Project description:ChIP followed by deep sequencing was performed with antibodies to ERalpha in U2OS-ERalpha cells treated with 17beta-estradiol. Examination of Eralpha binding sites in U2OS-Eralpha cells. Sequenced input was used as a control
Project description:To further characterize genomic regions previously identified which are linked with meat quality traits like drip loss, PH, conductivity and etc., we employed mRNA-seq experiment on the PiF1 animals used in the tiling array experiments. Total RNA were taken from muscle sample of M. longissimus dorsi of pigs selected from two phenotypic groups graded according to high (HI) and low (LO) drip loss. Muscle mRNA profiles of 12 were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx.
Project description:ORCA is an ORC associated protein that plays important roles in replication initiation as well as heterochromatin organization. We carried out ORCA ChIP-seq in U2OS cells synchronized at different stage of G1 phase to determine its genome wide localization. To understand the genomic features of ORCA binding regions, we also carried out Methylated DNA IP (MeDIP) followed by deep sequencing in U2OS cells to determine the genome wide localizatoin of methyl-CpG sites in U2OS cells and how ORCA bidning regions co-localize with this important repressive mark.
Project description:Determining the role of DDX17 in the formation of DNA:RNA-hybrids around active DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) using DRIP-seq in the damaged induced via AsiSI (DIvA) cell system that induced DSBs at known genomic loci in response to hydroxytamoxifen (OHT) treatment via and AsiSI enzyme fused to an oestrogen receptor. Sequencing was done using either control or DDX17 siRNA, and mock or 4 hours 300nM OHT treatment. Paired-end 150 cycles was completed on an Illumina NextSeq 500 and library prep was completed using the NEB NEBNext Ultra II library prep kit.
Project description:The human osteosarcoma cell line U2OS contains a functional circadian clock but expresses only a few rhythmic genes. We identified by ChIP-seq analysis 3040 binding sites of the circadian transcription factors BMAL1, CLOCK, and CRY1 in the genome of U2OS cells, comparable to the number found in highly rhythmic tissues like liver. ChIP was performed as described previously (Rey et al, 2011; doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1000595) using confluent desynchronized U2OS cells and BMAL1, CLOCK, and CRY1-antibodies. Immunoprecipitated chromatin (10 ng DNA of 8 independent BMAL1 ChIPs with enrichment levels > 80-fold, 9 ng DNA of a CRY1 ChIP with 10-fold enrichment, and 8 ng DNA of a CLOCK ChIP with 40-fold enrichment) was used for library preparation. Three lanes of the BMAL1 library, and one lane each of the CRY1 and CLOCK library were sequenced on the Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx using Single-Read Cluster Generation Kit and 36 Cycle Sequencing Kit v2 (Lausanne Genomics Technologies Facility).
