Project description:To determine the relative gene expression profile in the lens tissue, total RNA extracted from the neonatal (P7) and adult (P60) mouse lenses were subjected to cDNA microarray analysis using the Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 array. The expressed genes were annotated and organized them from their relative high to low expression. The genetic background of mouse strain used was C57/BL6.
Project description:The evaluation of mycotoxicity of type B trichothecenes using a yeast gene expression comparison analysis. The yeast BY4743 derivative PDR5 mutant was used for this study. The yeast cells were treated with trichothecene mycotoxins, and incubated at 25 degree for two hours, respectively. Total RNA was isolated with commercial kit (FastRNA Pro Red kit, Q-Biogene), and amplified RNA (aRNA) was synthesized with 3'IVT Express kit (Affymetrix). All samples were hybridized with Gene Chip (Yeast Genome 2.0 Array, Affymetrix), then each array chip was scanned by GeneChip Sanner 3000 (Affymetrix).
Project description:The evaluation of zymolyase treatment using yeast gene expression comparison analysis. The yeast BY4743 strain was used for this study. Yeast cells were treated with Zymolyase (final conc. 300 U/ml), and incubated at 37 degree for ten minutes. Digestion process was not provided for control sample. Total RNA was isolated with commercial kit (FastRNA Pro Red kit, Q-Biogene), and amplified RNA (aRNA) was synthesized with 3'IVT Express kit (Affymetrix). All samples were hybridized with Gene Chip (Yeast Genome 2.0 Array, Affymetrix), then each array chip was scanned by GeneChip Sanner 3000 (Affymetrix).
Project description:Data analysis is a critical part of quantitative proteomics studies in interpreting biological questions. Numerous computational tools including protein quantification, imputation, and differential expression (DE) analysis were generated in the past decade. However, searching optimized tools is still an unsolved issue. Moreover, due to the rapid development of RNA-Seq technology, a vast number of DE analysis methods are created. Applying these newly developed RNA-Seq-oriented tools to proteomics data is still a question that needs to be addressed. In order to benchmark these analysis methods, a proteomics dataset constituted the proteins derived from human, yeast, and drosophila with different ratios were generated. Based on this dataset, DE analysis tools (including array-based and RNA-Seq based), imputation algorithms, and protein quantification methods were compared and benchmarked. This study provided useful information on analyzing quantitative proteomics datasets. All the methods used in this study were integrated into Perseus which are available at https://www.maxquant.org/perseus.
Project description:whole genome analysis of RNA pol II and histone H3 in WT and Spt6-depleted cells using a tetracycline regulated ts degron mutant, spt6-td. ChIP-seq of histone H3and pol II in budding yeast (W303 background)
Project description:Total RNA was isolated from epithelial tissues of different grades and stages of human breast cancer samples using mirVana kit and RNA integrity number (RIN) was determined in Agilent Bioanalyzer (2100) to assess the suitability for microarray assays. Sixteen samples were individually analyzed using miRCURY™ LNA arrays version 11.0 (Exiqon, Denmark). The LNA array slides were scanned using Agilent G2565BA Microarray Scanner System (Agilent Technologies, Inc., USA) and image analysis was carried out using ImaGene 8.0 software (BioDiscovery, Inc., USA). The quantified signals were background corrected (Normexp with offset value 10 14 and normalized using global Lowess (Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing) regression algorithm.
