Description
To probe the tissue source (cancer cell VS stromal cell) of gene expression in the mixed tumor samples, we took advantage of a set of Urothelial Cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models given that the transcriptome in these models is a mixture of human RNA (derived from cancer cells) and mouse RNA (derived from stromal cells). Overall design: The cohort includes 5 different patient-derived PDX models, 3 replicates for each model, and thus a total of 15 samples

Description
Current pipelines used to map genetrap insertion sites are based on inverse- or splinkerette-PCR methods, which despite their efficacy are prone to artifacts and do not provide information on the impact of the genetrap on the expression of the targeted gene. We developed a new method, which we named TrapSeq, for the mapping of genetrap insertions based on paired-end RNA sequencing. By recognizing chimeric mRNAs containing genetrap sequences spliced to an endogenous exon, our method identifies insertions that lead to productive trapping. Overall design: We conducted two independent screenings for sensitivity against 6-thioguanine (6TG) and an ATR inhibitor (ATRi). We applied our RNAseq-based pipeline (TrapSeq) to identify mutations that provide resistance to these reagents. Importantly, and besides its use for screenings, when applied to individual clones our method provides a fast and cost-effective way that not only identifies the insertion site of the genetrap but also reveals the impact of the insertion on the expression of the trapped gene. Please note that HAP1, haploid for all chromosomes, derives from near-haploid KBM7 parent line which was in turn obtained from a chronic myeloid leukemia patient in blast crisis phase (Carette et al. Nature 477:340-343, 2011).

Description
The RNA-binding protein FUS is implicated in transcription, alternative splicing of neuronal genes and DNA repair. Mutations in FUS have been linked to human neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). We genetically disrupted fus in zebrafish (Danio rerio) using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. The fus knockout animals are fertile and did not show any distinctive phenotype. Mutation of fus induces mild changes in gene expression on the transcriptome and proteome level in the adult brain. We observed a significant influence of genetic background on gene expression and 3’UTR usage, which could mask the effects of loss of Fus. Unlike published fus morphants, maternal zygotic fus mutants do not show motoneuronal degeneration and exhibit normal locomotor activity. Overall design: We performed paired-end sequencing (100bp reads) of the polyA+ transcriptome from brains of five individuals with Fus-/- genotype and four with Fus wild type genotype. Note on RNA-Seq replicates: after performing first RNA sequencing on four replicates of Fus-/- and WT (labeled with the prefix "Sample_imb_ketting_2014_13_") we received a notice from Illumina stating a problem with the library preparation kit lot that was used to prepare the libraries. Due to that, we performed RNA sequencing a second time, using the same input RNA, except for the Fus knockout replicate #3, because there was not enough input RNA left. Instead, a different Fus knockout replicate (#1) was sequenced. However, we compared the mapped reads from sequencing run 1 and sequencing run 2 using plotCorrelaction from DeepTools, and the samples are highly correlated (at least 0.97 and 0.95, Spearman and Pearson correlation respectively). Therefore, we considered first ("Sample_imb_ketting_2014_13_") and second sequencing runs as technical replicates.

Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
We performed a microarray experiment to assess the global changes in transcription occurring in leaves and roots of the vitamin B6 deficient pdx1.3 knockout mutant in comparison to WT. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5-phosphate) is an essential cofactor of many metabolic enzymes. Plants biosynthesize the vitamin de novo employing two enzymes, pyridoxine synthase1 (PDX1) and PDX2. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), there are two catalytically active paralogs of PDX1 (PDX1.1 and PDX1.3) producing the vitamin at comparable rates. Since single mutants are viable but the pdx1.1 pdx1.3 double mutant is lethal, the corresponding enzymes seem redundant.

Consequences of a deficit in vitamin B6 biosynthesis de novo for hormone homeostasis and root development in Arabidopsis.

Description
Growth of the drosophila eye imaginal discs is controlled by the activation of Notch in the dorsal-ventral boundary. Overexpression in the eye disc of the Notch ligand Delta together with lola and pipsqueak from the GS(2)88A8 line induces tumoral growth. We used microarray to analyze the expression profile of tumoral discs.

Description
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer opportunity for insight into the genetic requirements of the X chromosome for somatic and germline development. Turner syndrome is caused by complete or partial loss of the second sex chromosome; while more than 90% of Turner cases result in spontaneous fetal loss, survivors display an array of somatic and germline clinical characteristics. Here, we derived iPSCs from Turner syndrome and control individuals and examined germ cell development as a function of X chromosome composition. We analyzed gene expression profiles of derived iPSCs and in vitro differentiated cells by single cell qRT-PCR and RNA-seq. We whoed that two X chromosomes are not necessary for reprogramming or pluripotency maintenance. Genes that escape X chromosome inactivation (XCI) between control iPSCs and those with X chromosome aneuploidies revealed minimal expression differences relative to a female hESC line. Moreover, when we induced germ cell differentiation via murine xenotransplantation of iPSC lines into the seminiferous tubules of busulfan-treated mice, we observed that undifferentiated iPSCs, independent of X chromosome composition, when placed within the correct somatic environment, are capable of forming early germ cells in vivo. Results indicate that two intact X chromosomes are not required for germ cell formation; however, clinical data suggest that two sex chromosomes are required for maintenance of human germ cells. Overall design: RNA-seq of H9 cells, iPSCs from Turner syndrome and control individuals and in vitro differentiated cells

Description
The pathways regulating the formation of the germinal center (GC) dark- (DZ) and light- (LZ) zones are unknown. We show that FOXO1 expression is restricted to the GC DZ and is required for DZ formation, since its absence in mice leads to the complete loss of DZ gene programs and the formation of LZ-only GCs. FOXO1-negative GC B-cells display normal somatic hypermutation, but defective affinity maturation and class switch recombination. The function of FOXO1 in sustaining the DZ program involves the transactivation of the chemokine receptor CXCR4, and the cooperation with BCL6 in the trans-repression of genes involved in immune activation, DNA-repair and plasma cell differentiation. These results have also implications for understanding the role of FOXO1 mutations in lymphomagenesis.
