Project description:Whole genome sequencing was performed on Halomonas sp. DSM7328 both original strain and evolved population in low dissolved oxygen (DO) level at 0.5% DO. The evolved Halomonas sp. DSM7328 was analysed and compared to the original strain.
Project description:Targeted therapies against cancer stem cells which are enriched in side populations (SP) involves interruption of Wnt-signalling. Furthermore, EpCAM is a SP marker and modulator of Wnt-signalling. Therefore, the effects of an anti-EpCAM treatment on SP-cells and WNT/β-catenin signalling was studied. SP of the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 was obtained by fluorescence activated cell sorting and whole genome scans helped to define their molecular phenotype after anti-EpCAM antibody treatment.
