Project description:TGF-beta/Smads signaling plays important roles in vascular integrity. To identify potential Smad4 target genes in brain endothelial cells that control cerebrovascular integrity, the microarray assay was performed to compare the gene expression profiles of bEnd3 transfected with Smad4-siRNA and control-siRNA. bEnd3 cells were infected by Smad4-siRNA or control-siRNA retrovirus particles produced by PLAT-E packaging cells and selected by puromycin. The specific and control RNAi cells were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Two independent infections were performed and samples were pooled in order to obtain representative populations.

Project description:Differential gene expression profiles between SUM149 cells transfected with control siRNA and SUM149 cells transfected with siRNA targeting tarzarotene-induced gene 1 (TIG1)
Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility.
