Project description:Ars2 is a component of the nuclear cap-binding complex that is required for cellular proliferation and contributes to microRNA biogenesis. Arrays were performed to determine the repertoire of genes that change following knock-down of Ars2. Knock-down of DGCR8 was also performed to determine which changes in Ars2 knock-down cells resulted from defects in microRNA expression. 9 samples were analyzed including: three biological replicates of control siRNA-transfected HeLa cells, HeLa cells transfected with three independent siRNAs targeting Ars2, or HeLa cells transfected with three independent siRNAs targeting DGCR8.
Project description:To understand the effect of FUS protein knock-down on poly(A+) RNAs profiles, we carried out control and FUS depletion (using synthetic siRNAs) experiments followed by poly(A+) RNA 3'-seq anlyais using lexogen kit (016.024)in HeLa cells
