Project description:There are very few studies exploring the genetic diversity of tick-borne encephalitis complex viruses. Most of the viruses have been sequenced using capillary electrophoresis, however, very few viruses have been analyzed using deep sequencing to look at the genotypes in each virus population. In this study, different viruses and strains belonging to the tick-borne encephalitis complex were sequenced and genetic diversity was analyzed. Shannon entropy and single nucleotide variants were used to compare the viruses. Then genetic diversity was compared to the phylogenetic relationship of the viruses.
Project description:In the present investigation, the genetic diversity architecture of 96 deep-water rice genotypes of Assam and association mapping strategy was, for the first time, applied to determine the significant SNPsand genes for deep-water rice. These genotypes are known for their unique elongation ability under deep-water condition.The internode elongation under water related genes will be identified here can provide affluent resources for rice breeding especially in flood-prone areas. We investigated the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using 50 K rice genic SNPchip across 96 deep-water rice genotypes collected from different flood-prone districts/villages of Assam.
Project description:Recent studies have unveiled the deep sea as a rich biosphere, populated by species descended from shallow-water ancestors post-mass extinctions. Research on genomic evolution and microbial symbiosis has shed light on how these species thrive in extreme deep-sea conditions. However, early adaptation stages, particularly the roles of conserved genes and symbiotic microbes, remain inadequately understood. This study examined transcriptomic and microbiome changes in shallow-water mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis exposed to deep-sea conditions at the Site-F cold seep in the South China Sea. Results reveal complex gene expression adjustments in stress response, immune defense, homeostasis, and energy metabolism pathways during adaptation. After 10 days of deep-sea exposure, shallow-water mussels and their microbial communities closely resembled those of native deep-sea mussels, demonstrating host and microbiome convergence in response to adaptive shifts. Notably, methanotrophic bacteria, key symbionts in native deep-sea mussels, emerged as a dominant group in the exposed mussels. Host genes involved in immune recognition and endocytosis correlated significantly with the abundance of these bacteria. Overall, our analyses provide insights into adaptive transcriptional regulation and microbiome dynamics of mussels in deep-sea environments, highlighting the roles of conserved genes and microbial community shifts in adapting to extreme environments.

Project description:Despite the fact that deep sea mining is becoming more popular nowadays in terms of obtaining metals ores for daily life purposes, its potential impact to the deep sea habitat, which is originally stable and converse, stills remains uncertain. In order to estimate and regulate the imapct of deep sea mining activities, an in-situ exposure experiment is performed to observe the change in proteomics expression of the deep-sea scvangers, Abyssorchomene distinctus, to copper exposure. This project aims to suggest a potenial protein bio-marker in Abyssorchomene distinctus to assess the impact of mining activities towards deep sea organisms and also discuss the potential application of other deep sea in-situ exposure experiment in the future.
Project description:Natural epigenetic variation provides a source for the generation of phenotypic diversity, but to understand its contribution to phenotypic diversity, its interaction with genetic variation requires further investigation.
