Project description:We report the RRBS-based cerebellum DNA methylation profiling of essential tremor (ET) patients and controls. By obtaining over thirty billion bases of sequence from bisulfited-converted DNA, we generated genome-wide methylation profile of human cerebellum tissue. We identified differential DNA methylation patterns in 735 genes at various gene parts, across 12 ET patients. Many of those differentially methylated CpGs in ET patients are located in upstream regulatory regions of genes. We further found that many differentially methylated genes in ET pateints are associated with neurodegenerative disease. This study provided a framework towards understanding epigenetic alteration in cerebellum of essnetial tremor patients.
Project description:RNA-seq evaluation of post-mortem human cerebelllum from 33 patients with diagnosed Essential tremor, compared to 22 age-matched control patients. Two samples were under-sequenced and therefore removed from the final analysis. The raw data has been included in this submission.
Project description:We report RNA sequencing of overexpressed STK32B in DAOY cells compared to matched controls, with 200M reads per sample. We identified approximately 4000 differentially expressed genes and potential pathways relevant to essential tremor.
