Project description:These data are published in a series with the TIME-Seq sequencing data. TIME-Seq is a method for efficient methylation sequencing, primarily used for epigenetic clock analysis.

Project description:We describe an improved individual nucleotide resolution CLIP protocol (iiCLIP), which can be completed within 4 days from UV crosslinking to libraries for sequencing. For benchmarking, we directly compared PTBP1 iiCLIP libraries with the iCLIP2 protocol produced under standardised conditions with 1 million HEK293 cells, and with public eCLIP and iCLIP PTBP1 data. There are 3 PTBP1 iiCLIP libraries, 1 input iiCLIP library and 1 PTBP1 iCLIP2 library produced in this study.
Project description:With its capacity for high-resolution data output in one region of interest, chromosome conformation capture combined with high-throughput sequencing (4C-seq) is a state-of-the-art next-generation sequencing technique that provides epigenetic insights, and regularly advances current medical research. However, 4C-seq data is complex and prone to biases, and while specialized programs exist, an unbiased, extensive benchmarking is still lacking. Furthermore, neither substantial datasets with fully characterized ground truth, nor simulation programs for realistic 4C-seq data have been published. We conducted a benchmarking study on 54 4C-seq samples from 12 datasets, including original murine BMM, T-cell, and 416B data, and developed a novel 4C-seq simulation software to allow for more detailed comparisons of 4C-seq algorithms on 50 simulated datasets with 10 to 120 samples each.
Project description:Brain organoids (BO) enabled the investigation of human corticogenesis in-vitro with an increasing range of protocols achieving its remarkable recapitulation. However, we lack a resource gathering fetal cortex-specific gene co-expression patterns and their behavior in BO. We complement the current knowledge with a benchmarking of BO versus human corticogenesis, integrating: transcriptomes from in-house differentiated cortical BO (CBO), in-house processed human fetal brain samples, analysis of transcriptomes from different BO systems and of pre-natal cortical samples from the BrainSpan Atlas.
