Project description:Chromatin IP was performed with Top2β antibodies in WT neurons and hybridized to custom designed tiling array. HD 2.1 (custom- made)
Project description:Topoisomerases are essential for resolving topological problems in the genome, while their function in gene regulation, especially during cellular differentiation, remains elusive/unknown. We reveal that the expression of two Topo II isoforms, Top2α and Top2β, is characteristic of dividing and postmitotic tissues, respectively. In embryonic stem cells, Top2α preferentially binds to promoters embedded in an active chromatin environment. Inhibition of Top2α activity results in misregulation of target gene expression that accompanies accumulation of double-strand breaks. Common targets of Top2α and Top2β are housekeeping genes while their unique targets are involved in proliferation/pluripotency and neurogenesis (Can we say this as this might be because we are driving neurons from ES cells), respectively. Moreover, a small subset of Top2α targets exhibit bivalent chromatin state that is resolved upon differentiation concomitant with their activation and occupancy by Top2β, a feature further observed for large lengthlong genes. These findings suggest that Top2α not only contributes to stem cell transcriptome regulation but may also prime developmental genes for subsequent activation by Top2β. Chromatin IP was performed with Top2α antibodies in WT ES cells and hybridized to custom designed tiling array.
Project description:This experiment aims to map nucleosome positions and comparison of the same in WT NORMAL GROWTH vs WT-NUTRIENT STARVATION/isw1∆2∆ MUTANT/rsc4-∆4 MUTANT in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a custom designed tiling array on Agilent plat form. The corresponding platform is submitted to GEO under Geo-ID GPL15842. 60mer probes with variable tiling density were designed for all the genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III. Each gene is tiled along with its 1kb downstream and upstream region with the exceptions of RPR1, SCR1, RDN5(1-6) and SNR52. Mononucleosomal DNA and size matched naked DNA was competitively hybridized to the array. Data was extracted and normalized log ratios were calculated using Agilent sofware. Normalized log2 ratio data was used in MLM to detection nucleosome positions.
Project description:Performing Chromatin IP of Klf2, Klf4, Klf5 and p53 in mouse embryonic stem cells with NimbleGen custom genomic tiling arrays, we sought to decipher Klf2, Klf4, Klf5-regulated genes. Keywords: genomic tiling arrays, ES cells
Project description:Performing Chromatin IP of Klf2, Klf4, Klf5 and p53 in mouse embryonic stem cells with NimbleGen custom genomic tiling arrays, we sought to decipher Klf2, Klf4, Klf5-regulated genes. 12 samples: Chromatin IP of Klf2, Klf4, Klf5 and p53 in mouse embryonic stem cells with NimbleGen custom genomic tiling arrays; three independent experimental replicates for each experimental condition were performed.
Project description:Ebf1 is a key determinant of B-lymphocyte specification. In order to identify unknown transcriptional targets, endogenous Ebf1 was isolated by chromatin-IP from primary pro-B cells and the copurified DNA was hybridized to promoter tiling arrays.
Project description:Expression profiling of from Top2β knokout and ICRF-193 treated neurons reveals a significant number of genes that are transcriptionally deregulated Gene expression in the Top2β knocnout ES, NP and TN stages of stem cell differention to the corresponidng wild type cells. In vitro derived neurons and cortical glutamatergic neurons were either treated with DMSO or ICRF-193 and were compared to reveal differentially expressed genes.
Project description:Genomewide mapping of Drosophila Twist protein binding during embryonic development. Two consecutive timepoints (2-4 and 4-6 hrs after egg-laying) were assayed in four independent repeats each. Two different antibodies were used to precipitate the Twist protein. Additionally, preimmune-serum was used as a control. The enriched DNA was hybridized to custom designed tiling arrays optimized for assaying all E-box motifs outside repetitive or coding regions of the Drosophila melanogaster genome (average gap size = 290 bps).
