Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array (chicken)
Description
Domestic chicken has been intensively studied because of its role as an efficient source of lean meat. However, commercial broilers resulting from genetic selection for rapid growth demonstrate detrimental traits, such as excess deposition of abdominal adipose tissue, metabolic disorders, and reduced reproduction. Therefore fast-growing broilers represent obese chickens compared to slow-growing egg layers (e.g, Leghorn) or wild strain of meat-type chickens (e.g., Fayoumi). Fayoumi chickens, originating from Egypt, represent a harder stain of chickens, which are more resistant to diseases. Leghorn chickens are the original breed of commercial U.S layers. Both lines were maintained highly inbred by Iowa State University poultry geneticists with an inbreeding coefficient higher than 0.95. Both Fayoumi and Leghorn demonstrated lean phenotype compared to broilers, and these three lines of chickens are genetically distant from each other.
Publication Title
Molecular and metabolic profiles suggest that increased lipid catabolism in adipose tissue contributes to leanness in domestic chickens.

Description
Among the dendritic cell (DC) subsets, plasmacytoid DCs are thought to be important in both generating antiviral and antitumor responses. These cells may be useful in developing dendritic cell-based tumor vaccines, however, the rarity of these cells in the peripheral blood have hampered attempts to understand their biology. To provide better insight into the biology of plasmacytoid DCs, we isolated these cells from the peripheral blood of healthy donors in order to further characterize their gene expression. Using gene array technology we compared the genetic profiles of these cells to those of CD14+ monocytes isolated from the same donors and found several immune related genes upregulated in this cell population. Understanding the genetic profiles of this dendritic cell subtype as well as others such as the BDCA-1 expressing myeloid DCs may enable us to manipulate these cells ex-vivo to generate enhanced DC-based tumor vaccines inducing more robust antitumor responses.

Description
Circadian control of gene expression has been established in plants at the transcriptional level, but relatively little is known about circadian control of translation. We used polysome profiling to characterize regulation of transcription and translation over a 24-hour diurnal cycle in Arabidopsis, both in wild type and in plants with a disrupted clock due to constitutive overexpression of the CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 gene (CCA1-ox, AGI AT2G46830).

Description
Genetically encoded unnatural amino acids provide powerful strategies for modulating the molecular functions of proteins in mammalian cells. However this approach has not been coupled to genome-wide measurements, because efficient unnatural amino acid incorporation is limited to readily transfectable cells and leads to very heterogeneous expression. We demonstrate that rapid piggybac integration of the orthogonal pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylS)/tRNAPyl CUA pair (and its derivatives) into the mammalian genome enables efficient, homogeneous unnatural amino acid incorporation into target proteins in diverse cells, and we reveal the distinct transcriptional responses of ES cells and MEFs to amber suppression. Genetically encoding Ne-acetyl-lysine in place of six lysine residues in histone H3, that are known to be post-translationally acetylated, enables deposition of pre-acetylated histones into cellular chromatin, via a synthetic pathway that is orthogonal to enzymatic modification, allowing us to determine the consequences of acetylation at specific amino acids in histones on gene expression. Overall design: mRNA was sequenced using polyA-enrichment and Truseq library preparation protocol. Two biological replicates were sequences for each cell line and condition

Description
MLL1 translocations encode fusion proteins retaining the N-terminus of MLL1, which interacts with the tumor suppressor, menin. This interaction is essential for leukemogenesis, thus is a promising drug target. However, wild-type MLL1 plays a critical role in sustaining hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), therefore disruption of an essential MLL1 cofactor would be expected to obliterate normal hematopoiesis. Here we show that rather than working together as a complex, menin and MLL1 regulate distinct pathways during normal hematopoiesis, particularly in HSCs and B-cells. We demonstrate the lack of genetic interaction between menin and MLL1 in steady-state or regenerative hematopoiesis and in B-cell differentiation despite the fact that MLL1 is critical for these processes. In B-cells, menin- or MLL1-regulated genes can be classified into three categories: 1) a relatively small group of co-regulated genes including previously described targets Hoxa9 and Meis1 but also Mecom and Eya1, and much larger groups of 2) exclusively menin-regulated and 3) exclusively MLL1-regulated genes. Our results highlight the large degree of independence of these two proteins and demonstrate that menin is not a requisite cofactor for MLL1 during normal hematopoiesis. Furthermore, our data support the development of menin-MLL1 disrupting drugs as safe and selective leukemia targeting agents.

Description
Quaking are RNA binding proteins, which are known to regulate the expression of different genes at the post-transcriptional level. Genetic interference with quaking a (qkia) and quaking c (qkic) leads to major myofibril defects during zebrafish development, without affecting early muscle differentiation. In order to understand how qkia and qkic jointly regulate myofibril formation, we performed a comparative analysis of the transcriptome of qkia/qkic (qkia mutant injected with qkic morpholino) versus control embryos. We show that Quaking activity is required for accumulation of the muscle-specific tropomyosin 3 transcript, tpm3.1. Whereas interference with tmp3.1 function disrupts myofibril formation, reintroducing tpm3.1 transcripts into embryos with reduced Quaking activity can restore structured myofibrils. Thus, we identify tropomyosin as an essential component in the process of myofibril formation and as a relay downstream of the regulator proteins Quaking. Overall design: Transcriptome of control versus qkia/qkic embryos at 24-26hpf. Biological triplicate were prepared for both condition (3x2 samples).
