Project description:Longitudinal analysis of Salmonella typhimurium mRNA from superspeader mouse cecal content and stool compared to in vitro Salmonella typhimurium mRNA.
Project description:Small RNA-Seq analysis of on stool samples from an Italian cohort of 120 healthy individuals with three dietary habits. The cohort includes 72 women and 48 men included an equal proportion of vegetarians, vegans and omnivores.
Project description:Cardioviruses are a genus of picornaviruses that cause severe illnesses in rodents, but little is known about the prevalence, diversity, or spectrum of disease of such agents among humans. We report the identification of a group of human cardioviruses that have been detected and cloned directly from patient specimens (Chiu and DeRisi, et al, PNAS, 2008). This series includes 9 arrays (both raw and normalized data) used to detect cardioviruses in human respiratory and stool specimens. The arrays employed here are capable of pan-viral detection (Wang and DeRisi, et al., PNAS, 2002). Keywords: viral detection, cardiovirus, TMEV, gastroenteritis The series includes 3 arrays from respiratory samples and 6 arrays from stool samples. Among the 3 arrays from respiratory sample, 1 array has a signature for an adenovirus, 1 array has a signature for human metapneumovirus, and 1 array has a signature for cardiovirus UC1 (see Chiu and DeRisi, et al., PNAS, in 2008). All 6 arrays from stool samples are cardiovirus-positive; some show evidence of dual infection with other gastroenteritis viruses (i.e. norovirus, rotavirus, etc.).
