Project description:The goal of this study is to identify the differentially expressed genes in Gdf9-Cre mediated Mtor oocyte-specific knockout (CKO) ovaries by comparing the transcriptomes of Mtor Wild-Type (WT) and CKO Mouse ovaries via RNA-Seq Analysis.
Project description:The goal of this study is to identify the differentially expressed genes in Gdf9-Cre and Zp3-Cre mediated Mtor oocyte-specific knockout (CKO) GV-stage fully-grown oocytes (FGO) by comparing their transcriptomes with that of the wild-type (WT) via RNA-Seq Analysis.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare oocyte transcriptome profiling in WT and Kat8 Gdf9 cKO mice Methods: Oocyte mRNA profiles of 2 weeks old WT and Kat8 Gdf9 cKO mice were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 54-63 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm10) and identified 18,468 transcripts in the oocytes of WT and Kat8 Gdf9 cKO mice. Approximately 5% of the transcripts showed differential expression between the WT and Kat8 Gdf9 cKO oocyte, with a fold change ≥1.5 and p value <0.05. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of oocyte transcriptomes after kat8 deletion, which is generated by RNA-seq technology.Our results show that Kat8 affects numerous gene expression in mouse oocytes.
Project description:To investigate the physiological function of TCF12 in oocyte maturation and preimplantational development, we crossed Tcf12fl/fl mice with Gdf9-Cre mice to specifically delete Tcf12 from the primordial follicle stage. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq on Tcf12fl/fl and Tcf12fl/fl;Gdf9-Cre growing GV oocytes (gGO), fully grown GV oocytes (fGO), embryos at 2-cell and 4-cell stage.
Project description:RNAseq analysis of USP7 conditional knock-out (cKO) mice. They were designed to flox exon 6 of USP7 and to allow deletion of exon 6 upon expression of Cre recombinase 27. USP7FL/FL mice were bred with Vav1-Cre mice to obtain USP7FL/wt-Vav1-Cre mice (heterozygote). USP7FL/FL-Vav1-Cre mice (homozygote) were obtained via breeding of heterozygous cKO mice.
Project description:We used RNA-sequencing to profile gene expression differences between Tregs from skin and LNs of Foxp3 cre-efyp WT mice. We further compared skin Tregs from control and Foxp3 cre Rora fl/fl (Rora cKO) mice in the steady state and after allergic inflammation was induced using MC903.
Project description:The goal of this study is to identify the differentially expressed genes in Zp3-Cre mediated Mtor oocyte-specific knockout (CKO) Metaphase II (MII) oocytes by comparing the transcriptomes of Wild-Type (WT) and CKO Mouse MII oocytes via RNA-Seq Analysis. Methods: mRNA profiles of 3 sets of super-ovulated MII oocytes collected from 24-day old WT- and Mtor CKO female mice were generated by deep sequencing using an Illumina Hiseq2500 platform with 41bp single read. All RNA-seq reads passed filter were trimmed to remove low-quality bases and adaptor sequences. Reads then were aligned to the mm10 reference genome using tophat2 (v2.0.8b). Reads aligned to genes are counted by cufflinks (v2.1.1). The FPKMs are normalized usingcuffnorm. Differentially expressed genes are calculated using cuffdiff.

Project description:Mouse forestomach fibroblasts were isolated from a wild-type (wt), a FSP-Cre;TGFBR2 lox/lox (TGFBR2cKO) mouse, and a FSP-Cre;TGFBR2 lox/lox; Smad4 lox/lox (TGFBR2/SMAD4 cKO) mouse and expanded in vitro. The cells were then harvested and processed for RNA purification. While wt and TGFBR2/SMAD4 cKO mice are healthy, the TGFBR2cKO mouse presents with forestomach cancer.
