Project description:To identify the gene expression of early-onset colorectal cancer, we sampled early-onset colorectal cancer patients (age < 50) and late-onset colorectal cancer paitients (age > 70) We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of early-onset colorectal cancer tissues and late-onset colorectal cancer tissues.
Project description:Aberrant expression of SOX9 in human colorectal cancer cells suggests its roles in the development of colorectal cancer. To gain insight into SOX9-mediated transcriptional regulation in colorectal cancer cells, we attempted to identify its physiological targets on a genome-scale using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) in HT-29, human colorectal cancer cells. SOX9 CHIP-seq was carried out using HT-29 cells.
