The sense of hearing depends on the faithful transmission of sound information from the ear to the brain by spiral ganglion (SG) neurons. However, how SG neurons develop the connections and properties that underlie auditory processing is largely unknown.
Developmental profiling of spiral ganglion neurons reveals insights into auditory circuit assembly.

View SamplesWe have analysed the activity of the nuclear exosome during meiosis by deletion of TRF4, which encodes a key component of the exosome targeting complex TRAMP. We find that TRAMP mutants produce high levels of CUTs during meiosis that are undetectable in wild-type cells, showing that the nuclear exosome remains functional for CUT degradation. Lack of TRAMP activity stabilises ~1600 CUTs in meiotic cells, which occupy 40% of the binding capacity of the nuclear cap binding complex (CBC). Overall design: One sample each of Cbc2-associated RNA from wild-type and trf4-deleted cells at 6 hours of meiosis

View SamplesUsing 5 differents approaches, including RNA sequencing, we demonstrated that macrophages that specifically infiltrate renal tumors, express the immunosuppressive transcription factor Foxp3. Overall design: Examination of the Foxp3 mRNA expression in 3 different cell subsets (including CD4 T cells (CD4), type-1 macrophages (M1) and type-2 macrophages (M2))

View SamplesRNA localization is a fundamental mechanism for controlling the spatial regulation of protein synthesis within cells, as well as differential cell fates during early development. Localized RNAs are known to control critical aspects of early Xenopus development, but few have been studied in detail. We set out to identify novel transcripts localized to the vegetal cortex of Xenopus oocytes, one of the best-studied examples of RNA localization. We identified over 400 transcripts enriched in the vegetal cortex, compared with whole oocytes. Included were many novel genes, as well as known genes not thought to undergo RNA localization. These data suggest that the role of RNA localization in early development is extensive and will provide a resource for identifying candidate regulatory genes for early developmental processes.
