Project description:Exploring miRNA-related antisense transcription in Arabidopsis through RNA transcript profiling of smRNA pathway-defective mutants on a custom high-resolution oligonucleotide array.
Project description:Gene expression profiling was performed on a number of yeast transcription factor double mutants that have a negative genetic interaction score as observed in the transcription factor E-MAP.
Project description:Transcription profiling by array of mouse male retinas to investigate IGF-I-induced chronic gliosis and retinal stress IGF-I exert multiple effects in different retinal cell populations in both physiological and pathological conditions. Transgenic mice overexpressing IGF-I in the retina showed impaired electroretinographic responses at 6-7 months of age that worsen with age. This retinal neuronal dysfunction was correlated with the loss of rod photoreceptors, bipolar, ganglion and amacrines cells. Neuronal alterations were preceded by the overexpression of retinal stress markers, acute phase proteins and gliosis-related genes. IGF-I overexpression leads to chronic gliosis and microgliosis in TgIGF-I retinas, with mild oxidative stress, impaired recycling of glutamate and defective potassium buffering. These impaired supportive functions can contribute to neurodegeneration in TgIGF-I retinas, together with the increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, potential mediators of neuronal death.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of yeast wild type BY4741, gcn4 and yap1 mutants in response to boron treatment. Transcriptional profiling of yeast wild type BY4741, gcn4 and yap1 mutants in response to boron treatment.
Project description:The cohesin protein complex is well known for playing a role in chromosome segregation. However, it has additional less understood roles in transcription, DNA repair, and chromosome condensation. Mutants in two yeast orthologues (Eco1 and Scc2) of human cohesinopathy disease alleles were examined by transcriptional profiling in response to perturbation of the transcriptional program by amino acid starvation.
