Project description:single-cell Gene expression signatures in gastric tissues of sstr2 knockout and wild type mice using Chromium’s 10x single-cell RNA-seq platform
Project description:ING1b and GADD45a are nuclear proteins involved in the regulation of cell growth, apoptosis and DNA repair. We previously found that ING1b is essential to target GADD45a-mediated active DNA-demethylation via TET1 to specific loci. In order to study the physiological impact of ING1-GADD45a on DNA methylation in base-resolution genome-wide, we compared the methylation levels of wildtype mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) with Ing1/Gadd45a double-knockout MEFs via whole genome bisulfite sequencing.
Project description:We report the function of Pten in regulating the cardiomyocyte differentiation, and then we performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing for the wild-type and Pten knockout embryoid bodies and cardiomyocytes to analyse the methylomes. The results showed a significant difference between wild-type and Pten knockout groups in methylomes, and we performed a series of experiments to study the function of Pten in cardiogenesis.
