Project description:We developed a Tet-inducible system to express deltaNp63alpha isoform under the control of keratin 5 promoter. Transgenic mice, which were Bigenic (BG) developed a severe skin phenotype with abnormal keratinocyte differentiation and defects in hair follicle development and cycling. Skin samples from transgenic animals and wild type animals were analyzed for global transcriptome changes. We used microarrays to performing transcriptional profiling of deltaNp63alpha transgenic and control dorsal skin at P16.
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.
