Project description:Paramecium cells in stationary phase were treated for deciliation and total mRNA extracted at two time points (45 and 130 minutes) after deciliation. Keywords: Time course analysis of expression during reciliation
Project description:Paramecium cells in log-phase growth were treated for deciliation and total mRNA extracted at two time points after deciliation. This is usefull to study genes involved in cilia biogenesis. Time points are : T0 : mRNA extracted before deciliation. T30 : mRNA extracted 30 minutes after deciliation. T120 : mRNA extracted 120 minutes after deciliation.
Project description:Paramecium cells possess a few thousand trichocysts (big secretory granules of 3~4 um long) docked at their surface and whose discharge in the external medium can be triggered using aminoethyldextran (a modified dextran positively charged) without damage to the cells. After discharge, new trichocysts are re-synthesized by the cells. We studied the evolution of the transcriptome during this synthesis.
Project description:Paramecium cells in stationary phase were treated for deciliation and total mRNA extracted at two time points (45 and 130 minutes) after deciliation. Keywords: Time course analysis of expression during reciliation Experimental design has two biological replications for the 45 and 130 minutes time points and only one sample for the reference (T0) time point.
