Project description:In molecular biology, the design of mechanistic experiments has to be optimized by considering statistical and biological principles. In contrast to statistical principles, biological principles of experimental design are not universally formulated. In an attempt to pinpoint generally acceptable rules, we investigated the importance of determining the optimal ranges of scale of i.e. dose and time in gene expression experiments. We propose a protocol for executing small scale, genome wide, range finding studies, covering a wide range of the potentially relevant part of the design space to find the optimal ranges of experimentation. This protocol is executed and a proof-of-concept is presented, where this approach is tested for both an in-vitro and an in-vivo study that aim to unravel DNA repair mechanisms provoked after UV radiation. We identified four challenges of range finding studies in omics experimentation; (1) the modularity of biological processes, (2) their dynamics, (3) the extent to which end-points indicate biological processes, and (4) the costs associated with the assays, which are all addressed by our approach. 57 skin biopt samples taken from 12 individual mice on 8 timepionts and for 6 different UV-B doses. Per mouse 5 skin biopts were samples in time

Project description:Comparison of the whole genome gene expression level of an amoxicillin resistant E. coli strain with the wildtype it was derived from. The process of amoxicillin adaptation of E. coli MG1655 wildtype cells is further descibed in van der Horst, M, J.M. Schuurmans, M. C. Smid, B. B. Koenders, and B. H. ter Kuile (2011) in Microb. Drug Resist. 17:141-147. Resistance to amoxicillin was induced in E. coli by growth in the presence of stepwise increasing antibiotic concentrations. To investigate consequences of the aquisition of amoxicillin resistance the transcriptomic profile of sensitive and resistant cells was compared in the absence and presence of sub-inhibitory (0.25xMIC) amoxicillin concentrations was compared. Total RNA of 3 biological replicates of E. coli MG1655 wildtype cells and amoxicillin resistant cells cultured with (0.25xMIC) or without amoxicillin was hybridized on a 12x135k custom designed microarraychip against one common reference.

Project description:Murine gene expression responses to Bordetella pertussis were determined in lung and spleen, between 0 and 28 days post infection. Data were compared to other parameters such as microarray, flow cytometry, multiplex immunoassays, and lung clearance. A 57 array study with 27 arrays for lung and 30 for spleen. For each tissue we used a common reference made from RNA samples of the same tissue. Please note that the reference samples are made by pooling RNA of all samples used for a tissue (either infected or uninfected). Thus, Lung and spleen each have their own reference.

Project description:One of the first steps in bacterial cell division is the polymerization of the tubulin-like protein FtsZ at midcell. The dynamics of FtsZ polymerization is regulated by a set of proteins among which ZapA. A zapA mutation does not result in a clear phenotype in Bacillus subtilis. In this study we used a synthetic-lethal screen to find genes that become essential when ZapA is absent. Three transposon insertions were found in yvcL. Deletion of yvcL in a wild type background had only a mild effect on growth, but a yvcL zapA double mutant is very filamentous and sick. This filamentation is caused by a strong reduction in FtsZ polymerization, suggesting that YvcL is involved in an early stage of cell division. YvcL is 25 % identical and 50 % similar to the Streptomyces coelicolor transcription factor WhiA. WhiA is required for septation of aerial hyphae during sporulation. Using GFP fusions, we show that YvcL localizes at the nucleoid. Surprisingly, transcriptome analyses in combination with a ChIP on chip assay did not provide clear evidence that YvcL functions as a transcription factor. To gain more insight into the function of YvcL, we searched for suppressors of the filamentous phenotype of a M-bM-^HM-^FyvcL M-bM-^HM-^FzapA mutant. Transposon insertions in gtaB and pgcA restored normal cell division of the double mutant. The corresponding proteins have been implemented in the metabolic sensing of cell division. We conclude that YvcL (WhiA) is involved in cell division in B. subtilis through an as yet unknown mechanism.

Project description:Genomes and transcriptomes of non-model organisms can be analyzed using next-generation sequencing technologies, but de-novo sequencing and annotating a full eukaryotic genome is still challenging. So, -omics experimentation with non-model organisms requires a suite of technologies to obtain reliable results in a cost-effective manner. Here, a novel method for microarray-based genome analysis is presented which is especially suitable for non-model organisms. We show that it is useful for complementing regular aCGH analyses and for evaluating transcriptome next-generation sequencing reads. The principle of the method is straightforward: feature intensities obtained after hybridizing the test genome are compared with the feature intensities of a control hybridization. The control hybridization is performed with negative control probes (no targets in the control sample), and with positive control probes (with targets in the control sample). The method has in principle a resolution of a single probe and it does not depend on the structural information of a reference genome: the genomic ordering of probe targets is irrelevant. In a test, analyzing the genome content of a sequenced bacterial strain: Staphylococcus aureus MRSA252, this approach proved to be successful demonstrated by receiver operating characteristic area under the curve values larger than 0.9995. DNA from eleven Staphylococcus aureus strains was extracted in three replicates, fragmented, and hybridized onto the S. aureus multistrain microarray. DNA from MRSA252 was used as common reference, but this channel was omitted in further analyses.

Project description:A subset of medulloblastomas, the most common brain tumor in children, is hypothesized to originate from granule neuron precursors (GNPs) in which the sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway is over-activated. MXD3, a basic helix-look-helix zipper transcription factor of the MAD family, has been reported to be upregulated during postnatal cerebellar development and to promote GNP proliferation and MYCN expression. Mxd3 is upregulated in mouse models of medulloblastoma as well as in human medulloblastomas. Therefore, we hypothesize that MXD3 plays a role in the cellular events that lead to medulloblastoma biogenesis. The purpose of this study was to identify MXD3 target genes.
