Project description:Large amounts of carbon sequestered in permafrost are becoming available for microbial degradation. We investigated 1,529 microbial metagenome-assembled genomes recovered from our site to understand carbon processing in this environment. Metabolic reconstruction, supported by metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic data, revealed key populations involved in organic matter degradation, including bacteria encoding a pathway for xylose degradation only previously identified in fungi.
Project description:Equine lameller tissues were collected to compare normal vs laminitis generated differences in transcriptom level. Experiment Overall Design: Three Laminitis generated vs three normal Equine hoof tissues were subjected to comparison analysis in transcriptom level by using the Affymetrix Bovine GeneChip. Experiment Overall Design: The reasons for Bovine chip were; 1) Genetic similarity to Equine. Experiment Overall Design: 2) More transcriptom was search at that Affymetrix platform comparing the Equine GeneChip at the time of the study.
