Project description:Terminal differentiation in parotid acini relies on sustained changes in gene expression during the first few postnatal weeks. Little is known about what drives these changes. Expression measurements along with knowledgebased network analysis was used to develop a prospective gene regulatory network that drives differentiation. We used both microRNA and mRNA expression measurements along with knowledgebased network analysis was used to develop a prospective gene regulatory network that drives differentiation. laser capture microdissection was used to isolate acinar cells from the parotid at four timepoints in triplicate (E20, P5, P15, and P25). RNA was isolated, and used to measure microRNA expression.

Expression measurements along with knowledgebased network analysis was used to develop a prospective gene regulatory network that drives differentiation. We used expression measurements along with knowledgebased network analysis was used to develop a prospective gene regulatory network that drives differentiation. laser capture microdissection was used to isolate acinar cells from the parotid at nine timepoints in triplicate (E18, E20, P0, P2, P5, P9, P15, P20, and P25). RNA was isolated, and applied to the affymetrix rat genome array 230.

Project description:Adult parotid gland RNA-seq libraries and embryonic submandibular gland RNA-seq libraries were created to examine the mRNA species present in these secretory glands, as part of a project to understand acinar glands in general.
Project description:Inflammation is a key component of pathological angiogenesis. Here we induce cornea neovascularisation using sutures placed into the cornea, and sutures are removed to induce a regression phase. We used whole transcriptome microarray to monitor gene expression profies of several genes
