Purpose:The goals of this study was to determine alterations in expression levels of transcripts downstream of a dominant-negative transcription factor. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) methods was used to confirm the altered expression of targets. Methods: Striatal mRNA profiles of 11-month-old wild-type (WT) and Nestin-Cre X PPAR delta E411P mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Western blots, and immunofluorescence was also used to confirm if altered mRNA levels translated to changes at the protein level. Results: Using data analysis workflow, we mapped sequence reads for each sample to the mouse genome (build mm9) and identified transcripts in the striatum of WT and PPARdelta E411P mice. Conclusions: Our study found multiple transcripts altered in the striatum of the Nestin-Cre x PPAR delta E411P mice as compared to WT striatum, as generated by RNA-SEQ in biologic replicates. Overall design: Striatal mRNA profiles of 11-month-old wild type (WT) and Nestin-Cre X PPAR delta E411P mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.

View SamplesTrans fatty acids (tFAs) may have deleterious, long-term transcriptional effects. To explore that issue, we assessed the effects of the tFA elaidic acid and its cis isomer oleic acid on transcription and, in parallel, on DNA methylation.
The trans fatty acid elaidate affects the global DNA methylation profile of cultured cells and in vivo.

View SamplesTo identify soybean genes and QTLs associated with quantitative resistance to infection by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora sojae, we conducted a very large-scale microarray experiment using 2522 Affymetrix GeneChips. The experiment involved assaying a total of 298 soybean recombinant inbred lines together with internal checks.
Infection and genotype remodel the entire soybean transcriptome.

View SamplesThis study presents a dynamic characterization of the sheep milk transcriptome aiming at achieving a better understanding of the sheep lactating mammary gland. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on total RNA extracted from milk somatic cells from ewes on days 10, 50, 120 and 150 after lambing. The experiment was performed in Spanish Churra and Assaf breeds, which differ in their milk production traits. Nearly 67% of the annotated genes in the reference genome (Oar_v3.1) were expressed in ovine milk somatic cells. For the two breeds and across the four lactation stages studied, the most highly expressed genes encoded caseins and whey proteins. We detected differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across lactation points, with the largest differences being found, between day 10 and day 150. Upregulated GO terms at late lactation stages were linked mainly to developmental processes linked to extracellular matrix remodeling. A total of 256 annotated DEGs were detected in the Assaf and Churra comparison. Some genes selectively upregulated in the Churra breed grouped under the endopeptidase and channel activity GO terms. These genes could be related to the higher cheese yield of this breed. Overall, this study provides the first integrated overview on sheep milk gene expression. Overall design: A total of eight healthy sheep were selected to be included in the experiment, four Assaf and four Churra ewes. 32 Milk Somatic Cells (MSCs) samples were collected on days 10, 50, 120 and 150 after lambing. In each time point 4 biological replicates from each breed were collected unless on day 120 that only three biological replicates from each breed were sequenced.
