Project description:Dual oxidases play a role in innate host defense at barrier epithelia. We examined the effect of loss of dual oxidase function (duoxa-/-) on gene expression in the mouse terminal ileum at homeostasis. To control for cage/litter effects, duoxa-/- were cohoused with wild type littermate controls. Ileal mucosal samples were obtained from duoxa-/- mice and cohoused wild type littermates from three separate cages (litters). For each cage, RNA was pooled from n=2-3 animals per genotype.

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.
Project description:Bulk RNA sequencing of ileal tissue from germline Psen2KO mice versus wild-type littermate control mice and bulk RNA sequencing of ileal tissue from inducible presenilin double knockout mice versus Psen2KO littermate control mice.
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. Gene expression was measured in whole testis from males aged 62-86 days. Samples include 190 first generation lab-bred male offspring of wild-caught mice from the Mus musculus musculus - M. m. domesticus hybrid zone.
