Project description:Purpose: A method for mapping chromatin accessibility genome-wide, to reveal chromatin accessibility in Intestinal stem cells. Methods: Intestinal stem cells(Lgr5-high cells) were sorted by flow cytometry from wild type mice. The samples were prepared in duplicate. HISAT2 was used to align the sequences to the mouse genome and generate bam files. bamCoverage was used to generate bigwig files from bam files. MACS2 (v2.2.5) was used for peak calling and to generate bed files from aligned reads. Conclusions: ATAC-seq analysis confirmed that Fosb binding sites in Chip-seq assay were correlated with the chromatin accessibility .
Project description:Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of tongue cancer samples and cell line was performed to identify the fusion gene translocation breakpoint. WGS raw data was aligned to human reference genome (GRCh38.p12) using BWA-MEM (v0.7.17). The BAM files generated were further analysed using SvABA (v1.1.3) tool to identify translocation breakpoints. The translocation breakpoints were annotated using custom scripts, using the reference GENCODE GTF (v30). The fusion breakpoints identified in the SvABA analysis were additionally confirmed using MANTA tool (v1.6.0).
Project description:Purpose: A method for identifying genome-wide DNA binding sites for Fosb. Methods: Alive cells were sorted from retro-Fosb-OE(over-expression) organoids. The samples were incubated with anti-Fosb antibody (Abcam, ab184938). Purified DNA was subjected to Tru-seq library construction using NEBNext Ultra II DNA Library Prep Kit and sequenced as paired-end with Illumina Novaseq 6000. HISAT2 was used to align the sequences to the mouse genome and generate bam files. bamCoverage (CPM normalized and extended reads) was used to generate bigwig files from bam files. MACS2 was used for peak calling and to generate bed files from aligned reads. HOMER annotatePeaks.pl was used to annotate the peaks. Conclusions: Target genes of Fosb through ChIP assay were consistent with predicted target genes. Thus, we concluded that Fosb, which is a key TF could regulate most of ISC signature genes to maintain Lgr5+ ISCs.
Project description:Gene expression was quanitified in 4 naive corneas from BALB/c and 4 corneas from C57BL/6N mice without intervention by RNAseq of total RNA with the Ovation Kit for model organisms. To avoid false positive differential expression from better alignment of the reads from C57BL/6 mice to the reference representing a closely related strain while retaining the applicability of the standard reference genome annotation, two pseudogenomes were generated incorporating the known variants into the reference and aligning to the resulting genomes. BAM files were then converted with Lapels to the standard reference, which includes conversion of genome coordinates and adjusting CIGAR strings. Then expression quantification is possible with respect to the standard gene model (here Ensembl version 94) again.
Project description:Whole exome sequencing of 5 HCLc tumor-germline pairs. Genomic DNA from HCLc tumor cells and T-cells for germline was used. Whole exome enrichment was performed with either Agilent SureSelect (50Mb, samples S3G/T, S5G/T, S9G/T) or Roche Nimblegen (44.1Mb, samples S4G/T and S6G/T). The resulting exome libraries were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq platform with paired-end 100bp reads to an average depth of 120-134x. Bam files were generated using NovoalignMPI (v3.0) to align the raw fastq files to the reference genome sequence (hg19) and picard tools (v1.34) to flag duplicate reads (optical or pcr), unmapped reads, reads mapping to more than one location, and reads failing vendor QC.
