RNA-seq involves purification of RNA, followed by either selection of poly-A(+) RNA or depletion of ribosomal RNA. RNA is then converted into cDNA by one of two methods; 1) random priming, followed by cDNA fragmentation, end-repair and Illumina/SOLiD linker ligation or, 2) Enzymatic or chemical RNA fragmentation followed by linker ligation and cDNA generation. Following PCR amplification of tailed cDNA fragments with primers suitable for solid phase (Illumina) or emPCR (SOLiD) clonal amplification RNA-seq libraries are subjected to sequencing. Sequence alignment software is then used to compare the short sequence reads to reference genome and transcriptome databases, and exon-exon junction databases. From this analysis paradigm emerges data that is used for a variety of purposes, including the measurement of gene- level and exon-level expression abundance; detection of base changes (mutations and polymorphisms) relative to reference datasets; measurement of alternative splicing events; identification of gene fusion events; and identification of RNA editing events.

View SamplesAdministration of spermidine, a natural polyamine whose intracellular concentration declines during human ageing, markedly extends the lifespan of various model organisms including yeast, flies and worms. In ageing yeast, spermidine treatment triggeres epigenetic deacetylation of histone H3 through inhibition of histone acetyltransferases (HAT), leading to induction of autophagy and thereby suppressing oxidative stress and necrosis. In order to further characterize the effects by spermidine supplementation of aging yeast cultures and to understand how global histone deacetylation affects gene transcription during aging, Affymetrix-based microarray analyses of three day old as well as ten day old cultures with and without administration of spermidine was performed.
Induction of autophagy by spermidine promotes longevity.

View SamplesThis study demonstrates simulated microgravity effects on E. coli K 12 MG1655 when grown on LB medium supplemented with glycerol. The results imply that E. coli readily reprograms itself to combat the multiple stresses imposed due to microgravity. Under these conditions it survives by upregulating oxidative stress protecting genes and simultaneously down regulating the membrane transporters and synthases to maintain cell homeostasis.
