Project description:This is a SWATH proteomic survey of ~330 BXD cohorts, including some biological and technical injection replicates, across an aging time course, with individuals from ~6 to ~24 months of age.
Project description:We performed affinity-based enrichment with methyl-CpG binding domain protein followed by high-throughput sequencing (MBD-seq) to assay DNA methylation in mouse liver tissue.
Project description:A genetical-genomics study underaken in 31 BxD strains using whole liver: as used in Williams, Cotsapas et al, Nature Genetics, 2006. Keywords: genetical-genomics
Project description:Transcript data from brown adipose tissue from fasted-state male BXD strains on chow or high fat diet We used microarrays to compare the brown adipose expression differences across males from the BXD strain family and across two diverse diets
Project description:Parental and BXD mouse lines were received from Jackson Laboratory and The Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Splenocytes were isolated and stained with anti-CD4 and anti-CD25 antibodies. CD4+ T cells were separated into CD4+CD25+ Treg and CD4+CD25- Th cells. Tregs and Th cell were collected from spleens of 31 BXD recombinant inbred strains and of the parental mouse strains DBA/2J and C57BL/6J. Gene expression was measured by microarrays. The comparative analysis of the transcriptomes from the two cell populations allowed us to identify many novel differentially expressed genes. Furthermore, the analysis of cis- and trans-expression Quantitative Trail Loci (eQTLs) showed that both common and unique regulatory mechanisms are active in the two cell types.
Project description:Transcript data from livers from fasted-state BXD strains on chow or high fat diet We used microarrays to compare the hepatic expression differences across the BXD strain family and across two diverse diets
Project description:Transcript data from heart tissue from fasted-state male BXD strains on chow or high fat diet We used microarrays to compare the heart expression differences across the BXD strain family and across two diverse diets
Project description:Parental and BXD mouse lines were received from Jackson Laboratory and University of Tennessee Health Science Center. All animals were housed at UTHSC before sacrifice. Mice were killed by cervical dislocation and whole lungs including blood were removed and placed in RNAlater. Total RNA was extracted from the lungs. RNA from two to five animals per strain were pooled and used for gene expression analysis. Animals used in this study were between 49 and 93 days of age. All inbred strains were profiled for both sexes, and for a given BXD strain either males or females were used. Gene expression was measured by microarrays. Several genes which showed a restricted expression to lung tissue were identified. Known QTL regions for respiratory infection susceptibility were investigated and several cis-eQTL genes were identified. Numerous cis- and trans-regulated transcripts and chromosomal intervals with strong regulatory activity were mapped.
Project description:Transcript data from quadriceps skeletal muscle from fasted-state male BXD strains on Quadriceps, Chow or Quadriceps, High fat diet We used microarrays to compare the skeletal muscle expression differences across males in the BXD strain family and across two diverse diets
Project description:Transcript data from subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) from fasted-state male BXD strains on chow or high fat diet We used microarrays to compare the subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) expression differences across the BXD strain family and across two diverse diets
