Even after decades of living in the same laboratory environment two Drosophila melanogaster strains originating from North America (Canton-S) and Central Russia (D18) demonstrate a few differentially expressed genes some of which may be important for local adaptation (e.g. genes responsible for insecticide resistance). Genes with different level of expression between Canton-S and D18 strains belong to important metabolic pathways, for instance energy metabolism, carbohydrate metabolic process, locomotion, body temperature rhythm regulation and tracheal network architecture.

View SamplesCurrent evidence suggests that more than half of the mammalian genome is transcribed, yet how this vast transcriptome is regulated in vivo remains poorly understood. We demonstrate here an integrated, straightforward and widely applicable approach to characterize cell type-specific transcriptional programs and regulatory mechanisms by generating two genome-wide data sets. We used deep sequencing of nuclear RNA (nucRNA-Seq) to comprehensively describe the nuclear transcriptome in ex vivo murine erythroid cells. In parallel, we generated a profile of active RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) binding by chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP-Seq), allowing us to explore the relationship between RNAPII occupancy and transcriptional output in erythroid cells on a genome-wide scale. Comparative analysis of both data sets enables us to not only measure primary transcriptional output and identify genes associated with more efficient polymerase usage, but also to identify putative regulatory elements such as enhancers and novel non-coding transcripts. Application of this method to different cell types allows for the characterization of important aspects of gene regulation in a cell type-specific manner. Our findings demonstrate the complex ways in which RNAPII is associated with the genome and how this affects transcription of target genes, highlighting the importance of approaching transcriptome characterization from multiple angles.

View SamplesMicroarray is widely used to monitor gene expression changes in breast cancer. The transcriptomic changes in breast cancer is commonly occured during the transition of normal cells to cancerous cells. This is the first study on gene expression profiling of multi ethnic of Malaysian breast cancer patients (Malays, Chinese and Indian). We aim to identify differentially expressed genes between tumors and normal tissues. We have identified a set of 33 significant differentially expressed genes in the tumor vs. normal group at p<0.001.
Gene expression patterns distinguish breast carcinomas from normal breast tissues: the Malaysian context.

The link between thymic atrophy, skewed thymocyte differntiation and immunosuppression is still not fully resolved. This study investigates the TCDD elicted exprssion changes in the ET, cortical thymus epithelial cell line.
Promoter analysis of TCDD-inducible genes in a thymic epithelial cell line indicates the potential for cell-specific transcription factor crosstalk in the AhR response.

View SamplesOver-activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor by TCDD in mice leads among other phenotypes to a severe thymic atrophy accompanied by immunosuppression. TCDD causes a block in thymocyte maturation and a preferential emigration of immature CD4-CD8- DN thymocytes (recent thymic emigrants) into the periphery. As part of this study gene expression profiles from DN thymocytes and thymic emigrants were generated from TCDD and solvent control mice
