We describe a protocol for amplifying retroviral integration sites from the genomic DNA of infected cells, sequencing the amplified virus-host junctions, and then mapping these sequences to a reference genome. We also describe techniques to quantify the distribution of integration sites relative to various genomic annotations using BEDTools.

We describe herein an assay by coupling DNA adenine methyltransferase identification (DamID) to high throughput sequencing (DamID-seq). This improved method provides a higher resolution and a wider dynamic range, and allows analyzing DamID-seq data in conjunction with other high throughput sequencing data such as ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, etc.

Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California One principle of brain organization is the topographic mapping of information. Especially in sensory and motor cortices, adjacent regions of the brain tend to represent information from adjacent parts of the body, resulting in maps of the body expressed on the surface of the brain. The primary sensory and motor maps in the brain surround a prominent sulcus known as the central sulcus. The cortex...

Fate Mapping

Fate mapping is a technique used to understand how embryonic cells divide, differentiate, and migrate during development. In classic fate mapping experiments, cells in different areas of an embryo are labeled with a chemical dye and then tracked to determine which tissues or structures they form. Technological improvements now allow for individual cells to be marked and traced throughout embryonic development and adulthood. This video reviews the concepts behind fate mapping, and then details a...
FAQs
They provide different preparation states from which tissue signal can be sampled. By acquiring images after multiple inversion or saturation recovery times, the sequence captures how signal changes during longitudinal relaxation. Those measurements supply the range of signal responses needed for fitting, allowing differences in tissue relaxation behavior to be represented quantitatively rather than as a single visual contrast.
Pixel-by-pixel fitting assigns a relaxation value to each image location, preserving spatial information about tissue properties. This approach can reveal regional differences that may be obscured when an examination is judged only by overall image appearance. The resulting map supports objective comparison of areas within an organ and helps researchers relate altered values to tissue composition.
Conventional contrast primarily describes how tissues appear under particular acquisition settings, whereas T1 mapping uses signal measurements obtained under multiple preparation conditions and fits them to a relaxation model. The output is therefore a quantitative parametric map rather than only a contrast-weighted image. This distinction makes the method useful for tracking tissue-related changes more objectively.
A typical workflow begins by acquiring images with varied inversion or saturation recovery times. The signal measured at corresponding pixel locations is then related to a longitudinal relaxation model, and the model is fitted across the image series. The fitted values are assembled into a parametric map, which can subsequently be examined for regional tissue differences.
In medical research, T1 mapping can characterize tissue in the heart, brain, and liver. Researchers may examine map patterns in relation to edema, fibrosis, inflammation, or altered tissue composition. Because the measurements are spatially resolved, the method can support assessment of regional abnormalities rather than limiting interpretation to the appearance of a whole-organ image.
The quantitative values provide a basis for comparing tissue regions and examining changes over time. In studies of disease or treatment, researchers can use these measurements to assess whether tissue characteristics associated with edema, fibrosis, inflammation, or other compositional changes are altered. This supports objective monitoring alongside the broader clinical or experimental evaluation of an organ.
