Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Candida tenuis NRRL Y-1498 grown aerobically in xylose, compared to the same strain grown aerobically in glucose. A six array study using total RNA recovered from three separate cultures of Candida tenuis NRRL Y-1498 grown in glucose and three separate cultures of Candida tenuis NRRL Y-1498 grown in xylose. Each array measures the expression level of 363,196 probes (average probe length 53.1 +/- 3.8 nt) tiled across the Candida tenuis NRRL Y-1498 genome with a median spacing distance of 24 nt. During data processing, probes are filtered to include only those probes corresponding to annotated protein-coding genes.
Project description:Helicobacter cinaedi is an emerging bacterial pathogen of immunosuppressed individuals. The species is traditionally thought to require an H2-enhanced microaerobic atmosphere for growth, although it can proliferate under aerobic conditions when co-cultured with epithelial monolayers or supplemented with certain metabolites (notably, L-lactate). The goal of this experiment was to assess the global transcription changes that occur in the H. cinaedi type strain (ATCC BAA-847) under various media and atmospheric conditions. These include bacterial monoculture, as well as co-culture with Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. In total, Illumina mRNA-seq (stranded, paired-end) was performed on H. cinaedi grown under 9 in vitro culture conditions (4-5 biologic replicates per condition).
