Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Yarrowia lipolytica Y4184 snf1 mutant, compared to the Y4184U+. The Y4184 is an engineered strain to produce eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) via expression of a Δ9 elongase/Δ8 desaturase pathway, and is derived from Yarrowia lipolytica ATCC#20362.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Yarrowia lipolytica Y4184 snf1 mutant, compared to the Y4184U+. The Y4184 is an engineered strain to produce eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) via expression of a M-NM-^T9 elongase/M-NM-^T8 desaturase pathway, and is derived from Yarrowia lipolytica ATCC#20362. A six chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate cultures of Yarrowia lipolytica Y4184Ura+ strains and three separate cultures of Y4184 snf1 mutant strains in which YlSNF1 gene is deleted entirely. Each chip measures the expression level of 6708 genes from Yarrowia lipolytica ATCC#20362 with fourteen 24-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:Total RNA versus genomic DNA hybridization on custom arrays designed for all Yarrowia lipolytica genes Total RNA was collected in mid-log phase from Yarrowia lipolytica cells grown in rich medium (abbreviated CM, in house recipe). RNA was then converted to cDNA, Cy3-labeled and hybridized competitively against Cy5 labeled genomic DNA from Yarrowia lipolytica.
