Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE11580: Time course RA-treatment of B16 mouse melanoma cells GSE11584: Melan-a mouse melanocytes vs. B16 mouse melanoma cells Keywords: SuperSeries Refer to individual Series
Project description:Gene expression profile of melan-a mouse melanocytes vs. B16 mouse melanoma cells. Experiment Overall Design: Balanced block design with dye swap. Six biological replicates, one replicate per array.
Project description:The melan-a cell line is derived from immortalized mouse melanocytes obtained from Ink4a-ARF-/- mice. RNA-seq was performed to assess the global nature of transcript and gene expression profiles in melan-a cells. These RNA-seq data, along with separate ChIP-seq performed in melan-a cells (GSE38498), were used to correlate gene expression patterns with the presence or absence of transcription factors of interest.
Project description:Using ChIP-seq for p300 and H3K4me1, we identified 2,489 putative melanocyte enhancer loci in the mouse genome. We demonstrated that these putative enhancers are evolutionarily constrained, enriched for sequence motifs predicted to bind key melanocyte transcription factors, located near genes relevant to melanocyte biology, and capable of driving reporter gene expression with high frequency in cultured melanocytes and in melanocytes of transgenic zebrafish. ChIP-seq for EP300 and H3K4me1 in the mouse melanocyte cell line melan-a.
