Project description:100mM EMS was added to mid-log phase Halobacterium NRC-1 cultures. After constant stress of EMS for 30 minutes, cultures were spun down and pellets were re-suspended in same volume of GN101 media. Cultures were then harvested by centrifugation and pellets were snap frozen on a dry-ice ethanol bath. Samples for RNA preparation were collected during recovery time points at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 120 minutes. Keywords: stress response, dose response

Cultures were then harvested by centrifugation and pellets were snap frozen on a dry-ice ethanol bath. Samples for RNA preparation were collected during recovery time points at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 120 minutes. 16 samples (8 samples from EMS perturbed and 8 non-perturbed controls) were analyzed on replicate arrays (dye-flips) all against the same standard reference sample.
Project description:Granulosa cells are essential to the growth, development, and maturation of oocytes and follicles. In patients with EMs-related infertility, follicle maturation disorders, poor oocyte quality may be closely related to GCs in the follicle. However, the molecular biological mechanism of GCs in EMs-related infertility has not been reported. Therefore, we tried to explore the possible causes of EMs-related infertility through the study of ovarian GCs in patients with EMs-related infertility and tubal factor infertility.
Project description:To investigate the effects of transgenic lines L6 and L7 tomato fruits on total expression profile of MCF-7 breast cancer cells, we treated MCF-7 cells with 1 ug/ml of tomato fruit extract for 24 hours and compare it with wild type tomato fruit extract Objectives for this study included the identification of genes that were up or down-regulated at the transcriptional level in MCF-7 cells treated with transgenic lines L6 and L7 tomatofruit extract and compare it to wild type tomato fruit extract.
