Project description:An Infinium microarray platform (GPL28271, HorvathMammalMethylChip40) was used to generate DNA methylation data from many tissues of the naked mole rat We generated DNA methylation data from n=289 tissues. All tissues except for skin biopsies and blood were obtained from frozen tissue collection that were euthanized for other studies. Skin biopsies (2 mm punch) were collected from the backs of the animals under local anesthesia. Blood samples were collected from the tails. The n=3 induced pluripotent stem cells from NMR were generated as described in (Tan et al 2017., PMID: 29107597). As control set for the iPS study, we used n=3 fibroblasts samples. Genomic DNA was extracted using Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue kit and quantified using Nanodrop and Qubit.als
Project description:Deep sequencing of mRNA from naked mole rat Analysis of ploy(A)+ RNA of different specimens: brain, kidney, liver from new born , 4 years old , 20 years old and 4 years old hypoxia-exposed naked mole rat
Project description:The goal of this analysis is to compare the transcriptome profile (RNA-seq) along different developmental ages in the naked mole rat ovary
Project description:Heathly naked mole-rats kept under normal housing conditions harbor either a small or enlarged spleen. The aim of the study is to compare RNAseq of naked mole-rat (NM-R) small and enlarged spleens between them and to compare them with RNAseq of mouse spleen.
Project description:An Infinium microarray platform (GPL28271, HorvathMammalMethylChip40) was used to generate DNA methylation data from many tissues of 3 species of mole rats: Cape mole rat (Georychus capensis), Damaraland mole rat (Cryptomys damarensis), Naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber). We generated DNA methylation data from n=94 tissues from 3 species: Cryptomys damarensis (n=10), Georychus capensis (n=6), Heterocephalus glaber (n=78). All tissues ewere obtained from frozen tissue collection that were euthanized for other studies. Kidney (n=6), liver (n=61), skin (n=27). The tissues used in this study were obtained from post-mortem specimens from animals free from disease in compliance. Sample collection was from post-mortem material. Tissue samples were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen following dissection and transferred for storage at -80ºC. Genomic DNA was extracted using Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue kit and quantified using Nanodrop and Qubit.als
Project description:This study compares the transcriptional response to hypoxia in liver of the hypoxia-tolerant naked mole rat (NMR) and the hypoxia-sensitive rat.
