Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse E16 epidermis deficient of Sox4, Sox11, or both as compared to gender matched wild type littermate controls. Goal was to identify the genes differentially expresssed in the conditional knockout epidermis vs the wild-type control epidermis.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Sox4cKO, Sox11cKO, or Sox4/11dcKO mouse keratinocytes as compared to their wild-type control keratinocytes, isolated from gender matched neonatal pairs. Goal was to identify the genes differentially expresssed in the conditional knockout keratinocytes vs the wild-type control.

Project description:Scaffold Attachment Factor B (SAFB) is a conserved RNA Binding Protein (RBP) that is essential for early mammalian development. However, the RNAs that associate with SAFB in mouse embryonic stem cells have not been characterized. Here, we addressed this unknown using RNA-seq and SAFB RNA immunoprecipitation followed by RNA-seq (RIP-seq) in wild-type mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and in ESCs in which SAFB and SAFB2 were knocked out. The transcript most enriched in SAFB association was the lncRNA Malat1, which contains a series of purine-rich motifs in its 5 end. Beyond Malat1, SAFB predominantly associated with introns of protein-coding genes also through purine-rich motifs. Knockout of SAFB/2 led to down- and upregulation of genes in multiple biological pathways. The nascent transcripts of many downregulated genes associated with high levels of SAFB in wild-type cells, implying that SAFB binding promotes the expression of these genes. Reintroduction of SAFB into double-knockout cells restored gene expression towards wild-type levels, an effect that was again observable at the level of nascent transcripts. Proteomic analyses indicate an enrichment of nuclear speckle-associated, SR proteins in FLAG-tagged SAFB immunoprecipitated samples. Comparison to immunoprecipitates made from FLAG-tagging of another nuclear-enriched RNA-binding protein called HNRNPU (also known as SAF-A) identified both similarities and differences. Perhaps most notably, we observed a stronger enrichment for speckle-associated proteins in SAFB immunoprecipitations and a strong enrichment for paraspeckle-associated proteins in HNRNPU immunoprecipitations. Our findings suggest that among other potential functions in mouse embryonic stem cells, SAFB directly promotes the expression of a subset of genes through its ability to bind purine regions in nascent RNA.
Project description:ChIP-seq to identify sigma38 binding sites in wild-type and delta ssrS (6S RNA knockout) strains of E. Coli K-12 MG1655, during stationary phase ChIP-seq using antibody against sigma38 in wild-type and ssrS deletion strain. Two replicates for wild type and one replicate for ssrS deletion.
Project description:Purpose:To assess changes in gene expression profiles of single cell from the wild type littermate controls cortices in E13.5, E15.5 and P0, and conditional knockout Bcl11a (and Bcl11b) at cortical projection neurons in the mouse cortices of the same ages. Methods: E13.5, E15.5 and P0 control and mutant cortices were carefully dissected under a clean environment. Then total RNA was isolated using an RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer’s protocol, quantified using NanoDrop ND-2000, and checked for RNA integrity using Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer. RNA-seq libraries were prepared according to the Illumina TruSeq protocol. Results: An average of 15 million reads per sample were obtained.
