Project description:Nitrate-reducing iron(II)-oxidizing bacteria are widespread in the environment contribute to nitrate removal and influence the fate of the greenhouse gases nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. The autotrophic growth of nitrate-reducing iron(II)-oxidizing bacteria is rarely investigated and poorly understood. The most prominent model system for this type of studies is enrichment culture KS, which originates from a freshwater sediment in Bremen, Germany. To gain insights in the metabolism of nitrate reduction coupled to iron(II) oxidation under in the absence of organic carbon and oxygen limited conditions, we performed metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic analyses of culture KS. Raw sequencing data of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenomics (short reads: Illumina; long reads: Oxford Nanopore Technologies), metagenome assembly, raw sequencing data of shotgun metatranscriptomes (2 conditions, triplicates) can be found at SRA in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA682552. This dataset contains proteomics data for 2 conditions (heterotrophic and autotrophic growth conditions) in triplicates.
Project description:Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) technologies have led to important improvement in the detection of new or unrecognized infective agents, related to infectious diseases. In this context, NGS high-throughput technology can be used to achieve a comprehensive and unbiased sequencing of the nucleic acids present in a clinical sample (i.e. tissues). Metagenomic shotgun sequencing has emerged as powerful high-throughput approaches to analyze and survey microbial composition in the field of infectious diseases. By directly sequencing millions of nucleic acid molecules in a sample and matching the sequences to those available in databases, pathogens of an infectious disease can be inferred. Despite the large amount of metagenomic shotgun data produced, there is a lack of a comprehensive and easy-use pipeline for data analysis that avoid annoying and complicated bioinformatics steps. Here we present HOME-BIO, a modular and exhaustive pipeline for analysis of biological entity estimation, specific designed for shotgun sequenced clinical samples. HOME-BIO analysis provides comprehensive taxonomy classification by querying different source database and carry out main steps in metagenomic investigation. HOME-BIO is a powerful tool in the hand of biologist without computational experience, which are focused on metagenomic analysis. Its easy-to-use intrinsic characteristic allows users to simply import raw sequenced reads file and obtain taxonomy profile of their samples.

Project description:Human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs) and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) grown for 35 days on laminin-coated coverslips, a stiff matrix, were enzymatically dissociated, replated on laminin-coated coverslips and grown for further 2 days. Gene expression was compared with controls grown for 37 days on laminin-coated coverslips. Total RNA was isolated and gene expression was analyzed by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) on an Illumina NextSeq 550 sequencer using a High Output Flowcell for single reads (20024906; Illumina). Gene enrichment analysis based on RNA-Seq data of hESC-CMs replated for 2 days as compared with 37 days old controls was performed by using the comprehensive gene set enrichment analysis tool Enrichr for pathway analysis with KEGG Pathways 2019 Human, as well as for Gene Ontology (GO) analysis with GO Cellular Component 2018, GO Molecular Function 2018, and GO Biological Process 2018. Gene enrichment was also analyzed by Ingenuity Pathway analysis (IPA, Qiagen), especially Canonical Pathways analysis. Gene enrichment analysis revealed changes in the gene expression profile, especially of mechanosensation/-transduction-related genes and pathways in replated hESC-CMs.
Project description:Total RNA was extracted from WT or KO liver tumor tissues. RNA samples were analyzed by RNA sequencing based on the manufacturer’s protocols. Briefly, Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform was used to sequence the RNA samples for the subsequent generation of raw data. KEGG pathway and GSEA enrichment analysis were used for functional pathway analysis.
Project description:Whole exome sequencing of 5 HCLc tumor-germline pairs. Genomic DNA from HCLc tumor cells and T-cells for germline was used. Whole exome enrichment was performed with either Agilent SureSelect (50Mb, samples S3G/T, S5G/T, S9G/T) or Roche Nimblegen (44.1Mb, samples S4G/T and S6G/T). The resulting exome libraries were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq platform with paired-end 100bp reads to an average depth of 120-134x. Bam files were generated using NovoalignMPI (v3.0) to align the raw fastq files to the reference genome sequence (hg19) and picard tools (v1.34) to flag duplicate reads (optical or pcr), unmapped reads, reads mapping to more than one location, and reads failing vendor QC.
Project description:Our objective was to identify genes differentially expressed between control and Ezh2 cKO decidua, and to compare this set of genes with a previously identified gene set of H3K27me3-marked decidual genes that are putatively silenced by EZH2/PRC2 (Nancy et al. JCI. 2018). RNA was isolated from whole tissue decidua and myometrium of control and Ezh2 cKO mice. Sequencing provided was 731 million total reads with an average of 84.5% of these reads aligning uniquely to the mouse genome. Reads uniquely mapped to known mRNAs were used to identify gene expression changes between housing conditions using DESeq2. We found that 2530 protein-coding genes were differentially expressed within the decidua and 521 were differentially expressed in the myometrium (FDR<0.05, excluding genes whose normalized read counts were less than 30 averaged across samples). Hypergeometric analysis revealed a strong enrichment for previously identified H3K27me3 targets within genes overexpressed in Ezh2 cKO decidua.
