Project description:The involvement of miRNAs during vertebrate oogenesis is poorly documented. Based on the assumption that ovarian-specific or ovarian-predominant genes usually play important roles during oogenesis, we searched for ovarian-predominant miRNAs in the medaka (Oryzias latipes) ovary. 10 tissus were collected from adult medaka (intestine, ovary, testis, liver, heart, gills, kidney, brain, muscle and bone) and RNAs were hybridized on a designed agilent microarray displaying 3800 distinct miRNAs from different teleost and vertebrate species. We identified 66 miRNAs sequences predominantly expressed in the ovary that had never been previously described in medaka.
Project description:Here we analyze key epigenetic marks from medaka (O. latipes) during the vertebrate phylotypic period (stage 24). Chromatin immuno-precipitation with histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation and histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation antibodies.
Project description:Sequencing of the total RNA of whole embryos of medaka at developmental stage 24. 2 Samples, 60 embryos per sample, were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000.
