Project description:Transcriptional profiling of day 1 animals comparing untreated daf-2(-) animals and daf-2(-) xbp-1(-) animals. Goal was to identify genes whose expression in daf-2 mutants is dependent (directly or indirectly) on xbp-1. Two-condition experiment, daf-2(-) animals and daf-2(-) xbp-1(-) animals. 4 Biological replicates in daf-2(e1370) background: 4 sets of daf-2(e1370) animals and their matching daf-2(e1370) xbp-1(zc12) animals. 4 Biological replicates in daf-2(e1368) background: 4 sets of daf-2(e1368) animals and their matching daf-2(e1368) xbp-1(zc12) animals.
Project description:To identify DAF-16-dependent transcriptional alterations that occur in a long-lived C. elegans strain, we used cDNA microarrays and genomic analysis to identify putative direct and indirect DAF-16 transcriptional target genes. Set of arrays organized by shared biological context, such as organism, tumors types, processes, etc. Keywords: Logical Set

Project description:DAF-12 is involved in development, dauer formation, and aging in Caenorhabditis elegans. To understand how DAF-12 is involved in these biologic processes, we performed chIP-chip using a DAF-12:TAP transgene and an anti-DAF-12 antibody. We identified 1175 genomic binding sites which were located within 5 kb of 3179 genes. These genes include known DAF-12 target genes as well as new genes involved in developmental timing, microRNA function, and stress resistance. The supplemental BED file contains all 1175 genomic binding sites described in our work.
