Project description:Homozygous masterblind (mbl-/-) zebrafish exhibit reduced or absent eyes and telecephalon, and the expansion of the diencephalic fates to the front of the brain. A missense mutation in the GSK3-binding domain of zebrafish axin1, a scaffolding protein in the Wnt signaling pathway, results in the mbl phenotype. In an effort to identify and study the genes affected by Wnt signaling, we used a 14,000-oligonucleotide-gene microarray to determine differentially expressed genes in mbl/axin1 (-/-) and wild type control zebrafish embryos and larvae. Keywords: zebrafish, Danio rerio, wild-type mbl, axin1, development
Project description:Interventions: 64Cu-DOTA labeled antibody probes against HER2 and EGFR
Primary outcome(s): Visualization of PET imaging with 64Cu-DOTA labeled antibody probes against HER2 and EGFR. Comparison between PET imaging and expression of HER2 and EGFR.
Study Design: Single arm Non-randomized
Project description:MBL-1 is an RNA-binding protein important for the differentiation and development of many animal tissues. Our aim was to identify the binding targets of the MBL-1 protein in C. elegans. RNA from a CRISPR/CAS9-generated strain expressing a 3xFLAG-tagged MBL-1 protein was immunopreciprecipitated with an anti-FLAG antibody. RNA-seq was then performed to identify binding targets of the RNA-binding protein MBL-1. Experiments were performed at the L4 stage.
Project description:This experiment seeks to investigate the lengths and modifications of the poly(A) tails of hepatitis A virus (HAV) RNA by nanopore long-reads sequencing, and whether RG7834, an inhibitor of TENT4 noncanonical poly(A) polymerases, alters the poly(A) tails of HAV RNA. Poliovirus (PV) infected cells were analyzed in parallel for comparison.
Project description:The transition of monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis (MBL) to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remains ill-defined at the epigenetic and transcriptional level. Here, we performed single cell RNA and ATAC sequencing of low-count (LC) and high-count (HC) MBL and CLL blood samples to track the continuum from physiologic B cells to CLL.
