Project description:FAN (Factor associated with neutral sphingomyelinase activation) is an adaptor protein that constitutively binds to TNF-R1. Microarray analysis was performed in fibroblasts derived from wild-type or FAN knockout mouse embryos to evaluate the role of FAN in TNF-induced gene expression. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Keywords: genetic modification
Project description:FAN (Factor associated with neutral sphingomyelinase activation) is an adaptor protein that constitutively binds to TNF-R1. Microarray analysis was performed in fibroblasts derived from wild-type or FAN knockout mouse embryos to evaluate the role of FAN in TNF-induced gene expression. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Experiment Overall Design: MEFs were derived from C57BL/6 embryos that were either wild type or FAN-/-. Cells were either grown in DMEM 0%FCS for 24h or DMEM 0% FCS for 8h followed by incubation in DMEM 0% FCS containing 50ng/ml TNF for 16h. These four conditions were each used to generate total RNA (RNeasy MidiKit, Qiagen) which was sent to AROS applied biotechnology (Sweden) for Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array analysis.
Project description:After the wild type strain of Vibrio natriegens ATCC 14048 (BioSample Nr. NCBI: SAMN03178087) was cured from prophages (as described in the material and methods section), the genomes of the resulted strains dvnp1, dvnp2 and vnp12 were sequenced. As a control, the genome of the wild type strain was also prepared and used for sequencing. The aim of the sequencing was to verify the deleted regions and to screen the genome for new mutations.
Project description:ChIP-seq against H3K9me3 using SK-N-MC cell line which was previously described as a neuroepithelioma (ATCC HTB-10). However recent evidence reveals it is Ewing's Sarcoma (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15548687, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/biosample/3151999, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25453903).
