Transcriptomic regulation during meiosis (Spo11Y135F mutant)

We studied the meiotic regulation of transcription in the mutant Spo11Y135F (deficient for the formation of meiotic double-strand breaks), by comparing the mRNA level at time t=1h to t=8h after meiosis induction, to the mRNA level at time t=0h. Keywords: yeast meiotic time course, transcriptome For each time point, we measured the level of mRNA extracted at the time point to a mRNA meiotic mix composed of mRNA extracted at each time point. We normalize this ratio to the ratio measured at time t=0h and transform into log2ratios. The experiment is carried out in duplicates, from two independant cultures.
