Project description:Comparison of ES cell line of different genetic background and different cloning methods to identify changes on gene expression levels between these ES cell lines. The main question behind the experiments id, if there is major/important difference on gene expression level between NT embryo-derived ES cell liens and control embryo derived ES cell lines. Ih has an effect on therapeutic cloning that means the nuclei donor cell source could be an important question. We also included different genetic background cell lines (HM-1 is 129/SV, #4 ES cell line is B6D2F1 derived heterozygote cell line) to compare the effect of gentic background differences. Hetero- and homozygosis con be compared based on the PGA ES cell line from the same genetic backgound. Keywords: cDNA microarray, murine ES cells, nucleous transfer
Project description:Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was used to profile the transcriptome of 5,264 nuclei in mouse adult testis. This dataset includes two samples from two different individuals. This dataset is part of a larger evolutionary study of adult testis at the single-nucleus level (97,521 single-nuclei in total) across mammals including 10 representatives of the three main mammalian lineages: human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, gibbon, rhesus macaque, marmoset, mouse (placental mammals); grey short-tailed opossum (marsupials); and platypus (egg-laying monotremes). Corresponding data were generated for a bird (red junglefowl, the progenitor of domestic chicken), to be used as an evolutionary outgroup.
Project description:3 different ES cell lines were compared in order to determine whether there are significant expression profile differences between ES cell lines, or whether the constraints of maintaining pluripotency in culture force a similar expression profile on cell lines derived from disparate sources. Our results indicate that the latter is more likely. We identified 21 genes that were significantly differentially regulated, either on comparison with the pooled control, or on direct comparison of individual ES cell line data from different slides. Using semi-quantitative RT-PCR on 3 separate isolates from each cell line, we have confirmed 4 of these genes as consistently differentially regulated, Hprt, and 3 others. We would conclude therefore that different ES cell lines at the same passage number in identical culture conditions show very similar expression profiles. Keywords: cell type comparison
