Project description:The C. elegans homolog of the Evi1 proto-oncogene, egl-43, coordinates G1 cell cycle arrest with pro-invasive gene expression during anchor cell invasion by regulating the expression of fos-1, and lin-12.
Project description:Expression profiling of C. elegans mid-L3 larvae to identify high-expressed and low-expressed subsets of genes in C. elegans L3 larvae.
Project description:To identify genes whose expression in Caenorhabditis elegans is regulated by unc-43/CamKII or egl-8/PLCbeta during adulthood, we performed an exploratory whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) study on unc-43(gf), unc-43(-), egl-8(-) and corresponding unc-43(+)/egl-8(+) control worms. To further account for potential influences of genetic background on unc-43/egl-8 function, these experiments were conducted in long-lived insulin-receptor defective [daf-2(-)], as well as in otherwise wildtype [i.e daf-2(+)] strains.
Project description:To identify genes differentially expressed during L3 lethargus, we collected RNA during the third larval stage (L3) lethargus period, 37 hours after feeding developmentally-arrested L1 animals. Animals in lethargus were identified based on quiescence of locomotion and feeding. Additional time point for RNA collection was in the mid-L3 stage, 32 hours after feeding developmentally-arrested L1 animals. These samples were interrogated with the Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array. A total of 153 gene transcripts were up regulated, and 48 gene transcripts were down regulated, during the L3 lethargus period compared to the L3 stage (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05).
Project description:We performed RNA-seq analysis of WT and blmp-1(tm548) mutant L3 larvae to identify genes regulated by the zing-finger transcription factor BLMP-1.

There were 2 groups and 3x replication for each group, for 6 total samples. The groups were (1) L3 and (2) L3-lethargus. We compared L3-lethargus vs L3 using R/maanova. The permutation based p-values for each test were significant for FDRM-bM-^IM-$5%.
Project description:modENCODE_submission_3159 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Michael Snyder. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: We are identifying the DNA binding sites for 300 transcription factors in C. elegans. Each transcription factor gene is tagged with the same GFP fusion protein, permitting validation of the gene's correct spatio-temporal expression pattern in transgenic animals. Chromatin immunoprecipitation on each strain is peformed using an anti-GFP antibody, and any bound DNA is deep-sequenced using Solexa GA2 technology. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf EXPERIMENT TYPE: CHIP-seq.
