Project description:The intent of the experiment was to gather transcriptomic data from terminally differentiated cell types --spore, stalk, and cup cells-- in a simple multicellular model system, Dictyostelium discoideum, in order to characterize the cell-type specific gene expression patterns. Specifically, we dissociated and collected each cell type from the fruiting bodies of D. discoideum at 24 hours of development. We also collected exponentially growing vegetative cells of D. discoideum.
Project description:A sequencing-based profiling method (RiboMeth-seq) for ribose methylations was applied to study methylation patterns in Dictyostelium discoideum
