High-Throughput Cardiotoxicity Screening Using Mature Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocyte Monolayers

This protocol is significant because it enables researchers to mature commercial or in-house-made hiPSC-CMs to an adult-like phenotype that significantly improves the predictive value of hiPSC-CMs in cardiotoxicity screening. The main advantage of this protocol is that it delivers mature hiPSC-CMs in a high throughput format for optical mapping of…

The role of ATXR6 expression in modulating genome stability and transposable element repression in Arabidopsis

Significance The plant-specific H3K27me1 methyltransferases ATXR5 and ATXR6 play integral roles connecting epigenetic silencing with genomic stability. However, how H3K27me1 relates to these processes is poorly understood. In this study, we performed a comprehensive transcriptome analysis of tissue- and ploidy-specific expression in a hypomorphic atxr5/6 mutant and revealed that the…

low FRiP(Fraction of Reads in Peaks) score in ATAC-seq

Hi. I’m doing ATAC-seq analysis of colon tissue. I analyzed 1)QC -> 2)Mapping -> 3)Post alignment processing(remove mt reads, duplicated reads, multi-mapped reads) -> 4)Peak calling order. However, as a result of calculating FRiP after peak calling using MACS2, the FRiP score was too low. No major problems were found…

Gene expression profiling of contralateral dorsal root gangl

Introduction Mirror-image pain (MIP) is a mysterious pain phenomenon which is accompanied with many clinical pain conditions.1 MIP develops from the healthy body region which is contralateral to the actual injured site.1–3 MIP is typically characterized by increased mechanical hypersensitivity on the uninjured mirror-image body side.4 It can be triggered…
