Project description:Thermococcus kodakarensis is a thermophilic archaea used in this study to determine how changes in growth temperature affect protein expression. This organism was chosen, in part, due to the simplified proteome and potential protein stability gained when analyzing proteins at room temperature. Two temperatures were used as well as one knockout cell line to determine the differences in protein expression. Specifically, changes in protein expression levels were used in conjunction with other data to determine the changing levels of RNA modification based on expression temperature.
Project description:As part of collaboration between UCLA and CHDI, UCLA is creating knockouts (KOs) of 123 genes, implicated in Huntington’s disease (HD) through various computational modeling efforts. Striatum and cortex were isolated from 6-month-old Mlh1+/- mice crossed with the Q140 knock-in (KI) HD mice and their respective controls. Transcriptomic analysis (RNASeq) was performed on 4 genotypes: WT, Mlh1+/-, Q140, and Q140 X Mlh1+/-, 8 replicates per genotype.

Project description:As part of collaboration between UCLA and CHDI, UCLA is creating knockouts (KOs) of 123 genes, implicated in Huntington’s disease (HD) through various computational modeling efforts. Striatum and cortex were isolated from 6-month-old Polq+/- mice crossed with the Q140 knock-in (KI) HD mice and their respective controls. Transcriptomic analysis (RNASeq) was performed on 4 genotypes: WT, Polq+/-, Q140, and Q140 X Polq+/-, 8 replicates per genotype.
Project description:Total RNAs were isolated from the thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius MW001 and subjected to Illumina sequencing. A differential gene expression analysis was performed to identify ncRNA in biofilm- associated cells and planktonically grown cells. Additionally, the small RNA subpopulation of the transcriptome was subjected to RNaseR digestion prior to Illumina sequencing. An abundant double-stranded RNA was identified.
Project description:As part of collaboration between UCLA and CHDI, UCLA is creating knockouts (KOs) of 123 genes, implicated in Huntington’s disease (HD) through various computational modeling efforts. Striatum was isolated from 12-month-old Msh3+/- mice and Msh3-/- (KO) crossed with the Q140 knock-in (KI) HD mice and their respective controls. Transcriptomic analysis (RNASeq) was performed on 6 genotypes: WT, Msh3+/-, Msh3-/-, Q140, Q140 X Msh3+/- and Q140 X Msh3-/-, 8 replicates per genotype.
