Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Listeria monocytogenes LO28 delta-lhrC1-5 mutant, compared to the wild type strain. The lhrC1-5 genes encode the regulatory sRNAs LhrC1-5. The microarray studied the gene expression of unstressed cells and cells exposed to cefuroxime for 30 min. The lhrC1-5 mutant employed in this study is further described in Sievers et al. (2014) A multicopy sRNA of Listeria monocytogenes regulates expression of the virulence adhesin LapB. Nucleic Acids Res. 42:9383-98.
Project description:RNA-seq samples from 3 species across a differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells to neural progenitor cells were generated to study gene expression evolution. Briefly, previously generated urinary stem cell derived iPSCs of 3 human (Homo sapiens) individuals (3 clones), 1 gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) individual and fibroblast derived cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) iPSCs of 2 individuals (4 clones) (Geuder et al. 2021) were differentiated to neural progenitor cells via dual-SMAD inhibition as three-dimensional aggregation culture (Chambers et al. 2009; Ohnuki et al. 2014). Bulk RNA-seq libraries of iPSCs and NPCs were generated using prime-seq protocol (Janjic et al. 2022).
Project description:ATAC-seq samples from 2 species and 2 cell types were generated to study cis-regulatory element evolution. Briefly, previously generated urinary stem cell derived iPS-cells (Homo sapiens) of 2 human individuals and fibroblast derived cynomolgus macaque iPSCs (Macaca fascicularis) of 2 individuals (Geuder et al. 2021) were differentiated to neural progenitor cells via dual-SMAD inhibition as three-dimensional aggregation culture (Chambers et al. 2009; Ohnuki et al. 2014). The NPC lines were cultured in NPC proliferation medium and passaged 2 - 4 times until they were dissociated and subjected to ATAC-seq together with the respective iPSC clones. ATAC-seq libraries were generated using the Omni-ATAC protocol (Corces et al. 2017) with minor modifications.
