Project description:Single cell ATAC-seq of PBMC - resting and stimulated. Used for comparison to asses the capabilies of the five-prime sequencing method in the detection of cis-regulatory elements using SCAFE (see publication).
Project description:As part of the zebrafish genome annotation project the 3 prime ends of genes were pulled down on polyT beads and sequenced on the Illumina Genome Analyzer to identify alternative 3 prime ends in a range of tissues and developmental stages. Total RNA from a range of developmental stages and adult tissues were chemically fragmented, pulled down on polyT magnetic beads and double stranded cDNA was synthesized. The cDNA was BpmI digested to release from the beads and to leave a 6 T base tail. Illumina sequencing libraries were made followed by 76 base paired-end sequencing.

Project description:Aim: To discovery biomarkers in JIA base on gene expression from RNA sequencing on PBMC Method: Paired-end Ilumina sequencing to capture gene expression of PBMC from JIA individuals and healthy controls Results:sample heterogeneity makes RNA sequencing on PBMC unsuitable as a first-step method for screening biomarker candidates in JIA
Project description:In the analysis of peripheral blood gene expression, timely processing of samples is essential to ensure that measurements reflect in vivo biology, rather than ex vivo sample processing variables. The effect of processing delays on global gene expression patterns in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was assessed by isolating and stabilizing PBMC-derived RNA from three individuals either immediately after phlebotomy or following a 4 hour delay. RNA was labeled using NuGEN Ovation labeling and probed using the Affymetrix HG U133plus 2.0 GeneChip®. Comparison of gene expression levels (p<0.05 and ≥ 2-fold expression change) identified 327 probe sets representing genes with increased expression and 46 indicating decreased expression after 4 hours. The trends in expression patterns associated with delayed processing were also apparent in an independent set of 276 arrays of RNA from human PBMC samples with varying processing times. These data indicate that the time between sample acquisition, initiation of processing, and when the RNA is stabilized should be a prime consideration when designing protocols for translational studies involving PBMC gene expression analysis.
