Project description:Origin Recognition Complex Associated (ORCA) associates with repressive chromatin environments. We carried out H3K9me3 ChIP-seq to determine the affect of ORCA's loss on this repressive mark. Towards this end, we cultured U2OS osteosarcoma cells, performed control and ORCA knockdowns using siRNAs and then carried out H3K9me3 ChIP-seq to determine the regions in the genome which get affected upon ORCA knockdown. Examination of the levels of H3K9me3 in control and ORCA knockdown cells
Project description:Twenty-four patients were randomized to receive Orca-T alone (n=12) or Orca-T plus single-agent GVHD prophylaxis (n=12) to determine if Orca-T alone was non-inferior in preventing acute GVHD.

Project description:ORCA is an ORC associated protein that plays important roles in replication initiation as well as heterochromatin organization. We carried out ORCA ChIP-seq in U2OS cells synchronized at different stage of G1 phase to determine its genome wide localization. To understand the genomic features of ORCA binding regions, we also carried out Methylated DNA IP (MeDIP) followed by deep sequencing in U2OS cells to determine the genome wide localizatoin of methyl-CpG sites in U2OS cells and how ORCA bidning regions co-localize with this important repressive mark.
