Project description:Analysis of effects of A scoparia on gene expression in adipose tissue. Current study was designed to examine the whole-body and tissue-specific effects of A scoparia on metabolic parameters in the context of high-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance.
Project description:Resistance to the synthetic auxin herbicide fluroxypyr has an unconfirmed non-target site resistance mechanism. An RNA-Seq experiment was used to align to a reference transcriptome for the weed species Bassia scoparia to quantify gene expression and to identify sequence variants in the alignments. High gene expression was found in several genes related to metabolic degredation of the parent fluroxypyr compound.
