Project description:High-resolution transcriptional profiling of E. coli across nine timepoints of growth in rich media (LB). Samples collected from lag phase to stationary phase of growth. High-resolution tiling array to detect conditional operon isoforms. Custom Agilent array designed to detect condition-specific transcriptional isoforms. Array designed for E coli K12 MG1655 genome. Tiled using 23bp sliding window. Includes >10,000 probes surrounding predicted operon break sites at 6 bp resolution.
Project description:The aim of this study is to investigate the changes of global gene expression in E. coli during a carbon source shift. Expression profiling of an evolved strain of E. coli K12 MG1655 grown in M9 minimal media supplemented with propylene glycol or glycerol.
Project description:We generated four strains of Escherichia coli K12 MG1655 with distinct proton motive force generation potential and performed the adaptive laboratory evolution of these strains to study how the system adapts to the loss of alternate electron transfer pathways of the Electron Transport System. RNA-Seq was performed to examine the underlying transcriptional rewiring.
Project description:Mature tRNA pools were measured using an adaptation of YAMAT-seq (Shigematsu et al., 2017; doi:10.1093/nar/gkx005 ) and further described in (Ayan et al., 2020; doi:10.7554/eLife.57947) in 10 strain-medium combinations (all strains dervied from the model bacterium E. coli MG1655). The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effect of reducing tRNA gene copy number on mature tRNA pools in rich and poor media.
