Project description:Leishmania donovani WHO reference strain MHOM/IN/80/DD8 and Leptomonas seymouri isolates Ld 2001 and Ld39 were used for proteome analysis which were originally isolated from clinical cases of kala azar patients with different inherent antimonial sensitivities. Ld 2001 was Sb-S and Ld 39 was Sb-R. The genome sequencing of these isolates had confirmed co-infection with Leptomonas.
Project description:Candida lusitaniae is an emerging human opportunistic yeast, which can switch from yeast to pseudohyphae, and one of the rare Candida species capable of sexual reproduction. Its haploid genome and the genetic tools available make it a model of interest to study gene function. This study describes the consequences of DPP3 inactivation on cell morphology and mating, both altered in the dpp3Δ knock-out. Interestingly, reintroducing a wild-type copy of the DPP3 gene in the dpp3Δ mutant failed to restore the wild-type phenotypes. Proteomic analyses showed that about 150 proteins were statistically deregulated in the dpp3Δ mutant, and that most of them did not return to their wild-type level in the reconstituted DPP3 strain. The analysis of the segregation of the dpp3Δ mutation and the phenotypes in the progeny of a cross (between the dpp3Δ knock-out and a wild-type strain) showed that the phenotypes are not linked to dpp3Δ, but to a secondary mutation. Genome sequencing of the dpp3Δ mutant allowed us to identify this secondary mutation.
Project description:We sequenced and analyzed the genome of a highly inbred miniature Chinese pig strain, the Banna Minipig Inbred Line (BMI). we conducted whole genome screening using next generation sequencing (NGS) technology and performed SNP calling using Sus Scrofa genome assembly Sscrofa11.1.
Project description:Using an integrated systems approach, the expressed proteome of B. diazoefficiens strain 110scp4 was measured under i) normal, oxic growth, and ii) microoxic growth condtions. This included, as a first step, the sequencing and de novo assembly of the genome of this widely used rhizobial model strain, which turned out to harbor several deletions and insertions compared to the B. diazoefficiens USDA 110 NCBI reference genome. With this optimal basis in hand, a shotgun proteomics approach relying on a slightly adapated FASP protocol was carried out, allowing to identify 2900 (oxia) and 2826 (microoxia) proteins, respectively, thereby largely expanding the proteome known to be expressed under microoxic conditions.
Project description:The 791spin is the spinosad-selected strain derived from 791a, a laboratory strain derived from a multi-resistant field-collected sample of houseflies. The 791a strain proved highly resistant to pyrethroids and some anticholinesterases and showed some resistance to the chitin synthesis-disrupting larvicides.In order to understand the evolution of insecticide resistance, de novo assembly of a spinosad resistant housefly strain 791spin using 454 technology was initiated
