Project description:Flavonoid is an important secondary metabolite, which makes an important contribution to plant resistance to abiotic stress and human health. Fagopyrum tataricum (Tartary buckwheat) itself contains more flavonoids, so exploring the regulation of Tartary buckwheat flavonoid synthesis can provide a solid theoretical basis for the cultivation of new Tartary buckwheat varieties with high nutrition. In this paper, we studied the role of FtMYBs in regulating the biosynthesis of flavonoids in Tartary buckwheat.
Project description:Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia of Down syndrome (DS-AMKL) is a model of clonal evolution from a preleukemic transient myeloproliferative disorder requiring both a trisomy 21 (T21) and a GATA1s mutation to a leukemia driven by additional driver mutations. We modelled this leukemic evolution through stepwise gene editing of GATA1s, SMC3+/- and MPLW515K providing 20 different trisomy or disomy 21 iPSC clones. Cut&Tag against GATA1 was performed on CD41+CD42+ megakaryocytes obtained after 18 days of differentiation of the IPSC clones. 500,000 CD41+CD42+ MK sorted cells were used to analyze GATA1 and GATA1s chromatin occupancy using the CUT&Tag-IT Assay Kit (Active Motif) according to the manufacturer recommendations. Briefly, cells were bound to Concanavalin A-Coated Beads and incubated with primary anti-GATA1 antibody in buffer with Protease Inhibitor Cocktail and 5% digitonine overnight at 4°C under rotation. The Guinea Pig anti-rabbit secondary antibody was incubated in Dig-Wash buffer for 1 hour at RT under rotation. After 3 washes, the CUT&Tag-IT™ Assembled pA-Tn5 Transposomes (1:100) were added for 1 hour at RT under rotation and tagmentation was performed during 1 hour at 37°C. DNA was purified and libraries were generated by PCR. The final libraries were purified, pooled together in equal concentrations and subjected to paired-end sequencing (100 cycles: 2x50) in Novaseq-6000 sequencer (Illumina) at Gustave Roussy.
