Project description:Bovine adenovirus type 7 (BAdV-7) is one of the most important respiratory and enteric pathogens in the cattle industry. Although live attenuated vaccines are used to control the virus in Japan, limited information is available on the genomic regions that determine viral pathogenicity. We determined the complete genome sequence of the attenuated BAdV-7 strain TS-GT. The genome is 30,052 bp long and contains 45-bp inverted terminal repeats and 30 predicted genes. A genome sequence comparison showed that 99.9% of the TS-GT genome is identical to the prototypic and pathogenic BAdV-7 strain Fukuroi; however, the TS-GT genome contains a novel mutation and four indels. We describe here potential relationships between these genomic changes and the biological characteristics of BAdV-7.
Project description:The aim of this experiment was to investigate the regulation of gene expression by KLF3 and KLF8 in fetal erythroid cells by analyzing single and double mutant mouse models. Affymetrix microarrays were performed on RNA from TER119+ fetal liver cells from E13.5 wildtype, Klf8gt/gt, Klf3-/- and Klf3-/- Klf8gt/gt mice.

Affymetrix microarrays were performed on RNA from TER119+ fetal liver cells from E13.5 wildtype, Klf8gt/gt, Klf3-/- and Klf3-/- Klf8gt/gt mice. Four wildtype replicates, four Klf8gt/gt replicates, three Klf3-/- replicates and four Klf3-/- Klf8gt/gt replicates of E13.5 TER119+ fetal liver cell samples, litter-matched where possible.
Project description:This analysis includes H3K27me3 profiles along the length of the X-chromosome in male (F2) and female (F3) TS cells and in female TS cells showing a complete reversal of X-chromosome inactivation (F3 clone1#A).
