Project description:In Drosophila, we tried to determine the microbiota associated with age-dependent sleep fragmentation. To this end, the aged male flies showing sleep fragmentation was sampled to compare with those without showing sleep fragmentation. Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we obtained about 0.1 million reads of 16s rDNA from single flies. Data indicated different microbiome between two groups.
Project description:Prostate of SD rats was injected with 0.1 ml 1% carrageenan to induce chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, and the control rats injected with sterile saline. Then, the cecal contents were collected for 16S rDNA sequencing.
Project description:The relationship between the microbial changes with clinical-pathological outcomes are still far from being conclusive. Herein, we investigate the ability of metagenomics (MG) and metaproteomics (MP) saliva data in distinguishing C, L0 and L1 patients. For that, we combined two strategies using MG analysis using 16S rDNA sequencing of saliva cells, and MP analysis using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry of saliva supernatant and cells.
Project description:4C procedure was used for analysis of genomic contacts of rDNA units in HEK 293T cells. The primers for 4C were selected inside IGS. Our data indicate that mostly rDNA units exhibit close proximity with pericentromeric regions in different chromosomes. We also detected the contacts within a rDNA unit and between rDNA units. Examination of rDNA genome-wide contacts in HEK 293T cells using 4C approach.
