Description
This sample was analyzed as part of the Stem Cell Genomics Project (http://www.scgp.ca:8080/StemBase/). The biological material was submitted to the Ontario Genomics Innovation Centre (http://www.ottawagenomecenter.ca/) by Dr. Michael Rudnicki (mrudnicki@ohri.ca; 501 Smyth Road) for analysis. Stembase Experiment ID: E59 Stembase Experiment ID link: http://www.scgp.ca:8080/StemBase/?path=/browse/experiment&id=59 SCGP Sample ID: S79 SCGP Sample ID link: http://www.scgp.ca:8080/StemBase/?path=/browse/experiment&id=59#SAMPLE_60 Short description: MyoD -/- A-C: Muscle satellite cells are a self-renewing pool of stem cells that give rise to daughter myogenic precursor cells in adult skeletal muscle. Published and preliminary data indicated that MyoD and p53 genes are involved in satellite cell differentiation. We would like to know what downstream genes of both transcription factors are affected in satellite cell-derived myoblasts (MyoD-/-, p53 -/-). Estimated purity: > 98% RNA concentration: 2.5 ug/ul Sample volume: 10 ul
Data processing
Calculated using the MAS5 algorithm where sc=1500, tau=0.015, alpha1=0.04, and alpla2=0.06
