Project description:RNA-Seq of 14 tissues from a female adult olive baboon (Papio anubis) from the non-human primate reference transcriptome resource (NHPRTR) project
Project description:This project aims to identify novel RNA binding proteins in the baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Since interactions between RNAs and proteins may be transient, yeast cells were crosslinked with UV light at 254 nm which promotes the covalent link between proteins and RNAs. After this, polyadenylated mRNAs were purified via oligo(dT) coupled to magentic beads under stringet conditions. Finally, samples were subjected to mass spectrometry analysis. To rule out the possibility of RNA-independent binding we also analysed other samples: i) samples digested with RNase one; ii) samples where we performed competition assays with polyadenylic acid.
Project description:This project aims to identify novel RNA binding proteins in the baker's yeast , Saccharomyces cerevisiae, involved in the oxidative stress,. Since interactions between RNAs and proteins may be transient, yeast cells, either untreated and growth in rich media and exposed to 0.5 mM hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes were crosslinked with UV light at 254 nm which promotes the covalent link between proteins and RNAs. After this, polyadenylated mRNAs were purified via oligo(dT) coupled to magentic beads under stringent conditions. Finally, samples were subjected to mass spectrometry analysis. To rule out the possibility of RNA-independent binding we also analysed other samples where we performed competition assays with polyadenylic acid
Project description:The aim of this project was to evaluate the ploidy of a S. cerevisiae *S. kudriavzevii hybrid in comparison to the lab strain S288C. Other wine yeast have been icluded in the project for the global analysis.
