Project description:To explore the bacterial community profile of the gut of the African palm weevil and to identify the abundance and diversity of lignin degradation-associated bacteria in each gut segment.
Project description:Affymetrix single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array data were collected to study genome-wide patterns of genomic variation across a broad geographical range of Island Southeast Asian populations. This region has experienced an extremely complex admixture history. Initially settled ~50,000 years ago, Island Southeast Asia has since been the recipient of multiple waves of population movements, most recently by Austronesian-speaking groups ultimately from Neolithic mainland Asia and later arrivals during the historic era from India and the Middle East. We have genotyped SNPs in ~500 individuals from 30 populations spanning this entire geographical region, from communities close to mainland Asia through to New Guinea. Particular attention has been paid to genomic data that are informative for population history, including the role of recent arrivals during the historic era and admixture with archaic hominins.
Project description:The microarray experiment compare the transcriptome of PV-4 wild type versus the deltahemH1 mutant, a PPIX accumulating strain. Only part of the data is used in the manuscript and we are working on this dataset for future manuscripts
