Project description:the purpose of the study is to compare the gene expression profile of WT vs. XBP1 Mutant Drosophila Larvae Methods: RNA sequencing was performed from 2nd instar Larvae of WT and XBP1 Mutant flies Results: Across the 4 samples, there was an average of 51 million mapped reads per sample with an average unique mapping rate of 83%. Using an adjusted p-value cutoff of 0.05, 154 genes were calculated to be differentially expressed. Conclusions: XBP1 affects gene expression profiling in drosophila larvae
Project description:This study describes the epigenetic profiling of the H3K9me2 in wt Drosophila larvae, as well as in Drosophila larvae for which the euchromatic catalytic enzyme depositing H3K9me2 (EHMT) is knocked out.
Project description:Single channel custom oligonucleotide array of 147 microRNAs to detect changes in expression of a lgl-hypomorph mutant versus wild-type 0, 3, and 5 day old 3rd instar lgl-hypomorph larvae were compared to 0 day 3rd instar wild-type larvae to test for differences in microRNA expression
