Transcriptional patterns of sexual dimorphism and in host developmental programs in the model parasitic nematode Heligmosomoides bakeri | Parasites & Vectors

Mapping of bulk RNA-seq data and differential gene expression (DGE) Using the splice-aware aligner STAR, we mapped the RNA-seq reads to the H. bakeri genome assembly obtained from WormBase ParaSite (PRJEB15396). Among all the datasets, 93.26–95.62% of the reads uniquely mapped to the reference genome (Table 1), reflecting the high…

CRISPR-Cas9 genetic screen leads to the discovery of L-Moses, a KAT2B inhibitor that attenuates Tunicamycin-mediated neuronal cell death

Genetic screen identifies modulators of Tun-mediated neuronal death To identify genes that ameliorate neuronal cell death caused by Tun-induced ER stress, we performed a loss-of-function pooled genetic screen using our druggable genome sgRNAs library. We first generated a clonal iPSC line that expresses Cas9 under the GAPDH promoter (Fig. 1A). We…

ANKLE1 cleaves mitochondrial DNA and contributes to cancer risk by promoting apoptosis resistance and metabolic dysregulation

ANKLE1 is the causal gene for breast and ovarian cancer risk in the chr19p13.1 region Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data have revolutionized how geneticists identify candidate causal genes from genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci. We integrated the most recent meta-analysis of breast cancer GWAS10 and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project…

Modified CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system used to learn more about the evolution of giant viruses

CRISPR/Cas9 allows manipulation of A. castellanii. a Constructs used to constitutively express Cas9 in A. castellanii. The sequence of the gRNA is depicted with diamonds followed by the Cas9-binding scaffold and an A. castellanii tRNA (yellow rectangles). The localization of the GFP-Cas9 fusion for the different constructs is shown by…

Optogenetic Phase Transition of TDP-43 in Spinal Motor Neurons of Zebrafish Larvae

We describe a protocol to induce phase transition of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) by light in the spinal motor neurons using zebrafish as a model. So this protocol enables us to induce pathological phase transitions of TDP-43 and address their cellular consequence in the spinal motor neurons in vivo,…

Ttc30a affects tubulin modifications in a model for ciliary chondrodysplasia with polycystic kidney disease

Significance Cilia are tubulin-based cellular appendages, and their dysfunction has been linked to a variety of genetic diseases. Ciliary chondrodysplasia is one such condition that can co-occur with cystic kidney disease and other organ manifestations. We modeled skeletal ciliopathies by mutating two established disease genes in Xenopus tropicalis frogs. Bioinformatic…

Can I remove the control in differential expression analysis?

Hi there, Essentially, my experimental design is control vs treatment. Cells were sorted based on fluorescence, so there are 4 different “colors” of treated cells, i.e. red, green, green+red, and blue+green+red. I am interested in how the colors differ from one another. And, I have duplicates for all colors and…
