Project description:This study describes the epigenetic profiling of the H3K9me2 in wt Drosophila larvae, as well as in Drosophila larvae for which the euchromatic catalytic enzyme depositing H3K9me2 (EHMT) is knocked out. ChIP-Seq profiling of H3K9me2 in wt and EHMT KO third instar Drosophila larvae

Project description:The first aim was to identify genes whose transcription is induced by rapamycin feeding in Drosophila larvae. Secondly, the goal was to find out which contribution the transcription factor REPTOR (=CG13624) has to the observed changes in expression. We thus compared gene epxression between rapamycin fed and control fed larvae in wild type larvae and in REPTOR KO larvae.
Project description:Signal transduction pathways mediated by kinases control diverse biological outputs at the level of cells and tissues to regulate a diverse array of biological and developmental events. To gain insight into how muscle expression of the evolutionarily conserved NUAK kinase regulates the transcriptional landscape during Drosophila melanogaster development, we performed high-throughput sequencing of RNA from either whole larvae or dissected muscle fillets at the end of larval development. Raw data was generated using the Illumina HiSeq platform. After trimming and mapping to the Drosophila reference genome, differential gene expression and GO enrichment analysis were completed.
Project description:the purpose of the study is to compare the gene expression profile of WT vs. XBP1 Mutant Drosophila Larvae Methods: RNA sequencing was performed from 2nd instar Larvae of WT and XBP1 Mutant flies Results: Across the 4 samples, there was an average of 51 million mapped reads per sample with an average unique mapping rate of 83%. Using an adjusted p-value cutoff of 0.05, 154 genes were calculated to be differentially expressed. Conclusions: XBP1 affects gene expression profiling in drosophila larvae
