Project description:Two introgression strains (ZZY10307 and ZZY10330) of C. briggsae onto the X chromosome of C. nigoni results in male sterility. In order to determine the cause, we sequenced the mRNAs from young adult males from these two strains, and compared to fertile males of the two parent species (AF16 and JU1421). Two wild-type female samples were also included as platform QC.
Project description:An introgression of C. briggsae onto the X chromosome of C briggsae results in male sterility. In order to determine the cause, we sequenced small RNAs from this strain and compared to fertile males of the two parent species.
Project description:To gain mechanistic insights into the molecular changes of Caenorhabditis briggsae between the two developmental stages: embryo and larvae
Project description:To identify differences in gene expression patterns between C. elegans and C. briggsae we designed whole-genome species-specific microarrays.
