Project description:We studied genes, that are differentially expressed between malignant and normal breast tissue, to find weak spots for anti-cancer therapy development. RNA sequencing of three cell lines was performed: MCF-7 (epithelial breast cancer cell line), BCC (primary breast tumour cell line) and MCF-10A (epithelial breast cell line).
Project description:The breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was engineered to overexpress the Twist gene resulting in the MCF-7/Twist cell line. To study which miRNA are regulated by Twist, we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling and compared miRNA expression between MCF-7/Twist and MCF-7 cells.
Project description:Genome-wide maps of H3K4me2 and DNase I hypersensitivity sites in prostate cancer cell line LNCaP and breast cancer cell line MCF-7.
