Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE9504: Expression data from hybrid female Xenopus sex reversal experiment; GSE9505: Expression data from hybrid male Xenopus sex reversal experiment Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series
Project description:Sex chromosomes and more particularely the X chromosomes are known to have a major effect on hybrid male sterility. In this experiment by making use of the reciprocal hybrids between D. simulans and D. sechellia, we are showing the effect of these chromosomes on gene expression in male hybrids Keywords: X chromosome, hybrid
Project description:Gene expression was examined in testis and brain tissue between two species (Xenopus laevis and Xenopus borealis) and their hybrid. Genomic DNA hybridizations of the microarray target and non-target species were used to select probes that are unbiased between species.
Project description:To explore the aberrant expression patterns between hybrid sexes, we compare the global gene expression of 7-day-old whole body adults of hybrids by sex in recently diverged Drosophia pseudoobscura group 7-day-old virgin hybrid flies were assayed by sex. Reciprocal F1 hybrids were produced for D. pseudoobscura/D. persimilis and D. pseudoobscura/D. p. bogotana crosses by mass mating virgin flies. At least three isofemale inbred lines were used for each species (D. pseudoobscura; D. persimilis; D. pseudoobscura bogotana).Two separate labeling reactions per sample were pooled and hybridized to the Agilent single color (Cyanine 3-CTP dye) arrays. Three different replicates were hybridized for each hybrid and sex. Pure species data (collected the same time and deposited as GSE17192 ) and hybrid data were analyzed together to determine the misexpression differences between hybrid males and females.
Project description:Purpose: In this study we employed unbiased, genome wide techniques to identify novel enhancers of Sox9 that may cause Disorders of Sex Development (DSDs) when disrupted in the mouse. Methods: We performed ATAC-seq on 60K FACS-purified gonadal cells before and after sex determination to map nucleosome depleted regions (NDRs) indicative of regulatory elements. We then selected 16 putative enhancers present in Sertoli cells. To determine whether these are active enhancers, we performed ChIP-seq for H3K27ac, a histone modification that marks active enhancers. Transient transgenics was performed on select enhancers to determine whether they drive Sertoli-specific expression in vivo. Finally, we selected a single active Sertoli-specific enhancer to delete with CRISPR. Results: We identified a single enhancer upstream of Sox9 that causes complete male-to-female sex reversal in mice when deleted. Conclusions: Our study is the first to identify a single enhacer supstream of Sox9 which drives Sertoli-specific expression in vivo and causes complete male-to-female sex reversal when deleted in the mouse. Furthermore, this enhancer overlaps a region in humans (XY SR) associated to DSDs.

Project description:Sex reversal of orange-spotted grouper
Project description:Cdyl deficient mice exhibited partial sex reversal. To determine this cause, RNA-seq was used to identify genes with altered expression in Cdyl deficient gonads.
