Project description:To elucidate miRNA-mediated temporal crosstalk during productive infection, we identified genome-wide miRNA target sites using Argonaute-crosslinking and immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (AGO-CLIPseq) in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-infected cells and evaluated the targeting efficacy by applying our new AGO-CLIPseq enrichment (ACE)-scoring algorithm.

To uncover the miRNA targetome in uninfected or infected human foreskin fibroblasts with HCMV (24, 48 and 72 post-infection hour) were subjected to take AGO-CLIPseq as well as mRNAseq/smallRNAseq.
Project description:Primary objectives: The primary objective is to investigate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via deep sequencing for mutation detection and by whole genome sequencing for copy number analyses before start (baseline) with regorafenib and at defined time points during administration of regorafenib for treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients in terms of overall survival (OS).

Project description:To investigate how Roquin regulates cellular transcripts during Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, we examined the levels of cellular transcripts in cells treated control or Roquin-targeting siRNA during HCMV replication. Also, we performed Roquin crosslinking and immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (Roquin CLIP-seq) in HCMV-infected cells to identify which transcripts are directly bound by Roquin.
Project description:RV samples were collected from discarded myocardial tissue from paediatric patients under 16 years of age undergoing their first cardiac surgery at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. Fresh biopsies (10 mg net weight) were collected from surgery from the apex of the RV immediately after institution of cardiac pulmonary bypass and snap frozen upon harvesting. Strand-specific bulk RNA sequencing was performed on whole tissue snap frozen RV biopsies via Genewiz (Azenta). Briefly, total RNA from RV was isolated from 10mg of tissue, with poly-A selection. Sequencing was conducted on Illumina NovaSeq, yielding 2x150bp paired end reads, 30 million read pairs per sample, with >80% of bases with Q30 or higher.
