Project description:We profiled the transcriptomic changes that occur in the Drosophila third antennal segment after silencing the second order olfactory neurons in the antennal lobe with Kir2.1 (EH1). A non-conducting variant of Kir2.1 (Kir2.1-nc or EH2) served as our control.

Project description:Hemizygous ato[1]/Df(3R)p[13] null mutants lack Johnston organ (JO) in their 2nd antennal segment. We screened for genes that are expressed in JO by comparing the 2nd antennal segment transcriptomes between ato[1]/Df(3R)p[13] mutants and balanced Df(3R)p[13]/TM3 and ato[1]/TM3 controls. To assess transcriptomes, we isolated the 2nd antennal segments of ~50 flies per strain and extracted their total RNA. Because about half of the JO cells are sensory neurons, we also isolated RNA from the brains of ato[1]/TM3 controls to delineate neuronal JO genes. cRNA was hybridized to Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 arrays. For each experiment, three biological replicates were run.

Project description:Environmental temperature directly affects the concentration of chemicals in the gas phase. Therefore, if the olfactory system does not adapt to environmental conditions may provide inadequate information about distance to or direction of odor sources. Previous reports in Drosophila melanogaster show that temperature induces changes in olfactory sensitivity in complete individuals. Electrophysiological analysis demonstrates that these changes initiate at the olfactory receptor organs. In this experiment we try to identify particular genes responsible for olfactory adaptation to increasing temperatures using receptor organs of Drosophila after exposure to high temperatures. With this aim, wild-type Canton-S flies were subjected to 48-hour treatments at 30 degrees C. We use a direct approach selecting the specific tissue and making 'a priori' the gene election for the microarray analysis. Differential gene-expression analyses at the third antennal segments are performed comparing control and treated flies.

Project description:Whole-chromatin profile (FAIRE-seq) in three Drosophila species (D. melanogaster, D. pseudoobscura and D. virilis) in eye-antennal imaginal discs at the stage of third instar wandering larvae. By the use of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck methods, we assess the evolutionary forces acting on regulatory elements (cis-level) on chromatin activity across Drosophila eye-antennal imaginal discs at the stage of third instar larvae.

Project description:The goal of this study is to identify co-expressed genes downstream of Atonal and Senseless. These gene lists are used as candidate target genes (technically: as foreground sets) in computational predictions of cis-regulatory elements using the cisTargetX method (http://med.kuleuven.be/cme-mg/lng/cisTargetX). Together, the gene expression results and cis-regulatory predictions, yield a gene regulatory network underlying the early events in retinal differentiation. Predicted cis-regulatory interactions have been validated extensively in vivo using enhancer reporter assays and genetic perturbations. Six samples were analyzed for Atonal gain-of-function (GOF) in the eye-antennal imaginal discs of third instar larvae of Drosophila melanogaster, namely three biological repeats for two different Gal4 drivers (Gal4/7 and AtoGal), crossed with UASato. Three samples were analyzed for Atonal loss-of-function (LOF) in the eye-antennal imaginal discs, namely three biological repeats of ato-/- larvae. Three samples were analyzed for Senseless GOF, namely three biological repeats of atoGal4 crossed with UASsens. Finally, eight control samples were analyzed, namely two biological repeats of four different lines (atoGal4, Gal4/7, UASato, and cantonS wild type).

Project description:Genomic enhancers regulate spatio-temporal gene expression by recruiting specific combinations of transcription factors (TFs). When TFs are bound to active regulatory regions, they displace canonical nucleosomes, making these regions biochemically detectable as nucleosome-depleted regions or accessible/open chromatin. Here we ask whether open chromatin profiling can be used to identify the entire repertoire of active promoters and enhancers underlying tissue-specific gene expression during normal development and oncogenesis in vivo. To this end, we first compare two different approaches to detect open chromatin in vivo using the Drosophila eye primordium as a model system: FAIRE-seq, based on physical separation of open versus closed chromatin; and ATAC-seq, based on preferential integration of a transposon into open chromatin. We find that both methods reproducibly capture the tissue-specific chromatin activity of regulatory regions, including promoters, enhancers, and insulators. Using both techniques, we screened for regulatory regions that become ectopically active during Ras-dependent oncogenesis, and identified 3778 regions that become (over-)activated during tumor development. Next, we applied motif discovery to search for candidate transcription factors that could bind these regions and identified AP-1 and Stat92E as key regulators. We validated the importance of Stat92E in the development of the tumors by introducing a loss of function Stat92E mutant, which was sufficient to rescue the tumor phenotype. Additionally we tested if the predicted Stat92E responsive regulatory regions are genuine, using ectopic induction of JAK/STAT signaling in developing eye discs, and observed that similar chromatin changes indeed occurred. Finally, we determine that these are functionally significant regulatory changes, as nearby target genes are up- or down-regulated. In conclusion, we show that FAIRE-seq and ATAC-seq based open chromatin profiling, combined with motif discovery, is a straightforward approach to identify functional genomic regulatory regions, master regulators, and gene regulatory networks controlling complex in vivo processes.

Project description:We have used microarrays to identify genes expressed and required for the second mitotic wave (SMW) during eye development. Eye discs expressing Spitz under the control of GMR Gal4 have no SMW as Spitz promotes G1 arrest, ectopic differentiation also occures. To control for the ectopic differentiation, Spi expressing eye antennal discs were compared to eye antennal discs expressing activated RasV12. In discs expresseding RasV12 under the control of GMRGal4 the SMW takes place normally prior to any ectopic differentiation. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Experiment Overall Design: Drosophila eye antennal imaginal discs expressing either UAS RasV12 or UAS Spi under the control of GMRGal4 were dissected from 3rd instar larvae for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:We sequenced mRNA from from four segments along a developing 9 day old third maize leaf of WT W22 accession and ZmDCT2 KO (in W22 background - dct2-1::Ac) plants, to identify changes in gene expression in dct2-1::Ac as a response to the loss of ZmDCT2 function. The segments were referenced relative to the position of the ligule of leaf 2 as this point represents the source-sink boundary in a wild-type leaf and the transition from shaded leaf tissue to fully light exposed. Segment -4 was isolated at the base of the leaf blade that is photosynthetically inactive, -1, defined as the sink to source transition zone (just below the point of leaf emergence from the whorl), segment +4, from a fully light exposed and photosynthetically active region in the mid-leaf (maturation zone), and +10, the tip of the leaf and the terminally differentiated tissue

Project description:Maize and rice are the two most economically important grass crops and utilize distinct forms of photosynthesis to fix carbon: C4 and C3 respectively. Relative to C3 photosynthesis, C4 photosynthesis reduces photorespiration and affords higher water and nitrogen use efficiencies under hot arid conditions. To define key innovations in C4 photosynthesis, we profiled metabolites and gene expression along a developing leaf gradient. A novel statistical method was implemented to compare transcriptomes from these two species along a unified leaf developmental gradient and define candidate cis-regulatory elements and transcription factors driving photosynthetic gene expression. We also present comparative primary and secondary metabolic profiles along the gradients that provide new insight into nitrogen and carbon metabolism in C3 and C4 grasses. These resources, including community viewers to access and mine these datasets, will enable the elucidation and engineering of C4 photosynthetic networks to improve the photosynthetic capacity of C3 and C4 grasses. [Maize] Nine day old third leaves of maize were cut into fifteen 1 cm segments; samples were pooled from an average of seven plants per biological replicate and six biological replicates in total were collected on different dates. [Rice] 14 day old third leaves of rice were cut into eleven 2 cm segments, samples were pooled from an average of 15 plants per biological replicate and four replicates in total were collected.
