Project description:egr-2 is an injury-responsive gene that is upregulated in the anterior of planarian tail fragments and required for intestinal remodeling. The goal of this study was to identify differentially expressed transcripts in the anterior region of egr-2(RNAi) tail fragments relative to egfp(RNAi) control fragments.
Project description:Nkx2.2 is an intestine-enriched transcription factor required for regeneration in planarians. The goal of this study was to identify differentially expressed transcripts in uninjured nkx2.2(RNAi) planarians.
Project description:ApoB-1 and ApoB-2 are intestine-enriched regulators of lipoprotein secretion in planarians. The goal of this study was to identify differentially expressed transcripts in uninjured apob-1(RNAi);apob-2(RNAi) double knockdown planarians relative to egfp(RNAi) control animals.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Schmidtea mediterranea planarians that have been subjected to 2 weeks of runt-1 or control RNAi, amputated and RNA was directly collected at 5min, 9h, and 24h, or neoblasts (X1) were isolated from 9h wounded animals and subsequently RNA was extracted
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Schmidtea mediterranea planarians that have been subjected to 2 weeks of runt-1 or control RNAi, amputated and RNA was directly collected at 5min, 9h, and 24h, or neoblasts (X1) were isolated from 9h wounded animals and subsequently RNA was extracted Two-color experiment, 3 replicates per condition (including 10 animals/replica)
Project description:Freshwater planarians can be used as a model to investigate neuronal function and maintenance in adults in vivo. We knocked down expression for 2 transcription factors, then sequenced resulting animals to examine transcriptional changes that may have occurred. There are 3 triplicated conditions: control(RNAi) using the unc22 gene from C. elegans, lhx1/5-1(RNAi), and pitx(RNAi). Worms were fed RNAi for each gene 5 times over 12 days then were collected 12 days later. Approximately 50 million single-end reads were performed on each sample.
