Project description:In the present study, we applied two whole-genome sequencing techniques (WGBS/oxBS and hMe-Seal) to detect 5hmC (and 5mC) changes during the differentiation of the human SGBS preadipocyte cell line to mature adipocytes. As technical and biological validation we performed BS and oxBS followed by 450k array analysis. RNA-seq data was performed in parallel to study transcriptional changes associated with differential hydroxymethylation. In human white adipose tissue (WAT) hydroxymethylation (hME-Seal) was characterized in comparison with histone modifications and acNEIL1 binding (ACT-seq).
Project description:The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of Seal-G MIST System in reinforcing colorectal anastomosis, in subjects undergoing colorectal surgery.
Project description:The global localization of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmc) were measured by 5hmc-seal-seq in four populations of intestinal epithelium defined by their levels of a GFP reporter transgene that is driven by the regulatory elements of the Sox9 gene.
Project description:We have performed a genome wide transcriptional survey of liver biopsies obtained from patients in Hunan China, who have chronic schistosomiasis with and without past viral hepatitis history, compared to patients with no liver disease history or indicators. These results present a comprehensive transcriptional profile of chronic schistosomiasis japonica patients and demonstrate similarities and differences with other hepatic diseases. These unique features of gene expression, in conjunction with previous reports of the cellular composition of granuloma formation and recovery, present an improved understanding of the molecular immunopathology and general physiological status underlying hepatic schistosomiasis.
