Project description:BXH/HXB rat recombinant inbred (RI) strains are derived from the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR/Ola) and the Brown Norway congenic strains carrying the polydactylyl-luxate mutation (BN-Lx). Tissue from the apex of left ventricle of the heart was disected from 128 RI SHR/Ola and BN-Lx parental strains, RNA was extracted and labelled and hybridised to Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays.
Project description:Four male SHR/Ola, BN and SHR-18 rats were fed a normal diet and sacrificed at 9 weeks of age. Four male SHR/Ola and SHR-18 rats at 8 weeks of age were fed 1% NaCl for one week and then sacrificed. Kidneys were removed and frozen in liquid nitrogen for all 20 animals. Total RNA was isolated, labelled cRNA was generated and hybridised to Affymetrix Rat RG-U34ABC arrays.
Project description:We used Nimblegen HD aCGH to detect copy-number variants between genomes of BN and SHR rats Comparison of single BN against single SHR individual in a dye-swap experiment
Project description:Gene expression data was generated in BN and SHR rats to correlate gene expression differences with CpG methylation differences detected between the strains by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing.
