The aim of this project was to evaluate the ploidy of a S. cerevisiae *S. kudriavzevii hybrid in comparison to the lab strain S288C. Other wine yeast have been icluded in the project for the global analysis.

View SamplesObjectives: The collagen VI related muscular dystrophies (COL6-RD), Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) and Bethlem myopathy (BM) are among the most common congenital muscular dystrophies, but the pathogenesis, including the role of mutant collagen VI in the matrix is poorly understood. To better define the pathways disrupted by mutations in collagen VI, we have used a transcriptional profiling approach with RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes in COL6-RD patients from controls. Methods: We have used RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes in cultured dermal fibroblasts from 13 COL6-RD patients (8 dominant negative and 5 null) and 6 controls. Sequence reads were analyzed using the TopHat/Cufflinks pipeline. Results: Differentially expressed transcripts between COL6-RD patient and control fibroblasts include upregulation of ECM components and downregulation of factors controlling matrix remodeling and repair. DN and null samples are differentiated by downregulation of genes involved with DNA replication and repair in null samples Overall design: Expression profiles of dermal fibroblasts from 13 COL6-RD patients with dominant negative (8) or null (5) mutations compared to 6 control fibroblasts.

View SamplesThe RNA-binding protein FUS is implicated in transcription, alternative splicing of neuronal genes and DNA repair. Mutations in FUS have been linked to human neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). We genetically disrupted fus in zebrafish (Danio rerio) using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. The fus knockout animals are fertile and did not show any distinctive phenotype. Mutation of fus induces mild changes in gene expression on the transcriptome and proteome level in the adult brain. We observed a significant influence of genetic background on gene expression and 3’UTR usage, which could mask the effects of loss of Fus. Unlike published fus morphants, maternal zygotic fus mutants do not show motoneuronal degeneration and exhibit normal locomotor activity. Overall design: We performed paired-end sequencing (100bp reads) of the polyA+ transcriptome from brains of five individuals with Fus-/- genotype and four with Fus wild type genotype. Note on RNA-Seq replicates: after performing first RNA sequencing on four replicates of Fus-/- and WT (labeled with the prefix "Sample_imb_ketting_2014_13_") we received a notice from Illumina stating a problem with the library preparation kit lot that was used to prepare the libraries. Due to that, we performed RNA sequencing a second time, using the same input RNA, except for the Fus knockout replicate #3, because there was not enough input RNA left. Instead, a different Fus knockout replicate (#1) was sequenced. However, we compared the mapped reads from sequencing run 1 and sequencing run 2 using plotCorrelaction from DeepTools, and the samples are highly correlated (at least 0.97 and 0.95, Spearman and Pearson correlation respectively). Therefore, we considered first ("Sample_imb_ketting_2014_13_") and second sequencing runs as technical replicates.

View SamplesThe metastatic form of Melanoma has a reported ten-year survival rate of approximately 15%. Clinical trials have shown modest success in a subset of patients. Particularly, combinational therapy using checkpoint blockade has shown the most success, but many patients do not respond. The patients that do respond to treatments often have a pre-existing antitumor immunity.

View SamplesProteome and transcriptome often show poor correlation, hindering the system-wide analysis of post-transcriptional regulation. Here, the authors study proteome and transcriptome dynamics during Drosophila embryogenesis and present basic mathematical models describing the temporal regulation of most protein-RNA pairs. Overall design: Whole embryos of Drosophila melanogaster measured at 14 time points during the first 20h of development (0h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 14h, 16h, 18h, 20h). Each sample was measured in biological quadruplicates. RNAseq samples correspond to proteome measurements deposited in ProteomeXchange as PXD005713.

View SamplesTo explore potential molecular mechanisms underlying the temporal process of DNA damage and repair in CSCs, we utilized deep RNA sequencing to analyze the expression of DNA damage and repair-associated genes at the transcriptome level. Our gene set analysis of CSCs and matched non-CSCs revealed a stemness-associated upward trend of global gene expression, particularly in NHEJ, mismatch excision repair (MMR) and HR pathways. Overall design: The RNA profiles of IN528, T3961, and T4121 CSCs and matched non-CSCs were generated by deep sequencing.

View SamplesCoilin iCLIP data revealed 42 novel human snoRNAs of intronic origin. To validate their expression and estimate abundance of novel and annotated snoRNAs, we performed RNA-seq on polyA- and rRNA-depleted RNA isolated from HeLa cells. Results show that expression of novel snoRNAs is comparable to the previously annotated snoRNAs. Overall design: 1 replicate of RNA depleted of polyA and ribosomal RNA.

View SamplesCells grown in forced suspension culture mimic the early steps of metastasis. In order to determine what might be driving the ability of TNBC cells to survive in suspension, a global gene expression profiling experiment was performed. Human triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line BT549 was grown in attached or forced suspension conditions for 24 hours, then RNA was harvested to look for changes in global gene expression.
