Project description:Mouse brain 10x Genomics Visium Spatial Transcriptomics profiles sequence either with Illumina for standard profiling and Nanopore promethION long read sequencer for full-length profiling.
Project description:E18 mouse brain single cell profiling using the 10x Genomics Chromium instrument workflow with either Illumina short read sequencing for the standard gene profiling and Nanopore PromethION long read sequencing for isoform profiling.
Project description:Affymetrix OncoScan data from primary and metastatic intracranial lesions collected for the validation of our intraoperative brain tumor classification with nanopore sequencing. All samples were processed from FFPE by our clinical lab using the standard protocol for clinical samples.
Project description:To address differences in splicing across brain regions (cerebellum, cortex, hippocampus, and striatum) and sexes, we used long-read Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) RNA sequencing to sequence 40 wild-type mouse brain cDNA libraries from 10 mice and calculated differential expression and transcript usage. We found that there is differential gene expression, differential transcript expression, and differential transcript usage across all brain regions. We found that the brain region with the most differential expression and transcript usage is the cerebellum, potentially driven by differences in cell type composition. Additionally, our findings suggest there is much differential splicing across brain regions and to a lesser extent, within brain regions across sexes.
Project description:iCLIP experiments tomap the RNA binding sites of the RNA-binding protein Unkempt across the transcriptome in SH-SY5Y cells, HeLa cells with ectopic Unk expression and mouse E15 embryonic brain samples. Expression of Unk is normally largely restricted to the nervous system. We therefore mapped the binding sites in human SH-SY5Y and mouse E15 brain to detect its physiological binding sites (in SH-SY5Y, we also performed the RNAseq experiment upon Unk knockdown). HeLa cells on the other hand normally don't express Unk, but convert to neuron-like shape when the protein is ectopically expressed. So, here we hoped to identify those binding events (and hence target transcripts) that are critical for this morphological transformation.
Project description:We create catalogues of genes showing significant strain, parent-of-origin, dominance, sex effect in inbreds and reciprocal F1 hybrids of three wild-derived strains (CAST, PWK, WSB) across 4 different tissues (brain, kidney, liver, and lung) We used microarrays to validate the Brain results of RNAseq from inbred and F1 of 3 by 3 diallel. Brain, liver, kidney and lung RNA from the same mice used for RNAseq were hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.1 ST 96-Array Plate arrays using a GeneTitan instrument from Affymetrix.
