Project description:This experiment aims to map nucleosome positions and comparison of the same in WT NORMAL GROWTH vs WT-NUTRIENT STARVATION/isw1∆2∆ MUTANT/rsc4-∆4 MUTANT in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a custom designed tiling array on Agilent plat form. The corresponding platform is submitted to GEO under Geo-ID GPL15842. 60mer probes with variable tiling density were designed for all the genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III. Each gene is tiled along with its 1kb downstream and upstream region with the exceptions of RPR1, SCR1, RDN5(1-6) and SNR52. Mononucleosomal DNA and size matched naked DNA was competitively hybridized to the array. Data was extracted and normalized log ratios were calculated using Agilent sofware. Normalized log2 ratio data was used in MLM to detection nucleosome positions.
Project description:Normal thymic T cell development is enabled by a stromal microenvironment most importantly composed of distinct epithelial cell populations in cortex and medulla. Their differentiation, growth and function require the expression of the transcription factor Foxn1. Direct targets of Foxn1 have, however, remained largely undefined. Utilizing newly created static and inducible genetic model systems, we now provide a genome wide map of Foxn1 target genes and the sequences bound by this master regulator. Foxn1 controls not only essential steps early in intrathymic lymphoid development including T cell lineage commitment but is also indispensable for later stages in T cell maturation such as the selection of CD4 and CD8 T cells. Thus, Foxn1 function critically choreographs both early and late events in thymic lympho-stromal cross-talk. Foxn1 ChIP-seq and RNA-seq in mouse models of hypofunctional or conditional knock-out of Foxn1 Brief sample descriptions are shown below: Foxn1 ChIP-seq (GSM1945905) - chromatin immunoprecipitated using an antibody against FOXN1-FLAG (wt*); 2 samples Input ChIP-seq (GSM1945906) - input chromatin; 2 samples 42cT (GSM1945907) - RNA-seq on wt*/-::nu/nu cTEC; 3 samples 42mT (GSM1945908) - RNA-seq on wt*/-::nu/nu mTEC; 2 samples 96cT (GSM1945909) - RNA-seq on wt*/wt*::nu/nu cTEC; 3 samples 96mT (GSM1945910) - RNA-seq on wt*/wt*::nu/nu mTEC; 2 samples NcT (GSM1945911) - RNA-seq on Dox-treated TetO- iFoxn1(del7,8) cTEC; 5 samples PcT (GSM1945912) - RNA-seq on Dox-treated TetO+ iFoxn1(del7,8) cTEC; 5 samples C57BL/6 mice (GSM1945913) - ATAC-seq on wild-type cTEC; 1 sample Please see each sample for more detailed information.
