Project description:Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause meningitis and sepsis in both pigs and humans. In this study,we evaluated the genetic difference of 40 Streptococcus suis strains belonging to various sequence types by comparative genomic hybridization to identify genes associated with the variation in pathogenicity using NimbleGen’s tilling microarray platform. Application of Comparative Phylogenomics to Identify Genetic Differences Relating to Pathogenicity of Streptococcus suis
Project description:Experiment evaluating aplicability of PlasTi-microarray for cross-species hybridization studies. PlasTi-microarray is a tiling oligonucleotide microarray originally designed for cucumber plastome analysis.Chloroplast RNA from Arabidopsis, tomato and spinach leaves was extracted, labelled and hybridized to PlasTi-microarray with the cucumber samples labelled with the second dye as a control. For each species, one biological sample and one technical replicate (labelled in a dye-swap orientation) were analyzed, resulting in two microarray hybridizations per species and six microarrays (a-f) in total.
Project description:Plastid phylogenomics clarifies broad-level relationships in Bulbophyllum (Orchidaceae) and provides insights into range evolution of Australasian section Adelopetalum.
