Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play multiple key regulatory roles in various biological processes. However, their function in influenza A virus (IAV) pathogenicity remains largely unexplored. Here, using next generation sequencing, we systemically compared the whole-transcriptome response of the mouse lung infected either with high-pathogenic (A/Chicken/Jiangsu/k0402/2010, CK10) or with nonpathogenic (A/Goose/Jiangsu/k0403/2010, GS10) H5N1 strains. A total of 370 significantly differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs from three replicates were identified associated with the high virulence of CK10, whereas the corresponding number for GS10 was 229.
Project description:Custom made functional gene micoarray (E-FGA) consisting of 13,056 mRNA-enriched anonymus microbial clones from dirverse microbial communities to profile microbial gene transcript in agricultural soils with low and high flux of N2O. A total of 96 genes displayed expression that differed significantly between low and high N2O emitting soils. Creation and validation of an cDNA microarray from environmental microbial mRNA, to use as a monitoring tool for microbial gene expression
Project description:Protein lysine acylation, such as succinylation and acetylation are important posttranslational modification (PTM) mechanisms, with key roles in the regulation of diverse metabolic and cellular processes. Antibody-based affinity enrichment, high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis and integrated bioinformatics analysis, were used to characterize the lysine succinylome (Ksuc) and acetylome (Kace) in rice leaves. Rice (Oryza sativa., Wuyunjing 7) was kindly provided byJiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Jiangsu Province, China. Rice seeds were surface-sterilized with 5% NaClO for 20 min, washed extensively with distilled water and then germinated in distilled water at 28ºC for 2 days. Germinated seeds were cultivated on half-strength ammonium-free Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. For oxidative stress treatments, 14-days-old rice seedlings were transferred to 1/2 MS medium in the absence or presence of 1 mM H2O2 for 6 days. Rice seedlings were then harvested for protein extraction.
Project description:Comparison of the transcriptome profiles of a widely commercialized maize MON810 variety and its non-GM near-isogenic counterpart grown in agricultural fields. The Helen variety was commercialized by Limagrain Iberica. Variety Helen B was obtained by Advanta; authorized the 11/08/2005; now commercialized by Limagrain Iberica. The insert integrated into the maize genome contains: Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S promoter + maize HSP70 intron (partial) + synthetic sequence coding for the Bacillus thuringensis CRYIA(b) insecticidal protein (truncated).

Project description:This dataset reports the UPLC-QTof MS untargeted analysis of Vitis vinifera L. leaves, collected from Italy (Trentino) and Germany (Mecklenburg West-Pomerania), from two fungus-resistant grape varieties (PIWI), Regent and Phoenix. For each variety, 40 leaves were sampled from 10 plants (4 leaves/plant) in Italy, and other 40 with the same process in Germany. The leaves from each plant were homogenized and extracted separately, in the same day, under a randomized order. A quality control (QC) sample was prepared by pooling a small aliquot from each sample. </p> The aim of the project, was to use this sample/data set as an illustrative example for the use the pipeline MetaDB (https://github.com/rmylonas/MetaDB). MetaDB has been developed in order to combine, with a user-friendly web based, different bioinformatic tools used in metabolomics, which takes care a) metadata organization, b) creation of randomized sequences including QC sample, c) data quality evaluation, d) data storage organization, e) data analysis and f) submission to public repositories.
