Project description:An Infinium microarray platform (HorvathMammalMethylChip40) was used to generate DNA methylation data from n=168 blood samples of a transgenic sheep model of Huntington's disease. 84 transgenic sheep and age matched control sheep.
Project description:There were similarities in the microRNA expression profiles in sheep model and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) suggest that bleomycin induced lung injuries share similar molecular mechanisms associated with the disease IPF
Project description:Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is associated with pathology in multiple tissues including the lung, digestive tract and reproductive system. Lung disease is primarily a post-natal event but other organs are affected before birth. Here we use the CF sheep model to investigate the initiation and progression of CF disease through gestation.
Project description:Isolated PAECs gene expression was tested in cultured cells from control or hyperthermia-treated pregnant sheep (IUGR model) to measure gene expression changes.
