Project description:We report the changes in chromatin accessibility associated with regeneration in wing imaginal discs at two developmental timepoints during L3. Wing discs were ablated using tissue-specific expression of the pro-apoptotic gene eiger at an early timepoint (day 7) when the discs retain high regenerative capacity and at a late time point (day 9) when regenerative capacity has significantly declined. ATAC-seq was performed on these discs after 40 hr of ablation and compared to identically staged unablated discs. We detect 14,142 open chromatin peaks after merging overlapping peaks from 3 biological repeats of all 4 conditions. Of these, 349 change significantly (log2fc>0.5, p<0.1) either opening or closing upon damage in early L3 discs, while only 55 open or close in late L3 discs. We describe two consequential groups of peak changes, those that are damage responsive (DR) in early L3 (222 peaks) and those that are maturity silenced (MS), open in early damaged L3 and closed in late damaged L3 (729 peaks). 28 peaks fall in the overlap of these two groups.
Project description:Screening for binding partners of the splicing factor SmD3 and changes in interaction upon depletion of the protein Ecdysoneless (Ecd) in the nubbin domain of third-instar larval wing imaginal discs.
Project description:Investigation of intratumor heterogeneity in the scrib¹ mutant wing imaginal discs. Method: Staged scrib¹ wing imaginal discs were dissected and transferred to DPBS. The wing imaginal discs were dissociated in 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA solution at 37 ℃ for 10 min. Cells were then washed in DPBS and passed through 35μm filter before library preparation. Construction of 10x single cell libraries and sequencing on Illumina platform were performed by Novogene.
Project description:Genotype: FRT82B Method: Staged wild type wing imaginal discs were dissected and transferred to DPBS. The wing imaginal discs were dissociated in 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA solution at 37 ℃ for 10 min. Cells were then washed in DPBS and passed through 35μm filter before library preparation.

Project description:In order to analyze the global changes in gene expression resulting from induction of NetA-Fra signaling, we carried out a microarray experiment comparing Drosophila third instar wing imaginal discs in which Net+Fra had been overexpressed to age matched wild type wing imaginal discs. RNA extracted from both +NetA-Fra overexpression and wildtype third instar imaginal discs were hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0 .

RNA extracted from both +NetA-Fra overexpression and wildtype third instar imaginal discs were hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0 . Heat shock induced GFP-marked clones ectopically expressing NetA+Fra in larvae were generated. Controls for this study included age matched wildtype third instar wing imaginal discs bearing GFP clones which were prepared in the same manner. Total RNA was extracted from dissected +NetA-Fra vs. control third instar wing imaginal discs and hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0.
Project description:We investigated the effect on mRNA expression in Drosophila melanogaster wing imaginal discs following the knockdown of the 3'-5' exoribonuclease Dis3L2.
Project description:We performed a genome-wide ChIP analysis to find the set of target genes regulated by Cbt in Drosophila wing imaginal discs. We reported multiple transcriptional regulators and genes involved in the developlment, growth and patterning of the fruit fly.
