Project description:Identification of chromosomal deletion and duplications in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia with t(12;21). This study was performed to correlate clinical parameters with chromosomal aberrations by array-CGH and to identify other potential novel cancer genes involved in leukaemia. In brief, PALL-6 was a Malay male diagnosed with B-ALL, had undergone a remission but late relapse and passed away. He was assessed under medium risk. PALL-7 is a Malay male and has a medium risk assessment, and is currently in remission. PALL-8 is a Malay female and has a medium risk assessment, and is currently in remission. PALL-9 is a Chinese male and has a high risk assessment, and is currently in remission. PALL-10 is a Malay male and has a standard risk assessment, had a relapse but is currently in remission. PALL-11 was a Malay male and had a medium risk assessment, but died during transplant.

PALL-11 was a Malay male and had a medium risk assessment, but died during transplant. array-CGH was carried out on 11 cases of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia with t(12;21) diagnosed by molecular and FISH techniques. Commercial male and female genomic DNA were used as the references.
Project description:Cotyledons and leaf transcriptomes of species of Salsoleae with different photosynthetic types were de novo assembled and analyzed to provide a better understanding of differential gene expression between C3, C2 and C4 species. Total RNA of cotyledons and leaves of different species of Salsoleae with different photosynthetic types (C3 Salsola webbii, C2 Salsola divaricata, C4 Salsola oppositifolia, C4 Hammada scoparia) were isolated with RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen) following Standard protocol (January 2011) and including DNase Digestion with RNase-Free DNase Set (Qiagen). 500 ng were used for cDNA library generation conducted with TruSeq RNA Sample Preperation Kit (Illumina Inc.) following Low Sample Protocol (TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation v2 Guide, Illumina Proprietary, Part # 15026495 Rev. C, May 2012). Sequencing of single reads was performed on an Illumina HiSeq2000 platform.
Project description:We will use high-throughput sequencing technology to study gene expression under NaCl treatment, screen for differential expressed genes, and then analyze the gene regulation features. Nitraria sibirica Pall. seedlings were treated by 0, 100 and 400 mM NaCl with 3 replicates,and the leaves were harvested after treated 3 days. Extracting total RNA of leaves and then sequencing by Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing platform. Our study provides a basis for the study of salt-tolerant gene resources in Nitraria sibirica Pall.
