Project description:By screening for genes possessing canonical X-box sequences in promoters of three Caenorhabditis species, namely C. elegans, C. briggsae and C. remanei, we identified 93 genes (including known X-box regulated genes) that encode putative components of ciliated neurons in C. elegans and are subject to the same regulatory control. For many of these genes, restricted anatomical expression in ciliated cells was confirmed, and control of transcription by the ciliogenic DAF-19 RFX transcription factor was demonstrated by comparative transcriptional profiling of daf-19(+) and daf-19(-) animals. Experiment Overall Design: There 4 samples.
Project description:DAF-12 is involved in development, dauer formation, and aging in Caenorhabditis elegans. To understand how DAF-12 is involved in these biologic processes, we performed chIP-chip using a DAF-12:TAP transgene and an anti-DAF-12 antibody. We identified 1175 genomic binding sites which were located within 5 kb of 3179 genes. These genes include known DAF-12 target genes as well as new genes involved in developmental timing, microRNA function, and stress resistance. The supplemental BED file contains all 1175 genomic binding sites described in our work.
Project description:DAF-16/FoxO and EGL-27/GATA promote developmental growth in response to persistent somatic DNA damage [N2, daf-2, daf-16, daf-2 daf-16]
Project description:To identify DAF-16-dependent transcriptional alterations that occur in a long-lived C. elegans strain, we used cDNA microarrays and genomic analysis to identify putative direct and indirect DAF-16 transcriptional target genes. Set of arrays organized by shared biological context, such as organism, tumors types, processes, etc. Keywords: Logical Set
