Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to identify differentially expressed microRNAs in pry-1/Axin mutant compare to N2 wild-type (WT). Our study represents the first microRNA analysis of Axin transcriptome in C. elegans and facilitates investigations of axin mediated processes.
Project description:Germ granules are RNA-rich biomolecular condensates regulating posttranscriptional gene expression. In C. elegans, germ granules are associated with the NPC. Mechanism by which germ granules associate with the nucleus and relevant functions remain unknown. We uncovered the function of the NPP-14/24 complex in spatially organizing perinuclear germ granules and fine-tuning the piRNA-based transcriptome surveillance and the inheritance of gene silencing.
Project description:We report the presence of extensive, transcriptionally controlled oscillations in the C. elegans, developmental transcriptome. Furthermore, using ribosome profiling, we show that these oscillating transcripts are actively translated. Ribosome-profiling analysis of a timecourse that was collected over C. elegans development
Project description:We sequenced amplified mRNA from 20 pooled AB and 20 pooled P1 blastomeres hand isolated from 2-cell stage C. elegans embryos three replicates each. Transcriptome profiles of each blastomere at the 2-cell stage of the C. elegans early embryo.
