei. Nuclei from J1 mouse embryonic stem cells were treated with MPE-Fe(II) or MNase. The isolated DNA was sequenced by Illumina HiSeq sequencers. Some of the digested chromatin was studied by performing ChIP-seq using antibodies against histone H2B or H3.
Project description:The antagonistic interaction between iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) has been noted in the area of plant nutrition. To understand the physiology and molecular mechanisms of this interaction, we studied the growth performance, nutrient concentration, and gene expression profiles of root and shoot segments derived from 10-d-old rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings under four different nutrient conditions: (1) full strength of Fe and P (+Fe+P); (2) full strength of P and no Fe (-Fe+P); (3) full strength of Fe and no P (+Fe-P); and (4) without both Fe and P (-Fe-P). We used Affymetrix genechip to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying different Fe and P supply conditions identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes.
