Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE26707: Zebrafish 27hpf embryos: hdac1 mutant (hi1618) vs sibling GSE26708: Zebrafish embryos: hdac1 Morphants vs Standard control morphants GSE26709: Zebrafish embryos: hdac1 Morphants vs Standard control morphants at 12, 18 and 27 hpf Refer to individual Series
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of hdac1 mutant zebrafish in comparison to their sibling embryos. Embryos resulting from a cross between heterozygous hdac1 mutant zebrafish (hi1618/+) where cultured together then mutants separated from the siblings one the basis of phenotype and RNA extracted from the two groups at 27hpf was compared in a two-colour hybridisation. Two-condition experiment, hdac1 mutants vs. sibling. Biological replicates: 2 (separate mating) Technical replicates: 4 (2 of which are dye-swap)
Project description:The exon junction complex (EJC) is composed of three core proteins Rbm8a, Magoh and Eif4a3 and is thought to play a role in several post-transcriptional processes. In this study we focus on understanding the role of EJC in zebrafish development. We identified transcriptome-wide binding sites of EJC in zebrafish via RNA:protein immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (RIP-Seq). We find that, as in human cells, zebrafish EJC is deposited about 24 nts upstream of exon-exon junctions. We also identify transcripts regulated by Rbm8a and Magoh in zebrafish embryos using whole embryo RNA-seq from rbm8a mutant, magoh mutant and wild-type sibling embryos. This study shows that nonsense mediated mRNA decay is dysregulated in zebrafish EJC mutants.
