Project description:Microbiome DNA from the adhering fraction of a sheep rumen. The RSTs were generated using an improved version of SARST (referred to as iSARST) from the microbiome DNA extracted from the adhering fraction of the rumen content taken from a sheep. The iSARST method is going to be submitted to Nature Biotechnology for publication. Keywords: other

Project description:We have completed the high quality reference genome for domestic sheep (Oar v3.1) and performed a detailed survey of gene expression across different tissues. RNA-seq data of 7 tissue types from the reference female Texel and skin tissue from a Gansu alpine fine wool sheep were sequenced. Here is the part of the RNA-seq data sequenced in BGI, including 7 tissue types from the reference female Texel and skin type from a Gansu alpine fine wool sheep.
Project description:We report the application of High throughout sequencing to explore the differences of skin between Super Merino sheep(SM) and Small Tail Han sheep, which have remarkable phenotype differences on wool and hair follicle traits. We analysed the expression data by CLC genomic workbench 9.0 software. We find there are 435 differential expressional genes (DEGs) (127 were up-regulated and 308 were down-regulated) when STH sheep as control group. Some hair follicle KRTs, KAPs genes and hair follicle stem cells marker genes, were up-regulated in SM sheep. However, some of mammalian epidermal development complex (EDC) family genes were up-regulated in STH sheep. The GO and gene network analysis shown high expression genes in SM sheep enriched on type I interferon, lipid/fatty acid synthesis metabolism. This study provide more details in skin which control the development of follicle and wool in sheep.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Ovine skin samples comparing pigmentation samples from piebald and normal Merino sheep All pair comparison of 5 pigmentation samples with dye swaps. Dye swaps were performed with different biological replicates (labelled 1 or 2) NOR - White sample from a normal, non-affected wild-type individual sheep PBB - Black sample from a piebald individual sheep PBW - White sample from a piebald individual sheep RSB - Black sample from a recessive black sheep RSW - White sample from a recissive black sheep taken from the inguinal, non-pigmented area.
Project description:The skin Microbiome stratifies Patients with CTCL into two subgroups. One subgroup has a balanced microbiome, while the other subgroups has a skin dybiosis with S. aureus outgrowth. This is accompanied by impaired TCR repertoire and poor clinical outcome.

Project description:Transcriptomic profiling of ovine skin lymph dendritic cell subsets CD26+ and CD26- compared to total enriched lymph dendritic cells. CD26+ and CD26- dendritic cells (DC) from sheep skin lymph were sorted by flow cytometry and were analysed for their transcriptomic profile. We demonstrate that the minor sheep CD26+ skin lymph DC subset shares significant transcriptomic similarities with mouse CD8a+ and human BDCA3+ DC. This allowed the identification of a common set of phenotypic characteristics for CD8a-like DC in the 3 mammalian species, i.e. SIRPlo, CADM1hi, CLEC9Ahi, DEC205hi, XCR1hi. Compared to CD26- DC, the sheep CD26+ DC show (1) potent stimulation of allogeneic naive CD8+ T cells with high selective induction of the Ifn-gamma and Il22 genes; (2) dominant efficacy in activating specific CD8+ T cells against exogenous soluble antigen; (3) selective expression of functional pathways associated to high capacity for antigen cross-presentation. Reference design (total enriched lymph dendritic cells) - Biological replicates: 2 sheep #10081 and #30066
