Project description:modENCODE_submission_4082 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Kevin White. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: The White Lab is aiming to map the association of all the Transcription Factors (TF) on the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. One technique that we use for this purpose is chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) utilizing an Illumina next generation sequencing platform. The data generated by ChIP-seq experiments consist basically of a plot of signal intensity across the genome. The highest signals correspond to positions in the genome occupied by the tested TF. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf EXPERIMENT TYPE: CHIP-seq.

Project description:Primary objectives: The primary objective is to investigate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via deep sequencing for mutation detection and by whole genome sequencing for copy number analyses before start (baseline) with regorafenib and at defined time points during administration of regorafenib for treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients in terms of overall survival (OS).

Project description:Over the last 20 years, the advances in sequencing technologies highlighted the unique composition of the salivary glands of blood-feeding arthropods. Further biochemical and structural data demonstrated that salivary proteins can disrupt host hemostasis, inflammation and immune response in addition to favor pathogen transmission. Previously, a Sanger-based sialome of the adult Ochlerotatus. triseriatus female salivary glands was published based on 731 ESTs. Here we revisited O. triseriatus salivary glands contents using an Illumina-sequencing approach of both male and female tissues. In the current data set we report 10,317 coding DNA sequences classified into several functional classes. The translated transcripts also served as reference database for the proteomic analysis of O. triseriatus female saliva, in which unique peptides of 101 proteins were found. Finally, comparison of male and female libraries allowed the identification of female-enriched transcripts that are potentially related to blood acquisition and virus transmission.
