Genome-Wide Identification of Cell Type Specific Transcription Factor Targets During Drosophilia Embyrogenesis Jessica Osterhout
How are the same transcription factors used multiple times throughout development to specify dramatically different cell fates? Do they bind and regulate the same target genes in all cases or do they regulates distinct targets in each cell type? Transcription factors to be tested: Eve Hb
Chromatin Immunoprecipitaiton followed by sequencing (ChIP-Seq)
FLAG Hb Composite HA Hb Composite Hb Antibody Stains Blastoderm: stage 5
FLAGHbComposite Stage 16
Hb Western Blots Yw Hb Stained with Tub Stained with FLAG
FLAGHA Eve Antibody Stains
Eve Western Blot
To make sure tag does not disrupt Hb protein function: Recombined with two known null alleles to see if tagged Hb rescues.
Future Direction: ChIP-Seq with HA or FLAG at each stage of development
