Profiling of Mili and Miwi2 associated piRNAs in WT, MiliDAH, Miwi2DAH and Miwi2KO from E16.5 gonadocytes.
Profiling of Mili and Miwi2 associated piRNAs in WT, MiliDAH, Miwi2DAH and Miwi2KO from E16.5 gonadocytes.
MiliDAH and Miwi2DAH mice were crossed with Oct4/GFP trangenic mice to label germ cells with eGFP. To isolate E16.5 and postnatal day 7 germ cells, single cell suspensions of testis were obtained by two step enzymatic digestion and GFP-positive FACS-sorted. Mili and Miwi2 RNPs were immunoprecipitated as described in Reuter, M. et al. (2009). Small RNA libraries were generated with the protocol described in Hafner M. et al. (2008) but using adaptors suitable for sequencing on the Ilumina platform.
