Project description:HM1, HP1a-/-, and HP1b-/- ESC transcriptomes were generated to determine whether depletion of these HP1 proteins influences gene and/or retroelement expression
Project description:HM1, HP1a-/-, and HP1b-/- ESC transcriptomes were generated to determine whether depletion of these HP1 proteins influences gene and/or retroelement expression mRNA profiles of HP1a and HP1b Knockouts and its corresponding wildtype
Project description:In order to map levels of genome-wide HP1a occupancy we applied DamID (van Steensel & Henikoff, Nat Biotech, 2000; PMID: 10748524) in combination with next-generation sequencing of methylated GATC fragments. Mapping by next-generation sequencing makes it possible to examine heterochromatic regions that were not covered by earlier datasets which were generated using microarrays.
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. Gene expression was measured in whole testis from males aged 62-86 days. Samples include 190 first generation lab-bred male offspring of wild-caught mice from the Mus musculus musculus - M. m. domesticus hybrid zone.
