Project description:Targeted mRNA gene expression profiling of primary tumors and lung metastases using a mouse model of spontaneous metastatic mammary carcinoma
Project description:Total RNA was isolated from matched primary mammary tumors and lung metastases from MMTV-Myc, MMTV-Her2 and C3TAg mouse models on homozygous FVB backgrounds. Primary tumors and lung metastases were also isolated from MMTV-PyMT on (AKR/J x FVB/NJ0, (BALB/cJ x FVB/NJ) and (SEA/GnJ x FVB/NJ)F1 animals. RNA-sequencing was performed to examine the expression differences of the primary tumors and lung metastases.
Project description:A transcriptome study in mouse hematopoietic stem cells was performed using a sensitive SAGE method, in an attempt to detect medium and low abundant transcripts expressed in these cells. Among a total of 31,380 unique transcript, 17,326 (55%) known genes were detected, 14,054 (45%) low-copy transcripts that have no matches to currently known genes. 3,899 (23%) were alternatively spliced transcripts of the known genes and 3,754 (22%) represent anti-sense transcripts from known genes.
