Project description:Genome editing was conducted on a t(3;8) K562 model to investigate the effects of deleting different modules or CTCF binding sites within the MYC super-enhancer. To check mutations after targeting with CRISPR-Cas9 we performed amplicon sequencing using the Illumina PCR-based custom amplicon sequencing method using the TruSeq Custom Amplicon index kit (Illumina). The first PCR was performed using Q5 polymerase (NEB), the second nested PCR with KAPA HiFi HotStart Ready mix (Roche). Samples were sequenced paired-end (2x 250bp) on a MiSeq (Illumina).
Project description:Amplicon-based targeted re-sequencing analysis was performed in the patient-derived gliobastoma cell culture samples. For this purpose, genomic DNA (gDNA) was isolated and DNA libraries were prepared using the TruSeq Custom Amplicon Low Input (Illumina, Inc.) technology. By this, a pool of 375 amplicons was generated for each single sample in order to enrich for the target genes ATRX1, EGFR, IDH1, NF1, PDGFRA, PIK3CG, PIK3R1, PTEN, RB1 and TP53. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina MiSeq® next generation sequencing system (Illumina Inc.) and its 2 x 250 bp paired-end v2 read chemistry. The resulting reads were quality controlled and mapped against the human reference genome (hg19). For all samples, sequence variations of the amplified regions of interest in comparison to the human reference sequence were identified and filtered based on reliability.
Project description:The study critically evaluate the results of 16S targeted amplicon sequencing performed on the total DNA collected from healthy donors’ blood samples in the light of specific negative controls.
Project description:Combined targeted amplicon sequencing and DNA methylation analysis of a defined cohort of Adult Glioma patients was performed on primary and matching recurrent tumour samples to investigate tumour evolution.
Project description:Type II Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (Type II EATL) is an aggressive intestinal T-cell lymphoma with poor prognosis and has not been molecularly profiled. Through targeted amplicon sequencing, we identified a large portion of Type II EATL samples that harbor mutations in the STAT5B, JAK3 and GNAI2 genes. Genome-wide DNA copy number profiling of Type II EATL tumors and matched normal samples was performed to determine copy-number changes in this disease.
Project description:The gut microbiome is known to be sensitive to changes in the immune system, especially during autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Our study examines the changes to the gut microbiome that occur during Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for MS. We collected fecal samples at key stages of EAE progression and quantified microbial abundances with 16S V4 amplicon sequencing. Our analysis of the data suggests that commensal Lactobacillaceae fall in abundance during EAE while other commensal populations belonging to the Clostridiaceae, Ruminococcaceae, and Peptostreptococcaceae families expand. Community analysis with microbial co-occurrence networks points to these three taxa as mediators of gut microbiome dysbiosis. We also employed PICRUSt2 to impute MetaCyc Enzyme Consortium (EC) pathway abundances from the original microbial abundance data. From this analysis, we found that a number of imputed EC pathways responsible for the production of compounds with indole groups are enriched in mice undergoing EAE. Our analysis and interpretation of results provides a detailed picture of the changes to the gut microbiome that are occurring throughout the course of EAE disease progression.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of different HCC subtypes through next generation sequencing and metabolome analysis.The samples for transcriptome sequencing were collected from 60 cases of HCC, 30 of which were also used for whole exome sequencing and LC-MS/MS.
Project description:Analysis of Cas9/sgRNA mutagenic activity at a variety of loci in zebrafish. Each loci has a control, where no Cas9/sgRNA were injected. This is amplicon sequencing with Illumina, after PCR amplification. Data was processed with ampliCan R package version 1.1.1.
