Project description:To gain insight into the alterations of gene expression profile in the course of non-mutationally acquired resistance, we performed RNA-seq comparing MDR persister cells to MDR cancer cells.
Project description:The emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains, resistant to the frontline anti-tubercular drugs rifampicin and isoniazid, forces treatment with less effective and toxic second-line drugs and stands to derail TB control efforts. However, the immune response to MDR Mtb infection remains poorly understood. Here, we determined the RNA transcriptional profile of in vitro generated macrophages to infection with either drug susceptible Mtb HN878 or MDR Mtb W_7642 infection.
Project description:Whole genome sequencing of 10 HCLc tumor and matched-germline T cells. Genomic DNA from highly purified HCLc tumor and T cell populations were utilized for library preparation using NEBNext Ultra DNA library prep kit. Sequencing was performed as 150 bp paired end sequencing using four lanes of an Illumina HiSeq4000 to an average depth of 12X. Reads from each library were aligned to the human reference genome GRCh37 using BWA-MEM (v0.7.12). The analysis of somatic genetic alterations in WGS data from tumor-germline pair HCLc samples was divided based on the nature of the mutation, as follow: single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, CNAs and SVs. Moreover, COSMIC mutational signatures and subclonal architecture was inferred for each tumor.
Project description:The goals of WGS (Whole Genome Sequencing) analysis in TJ46 cells derived from a GBM primary tissue to obtain information on the genetic alterations that characterize this model.
Project description:In this study, two accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia and Landsberg erecta) were crossed and tetrads were obtained using thanks to the the quartet mutation, which keeps the 4 haploid pollen grains from a single meiosis attached together. By fertilising a plant (of ecotype Columbia) with a single tetrad, then selecting seeds from siliques containing exactly four seeds and finally sequencing the 4 developed plants, we can access the complete history of meiotic recombination events occurring in a single male meiosis. Comparison of the genomic sequences (WGS) of the 4 plants in a tetrad makes it possible to identify meiotic COs and NCOS events in each tetrad thanks to the numerous polymorphisms specific to each of the parental genomes. The analysis of the WGS tetrads data consists of genotyping a series of SNV markers (differentiating Columbia and Landsberg) positioned on the five chromosomes for the 4 (M1, M2, M3, M4) individuals of a tetrad, representing the 4 chromatids of each chromosomes. A total of 20 tetrads, the F1 and the two parental accessions Columbia and Landsberg erecta were sequenced.
Project description:We performed single nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) with matched T cell receptor sequencing (TCR-seq), and pool matched low pass whole genome sequencing (WGS) of eight specimens from six patients, encompassing four undifferentiated polymorphic sarcomas (UPS) and four intimal sarcomas (INS), and paired specimens from two patients (one UPS and INS each) treated with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB).
