Project description:An increasing number of studies, including mutant expression profiling and comparative transcriptomic analyses, require reference RNA-seq data collections in mice. Particularly, to complement previous profiling data sets based on arrays, a full RNA-seq developmental series will be required for whole embryos. E10.5 is a key reference stage as it represents the early organogenesis stage. Here, we have performed high-throughput sequencing of total RNA form whole mice embryos at embryonic stage E10.5. Sequencing of the total RNA of whole embryos of mouse at embryonic stage E10.5.

Project description:PGCs undergo two distinct stages of demethylation before reaching a hypomethylated ground state at E13.5. Stage 1 occurs between E7.25- E9.5 in which PGCs experience a global loss of cytosine methylation. However, discreet loci escape this global loss of methylation and between E10.5-E13.5, stage 2 of demethylation takes place. In this stage these loci are targeted by Tet1 and Tet2 leading to the loss of the remaining methylation and resulting in the epigenetic ground state. Our data shows that Dnmt1 is responsible for maintaining the methylation of loci that escape stage 1 demethylation, and that it functions in a UHRF1 independent manner. Our data further demonstrates that when these loci lose methylation prior to stage 2 it results in early activation of the meiotic program, which leads to precocious differentiation of the germ line resulting in a decreased pool of PGCs in the embryo and subsequent infertility in adult mice.
Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility.
Project description:We report gene expression patterns in embryonic mice (E8.5, E9.5, E10.5) through RNA-seq of 13 tissue/stage combinations in order to generage an atlas of early mouse craniofacial gene expression. Embryos at E8.5, E9.5, and E10.5 CD1 were collected from CD1 mice, fom multiple micro-regions whose development, differentiation and signaling are responsible for the construction of the mammalian face.
