Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in C. elegans DAF-15 neuronal AID worms under 5-Ph-IAA treatment. This project contains 8 samples (4 treated by etoh and 4 treated by 5-Ph-IAA) of RNA-seq data.
Project description:To identify changes in gene expression in daf-16 mutants, we compared expression in fer-15 young adults to expression in fer-15(b26); daf-16(m26) young adults grown at 25?C. At Stanford University, four samples of fer-15 and five samples of fer-15; daf-16 animals were prepared. At the University of Colorado, seven samples of fer-15 and six samples of fer-15; daf-16 was prepared. Set of arrays that are part of repeated experiments Place of growth: At Stanford vs Colorado Genotype: mutant strains vs wt (N2) mixed stage; some expts are reverse dye (wt in channel 2)
Project description:Comparison of sterile worms grown on Control Vector, daf-2 RNAi, and daf-2 + daf-16 RNAi. Synchronized fer-15(b26); fem-1(hc17) animals were grown on RNAi bacteria at 25ºC, induced with IPTG on Day 1 of adulthood, and collected from 0-48 hours (10 time points) and 0-196 hours (10 time points); RNAi bacteria was supplemented as necessary for later time points. Worms were floated off lawns with M9 buffer, centrifuged, and washed again in M9. The pelleted worms were dissolved in Trizol (Gibco) and frozen in liquid nitrogen.Time courses were compared with mixed references (collected from 1/2 of each of the time course samples)

Project description:Under adverse environmental conditions, nematodes arrest into dauer, an alternative developmental stage for diapause. Dauers endure unfavorable environment and interact with host animals to access favorable environments, thus playing a critical role in the survival of both free-living and parasitic nematodes. Here, we discovered that in Caenorhabditis elegans, daf-42 is essential for development into dauer stage, as the null mutant shows lethal phenotype during dauer entry. To examine the transcriptional changes accompanied by the absence of DAF-42 during dauer entry, we performed RNA-sequencing on daf-2 and daf-2; daf-42 worms at 52 hours after egg laying (HAE) and 60 HAE, the time at which 0% and about 40% of daf-2; daf-42 mutants form dead dauer at 25 degrees Celcius, respectively. daf-2 control worms develop into dauer stage after 60 HAE, and half of its population develop into dauer by 72 HAE, when raised at 25 degrees Celcius.
Project description:Profiling of DAF-16 binding by comparison of DNA methylation of a C. elegans control strain expressing the DNA adenine methyltransferase (DAM) and an experimental strain expressing a DAF-16::DAM. Both strains were fed daf-2 RNAi to identify DAF-16 binding associated with long lived worms.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of whole day 1 adult C. elegans, comparing animals carrying the m79 mutation in the daf-10 gene and wild-type isogenic animals. Genes that act downstream of sensory neurons to influence longevity, dauer formation and pathogen responses in Caenorhabditis elegans Manuscript abstract: Two-condition experiments, daf-10 vs wt, 3 biological repeats of each grown in parallel, verified lifespan increase in daf-10 mutant animals
Project description:We observed functional outcomes of cav-1 knockdown and wanted to characterize changes in gene expression profiles following this manipulation. To address this, we treated nematodes with daf-2 or cav-1 RNAi and compared gene expression profiles to these of untreated worms. The knockdown of cav-1 resulted in modulation in the expression of 92 genes, and some of them overlapped with genes which were affected by knockdown of daf-2.
