Project description:Three independent replicates of wildtype C. elegans were collected at the L4 stage for RNA. Heat Shock was performed at 35C for 4hrs.
Project description:The aim of the present study was to investigated the difference of Nrf2-regulated genes in livers between normal and heat-stressed chickens. The CUT&Tag and high-throughput sequencing technologies were used in this experiment. Results showed that 13171838- 15417444 clean reads were obtained in this study. These data suggested that there were many Nrf2- regulated genes in the liver of heat-stressed chicken.
Project description:Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) was employed for identification of differential DNA methylation profiles among control and heat-stressed seedlings of a fibre flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) var., JRF-2. It was identified as a tolerant variety of heat stress-induced oxidative damage. High-quality genomic DNA from four samples comprised 3-week-old control and heat-stressed (40±2°C) seedlings, with or without treated with 5-Azacytidine (hypomethylating agent). High-quality and filtered paired-end Illumina reads were aligned to the flax reference genome, assembled in chromosomes, using bwa-meth tool, followed by methylation loci (5-mC) calling using the MethylDackel software. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between the control and other samples were identified using the methylKit and annotated using genomation package for their precedence in the promoter/exon/intron/intergenic regions. The DMRs comprised both hyper- and hypomethylated loci, but the latter found dominated due to heat stress in flax seedlings. The WGBS in flax for heat stress will provide a platform to identify epigenetic loci responsible for heat-stress adaptation in flax.
Project description:The cells with the impaired Hsp40/Hsp70 chaperone complex Mas5/Ssa2 exhibit a transriptional response that is simillar to that of cells with the elevated levels of the heat-shock factor 1 (Hsf1) or heat-stressed wild type fission yeast cells
Project description:We sought to study the effect of heat stress on gene expression in C. elegans. We cultured CF512 animals to adulthood at 25C (at which they are sterile). We then induced heat stress by switching the culture temperature to 30C. Keywords: time-course
Project description:To understand the function and regulation of the C. elegans heat shock factor (HSF-1) in larval development, we have used ChIP-seq to analyze the occupancy of HSF1 and RNA Pol II in L2 larvae and young adult (YA) animals grown at 20°C or upon heat shock at 34°C for 30 min. In addition, we have used RNA-seq to analyze the transcriptomes of wild type (N2), hsf-1(ok600) mutants and hsf-1(ok600); rmSi1[hsf-1::gfp] L2 larvae grown at 20°C and characterized the gene expression change by heat shock in wild type (N2), hsf-1(sy441) and hsf-1(sy441);rmSi1[hsf-1::gfp] animals at L2 stage.
