Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Beyond the DNA sequence difference between humans and closely related apes, there are large differences in the environments that these species experience. One prominent example for this is diet. The human diet diverges from those of other primates in various aspects, such as having a high calorie and protein content, as well as being cooked. Here, we used a laboratory mouse model to identify gene expression differences related to dietary differences.

Description
Transformation of the Arabidopsis ATHB17 gene into maize results in the expression of a truncated protein (smaller by 113 amino acids) that functions as a dominant-negative regulator that can modify activity of endogenous maize HD-Zip II transcription factors. This RNASeq experiment indicates that the observed effects of ATHB17d113 on the maize ear inflorescence and ear transcriptome are very small. Expression of ATHB17delta113 protein in maize leads to changes in ear growth resulting in increased ear size at early reproductive stages and, potentially increased sink size. Overall design: Two ATHB17delta113 expressing events (Event 1 and Event 2) were compared to control plants (herein referred to as WT) in the context of Monsanto Elite Maize hybrid line NN6306. Three bioreps of both Ear inflorescence and Ear tissues were sampled for the WT and each of the two transgenic events.

Description
The transition between pregnancy and lactation is a major physiological change that dairy cows must contend with. Complex systemic and local processes involving gluconeogenesis, energy balance, utilisation of body reserves, insulin resistance and involution of the uterus can have an effect on animal health and farm profitability. Here we used an established Holstein cow model of fertility that displayed genetic and phenotypic divergence in calving interval, a trait used to define reproductive performance using a national breeding index in Ireland. Cows had similar genetic merit for milk production traits, but either very good genetic merit for fertility (‘Fert+’; n = 8) or very poor genetic merit for fertility (‘Fert-‘; n = 8). We investigated three distinct time-points, late pregnancy, early lactation and mid lactation (-18, 1 and 147 days on average with day 0 being birth), using RNA sequencing from both liver and muscle tissue biopsies and conducting a differential expression (DE) analysis. We found 807 and 815 unique genes to be DE in at least one time-point in liver and muscle respectively, of which 79% and 83% were only found in a single time-point; 40 and 41 genes were found DE at every time-point indicating possibly systemic or chronic dysregulation. Functional annotation resulted in evidence for two major physiological processes: immune and inflammation, and metabolic, lipid and carbohydrate-binding. These processes indicate areas of previous interest as well as specific systems that appear differentially regulated, and point towards interesting avenues of further research in a broad and complex field. Overall design: 96 samples total; 8 Fert+ (''high fertility''), 8 Fert- (''low fertility''); no controls; Fert+, Fert- differential gene expression at three timepoints in two tissues

Description
Recent work suggests that imprinted genes may regulate the signalling function of the placenta by modulating the size of the endocrine compartment. Our work provides in vivo evidence that this hypothesis is well founded.
Publication Title
The imprinted Phlda2 gene modulates a major endocrine compartment of the placenta to regulate placental demands for maternal resources.

Description
Ovarian cancer is one of the most deadly cancers accounting for only 3% of diagnosed cancers, but is the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths among woman; however, the progression of ovarian cancer is poorly understood. To study and further understand the early events that lead to epithelial derived ovarian cancer, we previously developed a cell model of progressive ovarian cancer. Mouse ovarian surface epithelial (MOSE) cells have undergone spontaneous transformation in cell culture and represent pre-neoplastic, non-tumorigenic to an aggressive malignant phenotype.

Description
To assess the global effects of HOXC11 in endocrine resistant breast cancer cells we performed RNA-seq on LY2 cells which were transfected with either siRNA targeting HOXC11 (siHOXC11) or a scrambled negative control siRNA (scrHOXC11) in the presence of 4-OH-tamoxifen (10-8M). Knockdown was verified by Taq-man qRT-PCR prior to library preparation. RNA (10µg) was extracted using an Oligotex mRNA kit (Qiagen) as per manufacturer’s instructions (n=4). RNA was reverse transcribed followed by mRNA library preparation and sequencing based on a protocol outlined by Wilhelm et al., 2010. Sequencing was performed on an Illumina Genome Analyzer II (GAII) (54 million reads per sample on average). Overall design: Silencing of HOXC11 in tamoxifen resistant LY2 cells to identify putative HOXC11 target genes.
