Project description:This is an oligonucleotide-based proof-of-concept study for a method to detect 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) in a single base-resolution on NGS platform. The method will be useful to identify the effect of 5hmU to genome functions.
Project description:Treatment refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a major clinical challenge. Drug-free remission is uncommon but provides proof-of-concept that articular immune-homeostasis can be reinstated. In this project, we used single-cell RNA- to study the role of synovial tissue macrophages in maintaining disease remission. We have sequenced synovial tissue macrophages from individuals with healthy synovium (as evaluated by MRI), patients with undifferentiated arthritis (UPA), RA patients naïve to treatment, RA patients resistant to treatment and RA patients in disease remission
Project description:Proof-of-concept of a new method involving the limited digestion and subsequent ligation of intramolecular RNA structures in situ followed by deep sequencing Proof-of-concept of RPL in S. cerevisiae and H. sapiens tissue culture
