Project description:We used Chromium Single Cell Multiome ATAC + Gene Expression to analyze CD45+ leukocytes in the rhesus macaque brain during homeostasis and chronic SIV infection
Project description:Sixteen individual rhesus macaque genomes were compared to a reference macaque genome (R354) on custom-designed sure-print 1M oligonucleotide microarray Agilent (Agilent Technologies) aCGH slide per manufacturer’s recommendations. a custom designed Agilent array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) platform, which comprises 950,843 unique 60-mer oligonucleotide probes specific to the rhesus macaque reference genome (rheMac2), to compare the genomic DNAs of 17 unrelated rhesus macaques of Indian origin to the genome of an unrelated sample from the same species.
Project description:The primary goal of this study was to compare the performances of Rhesus Macaque Genome Array and Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array with respect to the detection of differential expressions when rhesus macaque RNA extracts were labeled and hybridized. The secondary goal of this study was to investigate the effect of mismatch position on signal strength in Affymetrix GeneChips by examining naturally occurring mismatches between rhesus macaque transcripts and human probes from Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array.

Project description:Viral gene expression profiling in a rhesus macaque rhadinovirus positive B cell lymphoma obtained from a rhesus macaque experimentally infected with simian immunodeficiency virus and rhesus macaque rhadinovirus strain 17577. The experiment identified two viral open reading frames (ORFs) that were expressed in the lymphoma. Expression of these viral ORFs were confirmed by reverse transcriptase-PCR.
Project description:Aging of population is a great challenge of healthcare. In china, the number of the elderly is rapidly growing, and it was estimated that there will be approximately 400 million citizens above 65 years old in 2050.Study on the changes of brain during aging may help elucidate the mechanism of the pathological process, and hence prevent or treat these neurological diseases.Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) and human have a genetic homology of 95%, and their anatomy structures or physiological process are highly similar, which make rhesus macaque one of the most important nonhuman primate models.Thus, the comparison between the change of protein profile during aging in human and rhesus macaque is still necessary, and the characteristics of proteins that are conservative or divergent are of interest.The aim of the(our) study is to identify the conservative changes of pathways during aging, and to reveal the potential difference between human and rhesus macaque so that relevant studies based on primate models can be interpreted more accurately.

Keywords: cross hybridization Rhesus macaque RNA from five sources (immortalized fibroblasts, cerebral cortex, pancreas, testes and thymus) was divided into two sets of aliquots of equal amount. Samples from each of the five sources were labeled and hybridized with either Rhesus Macaque Genome Array or two Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array.
