Mouse Fam32a Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Fam32a Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Fam32a knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Fam32a gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_026455 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000003039 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 8. 4 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAA stop codon in exon 4 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000003123). Exon 1~4 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 1 starts from about 0.3% of the coding region. Exon 1~4 covers 100.0% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~2461 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

SUMMARY We determined that over 40 spliceosomal proteins are conserved between many fungal species and humans but were lost during the evolution of S. cerevisiae, an intron-poor yeast with unusually rigid splicing signals. We analyzed null mutations in a subset of these factors, most of which had not been investigated previously, in the intron-rich yeast Cryptococcus neoformans.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • Mrna Editing, Processing and Quality Control in Caenorhabditis Elegans
    | WORMBOOK mRNA Editing, Processing and Quality Control in Caenorhabditis elegans Joshua A. Arribere,*,1 Hidehito Kuroyanagi,†,1 and Heather A. Hundley‡,1 *Department of MCD Biology, UC Santa Cruz, California 95064, †Laboratory of Gene Expression, Medical Research Institute, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan, and ‡Medical Sciences Program, Indiana University School of Medicine-Bloomington, Indiana 47405 ABSTRACT While DNA serves as the blueprint of life, the distinct functions of each cell are determined by the dynamic expression of genes from the static genome. The amount and specific sequences of RNAs expressed in a given cell involves a number of regulated processes including RNA synthesis (transcription), processing, splicing, modification, polyadenylation, stability, translation, and degradation. As errors during mRNA production can create gene products that are deleterious to the organism, quality control mechanisms exist to survey and remove errors in mRNA expression and processing. Here, we will provide an overview of mRNA processing and quality control mechanisms that occur in Caenorhabditis elegans, with a focus on those that occur on protein-coding genes after transcription initiation. In addition, we will describe the genetic and technical approaches that have allowed studies in C. elegans to reveal important mechanistic insight into these processes.

  • CD4+ T Cells from Children with Active Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Show
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN CD4+ T cells from children with active juvenile idiopathic arthritis show altered chromatin features associated with transcriptional abnormalities Evan Tarbell1,3,5,7, Kaiyu Jiang2,7, Teresa R. Hennon2, Lucy Holmes2, Sonja Williams2, Yao Fu4, Patrick M. Gafney4, Tao Liu1,3,6 & James N. Jarvis2,3* Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common chronic diseases in children. While clinical outcomes for patients with juvenile JIA have improved, the underlying biology of the disease and mechanisms underlying therapeutic response/non-response are poorly understood. We have shown that active JIA is associated with distinct transcriptional abnormalities, and that the attainment of remission is associated with reorganization of transcriptional networks. In this study, we used a multi- omics approach to identify mechanisms driving the transcriptional abnormalities in peripheral blood CD4+ T cells of children with active JIA. We demonstrate that active JIA is associated with alterations in CD4+ T cell chromatin, as assessed by ATACseq studies. However, 3D chromatin architecture, assessed by HiChIP and simultaneous mapping of CTCF anchors of chromatin loops, reveals that normal 3D chromatin architecture is largely preserved. Overlapping CTCF binding, ATACseq, and RNAseq data with known JIA genetic risk loci demonstrated the presence of genetic infuences on the observed transcriptional abnormalities and identifed candidate target genes. These studies demonstrate the utility of multi-omics approaches for unraveling important questions regarding the pathobiology of autoimmune diseases. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a broad term that describes a clinically heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by chronic synovial hypertrophy and infammation, with onset before 16 years of age 1.

Ing. Ivo Provazník, Ph.D. ŠKOLITEL BRNO 2017 ABSTRACT The high-throughputs sequence technologies produce a massive amount of data, that can reveal new genes, identify splice variants, and quantify gene expression genome-wide. However, the volume and the complexity of data from RNA-seq experiments necessitate a scalable, and mathematical analysis based on a robust statistical model. Therefore, it is challenging to design integrated workflow, that incorporates the various analysis procedures. Particularly, the comparative transcriptome analysis is complicated due to several sources of measurement variability and poses numerous statistical challenges. In this research, we performed an integrated transcriptional profiling pipeline, which generates novel reproducible codes to obtain biologically interpretable results. Starting with the annotation of RNA-seq data and quality assessment, we provided a set of codes to serve the quality assessment visualization needed for establishing the RNA-Seq data analysis experiment. Additionally, we performed comprehensive differential gene expression analysis, presenting
