Project description:IL-1R-associated kinases (IRAKs) participate in Toll-like receptor (TLR) signal transduction. MALP-2 is a TLR2 ligand, and stimulation of macrophages with MALP-2 activates expression of various genes including proinflammatory cytokines. We used microarrays to examine influence of IRAK-2 or IRAK-1/IRAK-2 deficiency in MALP-2-inducible gene expression. Experiment Overall Design: Peritoneal macrophages from wild-type, IRAK-2-/- and IRAK-1/IRAK-2 mice were stimulated with MALP-2 for 0, 2, 4, and 8 hours, followed by RNA extraction. Then hybridization on affymetrix microarrays was performed.
Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility. Gene expression was measured in whole testis from males aged 62-86 days. Samples include 190 first generation lab-bred male offspring of wild-caught mice from the Mus musculus musculus - M. m. domesticus hybrid zone.

Project description:ATAC-seq profiling of Nfat5 KO and wild type macrophages derived from bone marrow (primary cells), treated or not with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
