Project description:We developed a novel method for RNA-seq in Trypanosomatids called ‘Spliced-Leader Sequencing’ (SL-seq). The method is based on the fact that the 5’ end of Trypanosomatid mRNA is starts with a SL-sequence, and specifically enriches SL-containing RNA prior to sequencing. In this study we compared the performance and functional results obtained with SL-seq to those generated with conventional Illumina Stranded mRNA prep. Therefore we sequenced mRNA of Leishmania donovani logarithmic phase promastigotes, stationary phase promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes with both methods. We also sequenced controlled dilutions of Leishmania RNA with human RNA.
Project description:Understanding the mechanism of action of CSE-Bu on gene level in osteogenic effect. We used microarray to detail the effect of MP and MP+CSE_Bu on gene expression in SD rats and identified various classes of genes that are either upregulated or down-regulated.
Project description:Gata1+ cells isolated from control and foxo3b MO zebrafish at 24 and 48hpf were subjected to RNA-seq and related analyses. Gata1-GFP zebrafish stran was utilized, embryos were injected with foxo3b MO and standard MO at one-cell stage. Gata1+ cells were selected by FACS at 24 and 48hpf and submitted to RNA-seq and related analyses.
Project description:Transcriptiome profiling of SMN MO injected, Gemin2 MO injected zebrafish embryos vs Control MO injected Two condition experiment : MO injected vs control. Biological replicates for SMN MO injected : 6, Biological replicates for Gemin2 MO injected: 7; Control MO injected from 6 independent batches pooled to serve as common control sample in all arrays.
