Project description:While FGF mediated MEK/ERK signaling is required for apical tuft formation and metamorphosis in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis (Rentzsch et al, 2008), nothing is known about the role of MEK/ERK signaling in inducing germ layers and cell types during early developmental stages. We therefore performed a genome wide expression array on UO126 (MEK inhibitor) treated blastula stages compared to DMSO treated control embryos and identified genes potentially involved in neurogenesis, germ layer specification and axial patterning.We performed transcriptional profiling of Nematostella vectensis blastula stages (24 hours post fertilisation @ 17C) using a custom made whole genome array (4x72K - A-MEXP-2380). DMSO treated wild-type embryos were compared to U0126 (MEK Inhibitor) treated embryos at the blastula stage.

Project description:All genome expression changes investigated on pools of growth restricted rats (at term) compared to control rats. The protocol of growth restriction (length, duration) has been extensively described in Buffat et al (Journal of Pathology 2007a and Endocrinology, 2007b) Ten hybridizations, two technical replicates, were carried out using RNAs prepared from pooled organs from 4 to 6 pups.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression of M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv:deltaRv3133c::pEXNF-3133c following ectopic expression of a plasmid-borne copy of wildtype Rv3133c compared the same strain with Rv3133c uninduced. The M. tuberculosis H37Rv:deltaRv3133c was originally described in Mol Microbiol. 2003 May; 48(3): 833–843. A six chip experiment in which total RNA from H37Rv:deltaRv3133c::pEXNF-3133c was collected after 24 hours of treatment with chemical expression inducer or vehicle control. Three separate cultures/biological replicates were interrogated for both induced and uninduced samples. Labeled cDNA was hybridized to NimbleGen spotted oligo tiling arrays covering both strands of the M. tuberculosis genome at ~200 bp intervals between 60-mer probes.

Project description:We found two lines of evidence suggesting that miRNA abundance has been shaped by different evolutionary regimes at the two developmental stages attributed to functional constraints, which points to mechanisms more subtle and diverse than previously thought. 4 genotypes and 2 developmental states were investigated in this study, each with 3 biological replicates, so a total of 24 (4x2x3) hybridizations were conducted. Differential analysis between genotypes or sexes were analyzed.

Project description:Evolution of the capacity to form secondary outgrowths from the principal embryonic axes was a crucial innovation that potentiated the diversification of animal body plans. Nevertheless, precisely how such outgrowths develop in early-branching metazoan species remains poorly understood. To identify genes potentially involved in tentacle initiation, outgrowth, and maintenance, we performed transcriptional profiling at three different stages of Nematostella development: late planula larvae with tentacle buds, animals with growing tentacles, and mature animals with four-tentacle polyps. At each of these three stages, the animal was bisected such that the oral tentacle portion (head) could be compared to the body column. Tentacle buds, growing tentacles, and mature tentacles, were compared to body columns from each matching stage in duplicate, for a total of 6 samples.

Project description:Investigation of genome-wide gene expression in sepals, petals, stamens, staminodia and carpels in pre-anthesis Aquilegia flowers. One goal was to identify transcriptional signatures associated with petaloidy by comparing gene expression in petals and petaloid sepals. Other goals were to study the evolutionary origin and ecological function of staminodia by comparing a) expression patterns in stamens, staminodia and carpels, b) identifying transcriptional regulators expressed in staminodia and c) using gene set enrichment analysis to identify biological processes operating in staminodia. A 15 chip study using total RNA from the five floral tissues from three replicate natural populations with each sample representing tissue pooled from 60 flowers.

Project description:Clinical laboratories are adopting array comparative genomic hybridization (AGH) as a standard clinical test. A number of whole genome AGH systems are available, but little is known about the comparative performance in a clinical context. We prospectively studied 30 children with idiopathic MR and both unaffected parents of each child using Affymetrix 500K GeneChip SNP arrays, Agilent Human Genome 244K oligonucleotide arrays and NimbleGen 385K Whole-Genome oligonucleotide arrays. We determined whether CNVs called on these platforms were detected by Illumina Hap550 beadchips or SMRT 32K BAC whole genome tiling arrays and tested 15 of the 30 trios on Affymetrix 6.0 SNP array. The Affymetrix 500K, Agilent and NimbleGen platforms identified 3061 autosomal and 117 X chromosome CNVs in 30 trios. 147 of these CNVs were de novo, but only 33 (22%) of the de novo CNVs were found on more than one platform. Performing genotype-phenotype correlations, we identified 7 pathogenic and 4 possibly pathogenic CNVs for MR. All 11 of these CNVs were detected by both the Agilent and NimbleGen arrays, 9 by the Affymetrix 500K and Illumina beadchips, and 5 by the SMRT BAC array. Two of the 4 pathogenic or possibly pathogenic CNVs present in the trios tested with the Affymetrix 6.0 array were identified. Our findings demonstrate that different results are obtained with different AGH platforms and illustrate the trade-off that exists between sensitivity and specificity. The large number of apparently false positive CNV calls supports the need for validating clinically important findings with a different methodology. 30 trios were analysed consisting of child (proband) and both normal parents.

Project description:Environmental contamination from heavy metals poses a global concern for the marine environment, as heavy metals are passed up the food chain and persist in the environment long after the pollution source is contained. Cnidarians, dating back to 700 million years ago, play an important role in shaping marine ecosystems, but environmental pollution profoundly affects their vitality. Among the cnidarians, the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is an advantageous model for addressing questions in molecular ecology and toxicology as it tolerates extreme environments and its genome has been published. Here we employed a transcriptome-wide RNA-Seq approach to analyze N.vectensis molecular defense mechanisms against four heavy metals: Hg, Cu, Cd and Zn. Altogether, more than 5000 transcripts showed significant changes in gene expression, with Hg having the greatest impact on up-regulating transcripts, followed by Cu, Cd and Zn. We identified, for the first time, co-up-regulation of immediate-early transcription factors such as Egr1, AP1 and NF-κB. Time-course analysis of these genes revealed their early expression as rapidly as one hour after exposure to heavy metals, suggesting that they may complement or substitute for the roles of the metal mediating Mtf1 transcripton factor. We further characterized regulation of a large array of stress-response gene families including Hsp, ABC, CYP members and phytochelatin synthase that may regulate synthesis of the metal-binding phytochelatins instead of the methallothioneins that are absent from Cnidaria genome. This study provides mechanistic insight into heavy-metal toxicity in N.vectensis and sheds light on ancestral stress adaptations. 4 metals were tested in triplicates in comparison to control (4 replicates)

Project description:Investigation of genome-wide germline copy number mutations in mice after parental exposure to 3 Gy of acute X-rays The level of copy number mutations in offspring of exposed paternal mice was substantially increased when compared to the control Overall 262 samples were used of which 93 were control samples and 169 treated samples. The control samples came from offspring of parents (C57BL6/J (male) and CBA/Ca (female)) with sham -ir while the treated samples were from offspring of 3 Gy whole-body acute irradiated paternal and non-exposed maternal. The treated samples classified into two groups: post-meiotic and pre-meiotic according to exposed status of the sperm that gave rise to the offspring. The reference sample for each offspring was equal mixture of paternal and maternal DNA.
