Project description:The experiment was designed to study the transcriptional profiling of Candida albicans wild-type CAI-4 strains and corresponding Histatin 5 treated strains. Since Histatin 5 will kill Candida albicans, the focus will be on how many and which genes are significantly affected with the treatment of Histatin 5. Currently, we only conducted the microarray experiments at one concentration of Histatin 5 and one time point of treatment. Keywords: cell type comparison
Project description:We built 3 strains from Candida albicans wild-type strains, mutant strain with one TRK1 gene deleted(one allele of two genes was deleted), overexpression strain(add one allele of the gene to rp10 locus), and restoration strain(add one allele of the gene to mutant strains). The goal is study the expression level change of genes among the three strains compared with wild-type strain on a genomic scale. Keywords: genetic modification
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Candida albicans cells comparing control untreated C. albicans cells with sulfite-treated C. albicans cells. Sulfite is a toxic molecule that C. albicans encounters in its human host. Both wild type and ∆zcf2 mutant cells were used. The goal was to determine the effects of sulfite on C. albicans gene expression, and to determine which of the genes areZcf2-depedent.
Project description:Transcriptome profiling to identify Cap2/Hap43 regulons in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans: Wild type vs. cap2D grown in iron-depleted medium
Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of wild type and GCN5-deficient Candida albicans cells prior to and after treatment with Caspofungin 15 min and 45 min was done to determine the transcriptional changes in these strains
Project description:Mms21 deleteion in Candida albicans resulted in invasveness and filamentatation in YPD media at 30 degrees Celsius. Wild type SN148 do not make any Filaments in YPD at 30 degrees Celsius. The aim was to look for transcription profiling mms21 dleleted mutant against wild type to find genes up and down regulated in the mutant especially thoseones critical for filamentation.
