Project description:Analysis of gene expression changes in the von Hippel Lindau when mutant compared to wild-type at 4dpf using a whole genome microarray expression profiling. The von Hippel Lindau mutant displays a systemic hypoxic response under normoxic conditions. We performed single-colour microarrays to identify the gene expression changes which underpin the hypoxic phenotype. We used 3 biological replicates from both mutant and control, followed by analysis using Limma to identify significant gene expression changes. This work, together with ChIP-seq data for the Hif-1α in von Hippel Lindau mutants, should allow for the Hif-1α dependency of these gene expression changes to be assessed.
Project description:Analysis of the binding sites of Hif-1α in both wild-type and von Hippel Lindau mutant zebrafish lines at 4dpf by ChIP linked next generation sequencing. The von Hippel Lindau mutant displays a systemic hypoxic response under normoxic conditions. Results show the extent of Hif-1α binding to the genome, and provide a basis for analysis of the transcriptional response to genetically induced hypoxia in zebrafish.

The changes in gene expression between von Hippel Lindau mutants and wild-type controls was measured at 4 days post fertilisation. For both wild-type and mutant, 3 biological replicates, each of 30 embryos were used.

Analysis of the DNA binding sites of Hif-1α in both wild-type and von Hippel Lindau mutant zebrafish lines at 4dpf. The von Hippel Lindau mutant displays a systemic hypoxic response under normoxic conditions. Results show the extent of Hif-1α binding to the genome, and provide a basis for analysis of the dependency of the transcriptional response on Hif-1α in conditions of genetically induced hypoxia in zebrafish.
