Project description:Ten cattle have been challenged with two Lumpy Skin Disease Virus (LSDV). They were sampled for whole blood immediately before (pre) and three and seven days after (post) infection challenge with two virus strains (H vs. O). The whole RNA-sequencing was done, and 150bp paired reads were assembled as the transcriptome. It was then computationally analyzed to find the differentially expressed genes (DGE) that enrich the gene ontology (GO) terms and KEGG pathways. Depending on the challenged LSDV strain, they influence the host response differently.
Project description:Non-canonical microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short endogenous RNA molecules with the ability to control development, autophagy, apoptosis and the stress response in eukaryotes by pairing with partially complementary sites in the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of targeted genes. Recent studies have demonstrated that miRNAs serve as critical effectors in intricate networks of host-pathogen interactions. Thereforce, the differential expression of miRNAs were evaluated in Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) NADL (100 TCID50/ 0.1 ml) for 6 h compared to normal MDBK cells using Solexa high-throughput sequencing technology (BGI, China).
