ABSTRACT: Centroceras gasparrinii var. minor (Ceramiaceae, Rhodophyta) in the North Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean): molecular and morphological characterization and distribution
Project description:Updating of Ceramium (Rhodophyta, Ceramiales) biodiversity in the North Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean) based on a molecular and morphological approach
Project description:Histone modifications represent one of the key factors contributing to proper genome regulation. One of the histone modifications involved in gene silencing is H3K9 methylation, which is found in the chromosomes across different eukaryotes and controlled by SU(VAR)3-9 and its orthologs. Although SU(VAR)3-9 was discovered over two decades ago, little is known about the details of its chromosomal distribution pattern. To fill in this gap, we used DamID-seq approach and obtained high-resolution genome-wide profiles for SU(VAR)3-9 in two somatic and two germline tissues of fruitfly.

Although SU(VAR)3-9 was discovered over two decades ago, little is known about the details of its chromosomal distribution pattern and effect on gene regulation during germ cells development. To fill in this gap, we used RNA-Seq approach to investigate the effect of Su(var)3-9 mutation on gene expression during Drosophila spermatogenesis.
