ABSTRACT: PREDICT/Predicting individual response and resistance to VEGFR/mTOR pathway therapeutic intervention using biomarkers discovered through tumour functional genomics.
Project description:The DMDD Programme (Deciphering the Mechanisms of Developmental Disorders ) provides a free online database of morphological and molecular phenotypes from embryonic-lethal mouse gene knockouts (http://www.dmdd.org.uk/). Embryos are imaged using high-resolution episcopic microscopy (HREM), placentas are examined by histology and mutant embryo mRNA expression profiles are compared to wild type. To underpin these investigations we have produced a comprehensive time series of gene expression through normal embryo development<br></br>In this study, yotal RNA was extracted from wildtype C57BL/6N sibling embryos with heterozygous parentage from the Mouse Genetics Project (http://www.dmdd.org.uk/) and DNase treated. Stranded RNAseq libraries were constructed using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded RNA protocol with oligo dT pulldown. <br></br> Notes about samples and libraries:<br></br> (1) A combination of litter identifier and embryo identifier within a litter will unambiguously identify a single embryo used in this study. <br></br> (2) There is a margin of error for the somite-stage information (+/- 1 somite) because some embryos could be in between somite stages. <br></br>(3) Sex of the embryos was determined post-RNA-seq by looking at the expression of Xist (strong expression in females only). <br></br>(4) All knockouts in the parents (and hence grandparents) are for embryonic lethal genes. <br></br> (5) There are four biological replicates per somite-stage. <br></br>(6) Complementary data on genotypically wild-type mice with mixed G0 lineage and no history of genetic modification can also be found in ArrayExpress under accession numbers E-ERAD-401 ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-ERAD-401 ) and E-ERAD-499 ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-ERAD-499 ) respectively.
Project description:The DMDD Programme (Deciphering the Mechanisms of Developmental Disorders, https://dmdd.org.uk/) provides a free online database of morphological and molecular phenotypes from embryonic-lethal mouse gene knockouts (http://www.dmdd.org.uk/). Embryos are imaged using HREM, placentas are examined by histology and mutant embryo mRNA expression profiles are compared to wild type. To underpin these investigations we have produced a comprehensive time series of gene expression through normal embryo development. Total RNA was extracted from somite number staged, second generation genotypically wild type, C57BL/6N embryos of mixed G0 linages from the Mouse Genetics Programme (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/science/collaboration/mouse-resource-portal) and DNase treated. Stranded RNA-seq libraries were constructed using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded RNA protocol with oligo dT pulldown.<br> Notes about samples and libraries: </br><br>(1) A combination of litter identifier and embryo identifier within a litter will unambiguously identify a single embryo used in this study. </br><br>(2) There is a margin of error for the somite-stage information (+/- 1 somite) because some embryos could be in between somite stages. </br><br> (3) All knockouts in the parents or grandparents are for embryonic lethal genes. </br><br>(4) There are four biological replicates per somite-stage, with the exception of the 4-somite embryos (three biological replicates only). Altogether 111 embryos were sourced, of which 14 were sequenced twice to generate enough read depth/coverage. No new libraries were prepared for the repeated sequencing, despite the assays being assigned new ERX* accessions. </br><br> (5) Sex of the embryos was determined post-RNA-seq by looking at the expression of Xist (strong expression in females only). </br><br> (6) Library constructon batch refers to batch of sample handling post RNA-extraction (size selection, PCR amplification during library preparataion). </br><br>(7) Superbatch gathers 17 representative embryos out of the 111 embryos post RNA-extraction, and put them through the library construction pipeline as one single batch. The generated data is intended to be used for normalisation using the remove unwanted variation (RUV) method. </br> <br> This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:Effect of low-doses of ionizing radiation on the behaviour of epithelial cells. The aim of the study is to check whether a single exposure of 50 mGy of ioninzing radiation promotes changes in RNA transcription levels and/or mutations.
Project description:The Arabidopsis Branching Enzyme 1 (BE1) gene encodes a putative glycoside hydrolase involved in carbohydrate metabolism. A partial loss-of-function mutation of the BE1 gene (be1-3 mutant) severely impaired adventitious shoot formation and somatic embryogenesis but not root formation in tissue culture. To gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying the in vitro plant regeneration defects caused by the BE1 gene mutation, we performed RNA sequencing analysis (RNA-seq) to examine the differential gene expression between WS and be1-3 mutant at dedifferentiation and redifferentiation stages.
Project description:The concurrent epigenetic changes during this period of remarkable improvement in maize grain yield remain unknown. Here, we performed MethylC-seq and RNA-seq on 4 related inbred lines with known pedigree information. Analysis of epigenetic changes over the course of historical maize breeding is a valuable new avenue in the exploration for crop improvement. These data lead us to suggest that novel epihaplotypes, in addition to DNA variation, are a substrate of selection during breeding, and that epigenetic variation between parents may also contribute to heterosis in hybrids.

Project description:Maize exhibits levels of structural variation (SV) of non-repeat sequences that are unprecedented among higher eukaryotes. This SV includes hundreds of copy number variants (CNVs) and thousands of presence/absence variants (PAVs). Many of the PAVs contain intact, expressed, single-copy genes that are present in one haplotype but absent from another. The goal of this project is to test the hypothesis that differences in gene copy number (both gains and losses) contribute to the extraordinary phenotypic diversity and plasticity of maize. Maize is a good model for these studies because it exhibits a rapid decay of linkage disequilibrium (LD) and because a draft genome sequence of the B73 inbred and mapping populations are available. As a first step, the Zeanome, a near-complete set of genes present in B73, other maize lines and the wild ancestor of maize (teosinte), is being defined using transcriptomic data. Note: All samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession (SRS302561). This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence âSource Nameâ was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.
Project description:For this project, we have sequenced, assembled and annotated a transcriptome of a diploid wheat Triticum urartu accession PI 428198. The sequencing libraries were prepared from shoot and root tissues harvested from 2-3 week old seedlings. All sequencing was carried out on the Illumina HiSeq platform using the 100 bp pair-end protocol (248.5 million reads). The assembly was constructed using a multiple k-mer approach with a de novo assembly algorithm implemented in CLC Genomics Workbench 5.5 and additional redundancy reduction with CD-HIT and blast2cap3 programs. Open reading frames and proteins were predicted using BLASTX searches and a findorf algorithm.
Project description:To determine transcriptome dynamics regulated by CPL3 during elicitation of immune responses, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of Col-0 WT and cpl3-3 mutant treated without or with flg22 for 30 min.
