Project description:The Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array currently provides the most comprehensive coverage of the wheat genome for a microarray. In addition to using this resource for transcript expression studies and hybridization-based DNA marker discovery, we endeavored to use the GeneChip to discover the expression of natural antisense transcript (NAT) pairs. By using alternative target preparation schemes, both the sense- and antisense-strand derived transcripts were labeled and hybridized to the Wheat GeneChip. To enable maximum discovery, five different tissue types were selected for assay, and the wheat cultivar ‘Chinese Spring’ was used considering that most of the GeneChip probe sequences were based on sequencing of this genome.

Project description:Mice lacking the TrkB receptor and expressing a ribosomal HA tag in dopamine D1 receptor-expressing neurons (D1-Cre-flTrkB-RT mice) were used. A subset of these mice (14.4%) display repetitive, stereotypic rotational behavior. Polyribosome immunoprecipitation from dorsal striatum D1-medium spiny neurons was used to isolate cell-type specific RNA. Translatomes of 4-week old mice with and without repetitive behavior, as well as control (D1-Cre-RT mice) were compared using RNA-sequencing.
Project description:Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive B-cell neoplasm characterized by the t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation leading to cyclin D1 overexpression. Cyclin D1 is a major cell cycle regulator and also has a role in transcription, but the effect of the latter in tumorigenesis remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated the transcriptional role of cyclin D1 in MCL and its impact on the pathogenesis of this neoplasm. Integrating genome-wide expression analysis of cyclin D1-silenced and overexpressing cells with cyclin D1 chromatin binding profiles, we identified a cyclin D1-activated transcriptional program in MCL cells. We used microarrays to analyze the genome-wide expression modulation in cyclin D1 overexpression models established in the cyclin D1-negative lymphoblastoid cell line JVM13.
