Project description:Ulcerative Colitis is an autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic inflammation in the colon and the rectum. Althoung extensively researched, the underlying molecular mechanisms of Ulcerative Colitis remain elusive. Especially, there is a lack of understanding about regulatory non-coding miRNA expression during Ulcerative Colitis. Therefore, we performed high-throughput miRNA profiling of colon tissue biopsies from XX patients with active Ulcerative Colitis, XX patients with quiescent Ulcerative Colitis and XX Symptomatic Control individuals.
Project description:Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare miRNA expressions of pear in two different conditions.
Project description:We analyze the contribution of alternative splicing to the transcriptional complexity in adipose tissue and the development of diet-induced obesity. We use Next generation sequencing analysis of mice fed with a control chow diet or a high fat diet.
Project description:We analyze the contribution of alternative splicing to the transcriptional complexity in adipose tissue and the development of diet-induced obesity. We use Next generation sequencing analysis of eWAT from control and Nova1 and Nova2-deficient mice fed with a control diet

Project description:Intratumor heterogeneity fosters the evolution of the genome leading to metastatic progress and therapy resistance. Here, we investigate the relative contribution of genomic heterogeneity involving mutations and CNAs as prognostic and predictive determinants for disease recurrence in early-stage colon cancer. We combined targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) and SNP arrays on a retrospective cohort of untreated stage II colon cancer patients to assess the association of genomic subclonality with time to recurrence (TTR).
