Project description:Goal of the experiment was to assess the differences in gene expression between maternal zygotic ezh2 mutant zebrafish embryos and wildtype embryos at 0 and 3.3 hpf.
Project description:The goal of the ChIP-sequencing experiments was to assess the differences in occupancy of a selection of chromatin marks and chromatin associated proteins in absence of both maternal and zygotic Ezh2 in zebrafish embryos at 24 hours post-fertilization (hpf). The goal of RNA-sequencing experiments was to ass the effect of the absence of both maternal and zygotic Ezh2 on gene expression in zebrafish embryos at 0, 3.3, and 24 hpf and link these differences with the changes in epigenetic mark occupancy.
Project description:RNA-seq analysis comparing WT, Rad21 MO and CTCF MO zebrafish embryos at stages (2.5, 3.3, 4.5, 5.3, 10 hpf) pre and post ZGA (zygotic genome activation)
Project description:In triplicate for each condition, 12 WT and acbd6 F0 crispant Danio rerio (zebrafish) embryos were incubated with 20 μM YnMyr for 24 h, either between 48-72 hpf or 96-120 hpf. After labelling, zebrafish were washed twice with fresh egg water, deyolked, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until further analysis.
Project description:Sox31 is a member of the zebrafish SoxB1 subfamily, and its expression can be detected both pre- and post-MBT. To distinguish the function of its maternal and zygotic transcripts, a splice blocking morpholino (Sb MO) was designed to interfere with the processing of new, zygotically synthesised mRNAs without interfering with mRNAs of maternal origin. Developmental arrest was observed in Sb MO which could not bypass MBT. Mid-Blastula Transition (MBT) functions as a time window for zygotic genome activation and maternal mRNA degradation. To uncover whether the “zygotic up” and “maternal down” event during MBT is retarded in Sb morphants, we performed microarray experiment at the end of MBT (about 4.3 hours post fertilication/4.3 hpf) to compare mRNAs from Sb morphants and control embryos. In one experiment, three flocks of zebrafish eggs were injected with the Sox19b morpholino immediately after fertilization, while another three control populations were injected with placebo. At 4.3 hpf, these six flocks of embryos were sent for gene expression profiling with six Affymetrix Zebrafish Genome Arrays. In another experiment, we compared two wildtype embryo samples at 4h (post-MBT) against two wildtype samples at 2.5 h (pre-MBT).
