Project description:VSMCs expressing SCA1 have increased proliferative capacity (Dobnikar et al, 2018; Worssam et al, 2022; Pan et al, 2020). We therefore, mapped chromatin accessibility changes using bulk ATAC-seq for SCA1+ and SCA1- lineage traced VSMCs.

Project description:We profile single cells from patients with colorectum cancer using Chromium 3’ and 5’ single-cell RNA-sequencing. Patients EXT001, EXT009, and EXT012 from the KUL dataset were first analyzed by Lee et al., 2020, and the raw data are available in ArrayExpress under the accession codes E-MTAB-8410 and E-MTAB-8107. Patients EXT018, EXT048, EXT113, and EXT121 from KUL dataset were previously analyzed by Joanito et al., 2022. The raw data of those patients are available in EGA under the accession codes EGAD00001008584 and EGAD00001008585.
Project description:Vibrio species are recognized for their role in food- and water-borne diseases in humans, fish, and aquatic invertebrates. We screened bacterial strains isolated from raw food shrimp for those that are bactericidal to Vibrio strains. Here we identify and characterize Aeromonas dhakensis strain A603 which shows robust bactericidal activity specifically towards Vibrio and related taxa but less potency toward other Gram-negative species. Using the A603 genome and genetic analysis, we show that two antibacterial mechanisms account for its vibriocidal activity -- a highly potent Type Six Secretion System (T6SS) and biosynthesis of a vibriocidal phenazine-like small molecule, named here as Ad-Phen. Further analysis indicates coregulation between Ad-Phen and a pore-forming T6SS effector TseC, which potentiates V. cholerae to killing by Ad-Phen.
