Project description:Objectives: To determine the transcripts that are differentially expressed in a hfq mutant. Hfq is an RNA chaperone that mediates many interactions between regultory RNAs and their mRNA targets. Analysis of the transcriptomes of the Pasteurella multocida wild-type strain and the Pasteurella multocida hfq mutant will allow for identification of genes controlled by hfq and the sRNAs with which it interacts. Methods: RNA sequencing was employed to determine the transcriptomes of a wild-type Pasteurella multocida strain and a hfq mutant strain. Comparison of these two transcriptomes allows for determination of differentially expressed genes and therefore those genes controlled by Hfq and sRNAs with which it interacts.

Project description:In this study we investigate and compare DEGs of K. aerogenes macrocolonies during temperature entrainment (12:12, 35°C:36°C) and subsequent free running conditions (35°C). The goal of this experiment was to identify rhythmically expressed genes in K. aerogenes, the first human gut commensal bacterium with described circadian clock (Paulose et al. 2016). K. aerogenes circadian clock is sensitive to temperature entrainment (Paulose et al. 2019). To further investigate this temperature entrainment of K. aerogenes we performed RNA sequencing experiment. We identified 48 differentially expressed genes when comparing timepoints ZT6 to ZT18, 427 differentially expressed genes when comparing timepoints ZT6 to CT6, 6 differentially expressed genes between timepoints CT6 and CT18, and 2 differentially expressed genes between timepoints ZT18 and CT18.
