Project description:We identified an endothelial progenitor/stem like population in the endothelial fraction of preexsiting blood vessels. And we used microarray to see the difference of gene expression profiles between these two populations.
Project description:We identified an endothelial progenitor/stem like population in the endothelial fraction of preexsiting blood vessels. And we used microarray to see the difference of gene expression profiles between these two populations. Hindlimb muscle of wild type C57BL/6 were digested to single cells and stained with anti-CD31 antibody, anti- CD45 antibody, Propidium iodide and hoechst 33342. CD31+CD45- side population cells and CD31+CD45- main population cells were sorted by flow cytometry for RNA extraction and hybridized on Affimetrix microarrays.
Project description:The transcript profiles of Nesterenkonia sp. AN1 grown at 5 ºC (Cold) and 21 ºC (Topt) were acccessed to evaluate the cold reposnse of this Antarctic Nesterenkonia strain. The strain was grown in triplicates at the optimum growth temperature of 21 ºC and a test temperature of 5 ºC. Total RNA was extracted from two replicate samples for each treatment condition and the total RNA was enriched for mRNA. RNA-seq was done using Illumina Miseq platform at Inqaba Biotech, South Africa. The reads were mapped against the genome sequence of Nesterenkonia sp. AN1 (obtained from NCBI database) and assesed for differeential gene expression using CLC Genomics Workbench 7.5.
