Trancript Based Cloning (TBC) uses standard Gene Expression techniques to quickly isolate genes of interest and begin to determine their function. Using a particular mutant phenotype, identified during a programme of mutagenesis and screning, and a wild-type control we can quickly determine a list of genes that is likely to contain the gene responsible for the phenotype. TBC is a general method for identifying and cloning important plant genes that is fast and may be applicable to almost any plant species Transcript abundance assays on the barley rar1-2 mutant and Sultan5 wild type were performed by using standard methods for the Affymetrix barley genome array (Affymetrix). For each genotype, two independent biological replicates were analyzed and pooled for analysis. Data were analyzed with DCHIP VERSION 1.3 (www.dchip.org),using data from only perfect-match oligonucleotides. Model-based analysis was performed by using perfect match-only analysis, compiling data from two biological replicates for each condition. Pairwise comparisons were analyzed for each condition, and a lower 90% confidence bound (LCB) and fold change were determined for each comparison. Gene expression changes were considered significant if the LCB was 1.4-fold or higher and if the intensities between the two conditions differed by >100. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, james hadfield.

View SamplesExpression profiling analyses for 5 maize inbreds and 4 hybrids, chosen to represent diversity in genotypes and heterosis responses, revealed a correlation between genetic diversity and transcriptional variation. The majority of differentially expressed genes in each of the different hybrids exhibited additive expression patterns, and ~25% exhibited statistically significant non-additive expression profiles. Among the non-additive profiles, ~80% exhibited hybrid expression levels between the parental levels, ~20% exhibited hybrid expression levels at the parental levels and ~1% exhibited hybrid levels outside the parental range. These findings indicate that the frequencies of additive and non-additive expression patterns are very similar across a range of hybrid lines.

View SamplesThe oocytes of most animals arrest at diplotene or diakinesis, but resume meiosis (meiotic maturation) in response to hormones. In C. elegans, maturation of the 1 oocyte requires the presence of sperm, Gas-adenylate cyclase-PKA signaling in the gonadal sheath cells, and germline function of two Tis11-like CCCH zinc-finger proteins, OMA-1 and OMA-2 (OMA proteins). Prior studies indicate that the OMA proteins redundantly repress the translation of specific mRNAs in oocytes (zif-1, mom-2, nos-2, glp-1) and early embryos (mei-1).

View SamplesThe oocytes of most animals arrest at diplotene or diakinesis, but resume meiosis (meiotic maturation) in response to hormones. In C. elegans, maturation of the –1 oocyte requires the presence of sperm, Gas-adenylate cyclase-PKA signaling in the gonadal sheath cells, and germline function of two Tis11-like CCCH zinc-finger proteins, OMA-1 and OMA-2 (OMA proteins). Prior studies indicate that the OMA proteins redundantly repress the translation of specific mRNAs in oocytes (zif-1, mom-2, nos-2, glp-1) and early embryos (mei-1). We purified OMA-1-containing ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) and identified mRNAs that associate with OMA-1 in oocytes using microarrays. We examined the relative abundances of mRNAs in OMA-1 RNPs using high-throughput RNA sequencing. Previously identified targets of OMA-dependent translational repression in oocytes were found to be both enriched (>2-fold relative to input RNA) and abundant in purified OMA-1 RNPs. Furthermore, we verified that some of the newly identified mRNAs that share these characteristics are translationally repressed by OMA-1/2 in oocytes through sequences in their 3’UTRs. Although meiotic maturation is stimulated by sperm, we found that the mRNAs copurifying with OMA-1 are not significantly different in the presence and absence of sperm, suggesting that sperm-dependent signaling does not modify the suite of mRNAs stably associated with OMA-1. Further, several tested OMA-1-associated mRNAs were shown to be translationally repressed in both the presence and absence of sperm. Overall design: C. elegans mRNAs that co-purify with OMA-1 were identified by deep-sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq 2000

View SamplesThe gut microbiota has been implicated in obesity and cardiometabolic diseases, although evidence in humans is scarce. We investigated how gut microbiota manipulation by antibiotics (7-day administration of amoxicillin, vancomycin, or placebo) affects host metabolism in 57 obese, prediabetic men. Vancomycin, but not amoxicillin, decreased bacterial diversity and reduced Firmicutes involved in short-chain fatty acid and bile acid metabolism, concomitant with altered plasma and/or fecal metabolite concentrations. Adipose tissue gene expression of oxidative pathways was upregulated by antibiotics, whereas immune-related pathways were downregulated by vancomycin. Antibiotics did not affect tissue-specific insulin sensitivity, energy/substrate metabolism, postprandial hormones and metabolites, systemic inflammation, gut permeability, and adipocyte size. Importantly, energy harvest, adipocyte size, and whole-body insulin sensitivity were not altered at 8-week follow-up, despite a still considerably altered microbial composition, indicating that interference with adult microbiota by 7-day antibiotic treatment has no clinically relevant impact on metabolic health in obese humans.
