Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE28141: Genome-wide analysis of REST knockdown responsive gene expression in mouse ES cells GSE28233: Genome-wide maps of REST and its cofactors in mouse E14 cells Refer to individual Series
Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for REST and its cofactors genome wide binding sites in E14 cells.We then combine these binding sirtes with REST regulating gene profiling, to understand REST binding and regulation in E14 cells.

Examination of REST and 5 cofactors(RCOR1, RCOR2,RCOR3,SIN3A,SIN3B) in E14 cells, REST and SIN3A endogenous antibody were used for ChIP experiment. The stable E14 cells expressing low level exogenous RCOR1, RCOR2, RCOR3,and SIN3B with V5 tag were used for ChIP experiment with V5 antibody to obtain individual ChIP DNA.
Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.
