Project description:Intervention type:DRUG. Intervention1:Huaier, Dose form:GRANULES, Route of administration:ORAL, intended dose regimen:20 to 60/day by either bulk or split for 3 months to extended term if necessary. Control intervention1:None.
Primary outcome(s): For mRNA libraries, focus on mRNA studies. Data analysis includes sequencing data processing and basic sequencing data quality control, prediction of new transcripts, differential expression analysis of genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and the KEGG pathway database are used for annotation and enrichment analysis of up-regulated genes and down-regulated genes.
For small RNA libraries, data analysis includes sequencing data process and sequencing data process QC, small RNA distribution across the genome, rRNA, tRNA, alignment with snRNA and snoRNA, construction of known miRNA expression pattern, prediction New miRNA and Study of their secondary structure Based on the expression pattern of miRNA, we perform not only GO / KEGG annotation and enrichment, but also different expression analysis.. Timepoint:RNA sequencing of 240 blood samples of 80 cases and its analysis, scheduled from June 30, 2022..
Project description:Limited systems-level understanding of CO2 concentrating mechanism (CCM) and metabolic adaption in response to different CO2-level in wild oleaginous algae has hindered the development of microalgal feedstock and the knowledge of its role in global warming and oceanic acidification. Nannochloropsis are a group of small unicellular microalgae widely distributed in oceans and fresh water, which implies that it plays a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles impinged on global climate change. In addition, Nannochloropsis has been used for flue gas fixation in many large-scale and pilot-scale outdoor cultivation facilities for photosynthetic production of fuels and chemicals. To untangle the intricate genome-wide networks underlying CCM and metabolic adjustment under different CO2 concentrations in Nannochloropsis, we applied high-throughput mRNA-sequencing and reconstructed the structure and dynamics of the genome-wide functional network underlying robust microalgal CCM and in Nannochloropsis oceanica, by tracking the genome-wide, single-base-resolution transcript change for the complete time-courses of different CO2 concentrations.
Project description:Primary objectives: The primary objective is to investigate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via deep sequencing for mutation detection and by whole genome sequencing for copy number analyses before start (baseline) with regorafenib and at defined time points during administration of regorafenib for treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients in terms of overall survival (OS).
