Project description:Differential EC enrichment of pan-AcH4 was assessed at 34 select genes, including 19 EC-enriched genes, 6 broadly expressed genes, and 9 EC-excluded genes, by pan-AcH4 (AcH4K5, AcH4K8, AcH4K12, and AcH4K16) ChIP-chip analysis on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (HuAoVSMCs) with a high resolution tiling DNA microarray. Specifically, the tiling array analyzes the 50 kb genomic region upstream of transcription initiation, the intragenic regions , and 50 kb genomic region downstream of the last exon.
Project description:Differential EC enrichment of pan-AcH3 was assessed at 34 select genes, including 19 EC-enriched genes, 6 broadly expressed genes, and 9 EC-excluded genes, by pan-AcH3 (AcH3K9 and AcH3K14) ChIP-chip analysis on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (HuAoVSMCs) with a high resolution tiling DNA microarray. Specifically, the tiling array analyzes the 50 kb genomic region upstream of transcription initiation, the intragenic regions, and 50 kb genomic region downstream of the last exon.
Project description:41 lung adenocarcinoma from never-smokers hybridized on Illumina SNP arrays on 13 HumanCNV370-Quadv3 chips. High-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization analysis of lung adenocarcinoma in 41 never smokers for identification of new minimal common regions (MCR) of gain or loss. The SNP array analysis validated copy-number aberrations and revealed that RB1 and WRN were altered by recurrent copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity.The present study has uncovered new aberrations containing cancer genes. The oncogene FUS is a candidate gene in the 16p region that is frequently gained in never smokers. Multiple genetic pathways defined by gains of MYC, deletions of RB1 and WRN or gains on 7p and 7q are involved in lung adenocarcinoma in never smokers. A 'Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs' (CIT) project from the French National League Against Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net) 41 samples hybridized on Illumina SNP arrays.

Project description:SPO11-promoted DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) formation is a crucial step for meiotic recombination, and it is indispensable to detect the broken DNA ends accurately for dissecting the molecular mechanisms behind. Here, we report a novel technique, named DEtail-seq (DNA End tailing followed by sequencing), that can directly and quantitatively capture the meiotic DSB 3’ overhang hotspots at single-nucleotide resolution.
Project description:WT (MMY718) and jhd2∆ (MMY1879) sporulating cell cultures were profiled for global nucleosome occupancy using Affymetrix high-resolution tiling arrays.
