Project description:We analyzed samples from fourteen deaf individuals (Affected 1 through 14), fifteen hearing maternally related family members (Unaffected 1-15), six marry-in controls (Controls 1-6) from extended pedigree from Arab-Israeli village, and nine individuals from another Arab-Israeli village (Controls 7-15). All affected and unaffected maternally-related individuals carry homoplasmic mutation in the 12S rRNA gene of the mitochondrial DNA, associated with both non-syndromic and aminoglycosides-induced deafness. Keywords: Comparison of genome-wide expression in cell lines of maternally-related individuals with mitochondrial mutation and controls carrying wild-type mitochondrial chromosome.
Project description:HUVECs were transduced with lentiviral vIRF1 or control lentivirus (pHAGE),microarray-based miRNA expression profiling was adopted and identified a set of miRNAs that were differentially expressed between vIRF1- and pHAGE-transduced HUVECs
Project description:By using Hoechst staining techniques, we have previously shown that the C2C12 myogenic cell line contains a Side Population (SP) (Benchaouir et al, Exp Cell res, 2004) which is largely increased in the presence of FGF6 (Israeli et al, J Cellular Physiol, 2004). The experiment, compared transcriptional profiles from SP and MP (Main Population) cells from either C2C12 or FGF6-expressing C2C12.
Project description:Genomic material isolated from purified phage YerA41 lysate was shown to contain RNA. YerA41 phage lysate was RNase treated to remove phage-external RNA and total RNA was then isolated from the phage preparate using Qiagen Rneasy mini kit. The isolated RNA was sequenced to elucidate its origin. The results suggested that the RNA originated from intact ribosomes of the host bacterium that contaminated the phage lysate.
