Project description:Contrast the genomes of different elephants species to find genetic differences underlying species differences like immune system differences that impact disease resistance.
Project description:<p>A genome-wide analysis of genetic structure, gene flow, and natural selection was conducted in populations in the endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL) belt in Ghana and Northern Uganda, both subject to a high incidence of falciparum malaria and eBL. These populations have different ethnolinguistic ancestries and are located 2400 miles apart in sub-Saharan Africa. We characterized genetic composition of these populations in the context of 22 additional African populations and present evidence for gene flow events that occurred in the last 3000 years, possibly related to regional migrations in Western Africa and major migrations involving Nilotic, Cushitic, and Bantu groups. The Ugandan population was comprised of 758 children (mean age ~7 years) from 17 Western Nilo-Saharan tribes. The current dataset includes 561 healthy children and 197 children with eBL from northern Uganda.</p>
Project description:Transcriptome profiling of pyrethroid resistant field populations of Anopheles funestus across Uganda and neighboring Kenya from Uganda and Kenya compared to a susceptible lab strain FANG
Project description:Trypanosoma brucei were isolated from cattle, in Bunya, Uganda (Tb065BAPC) or Apuru, Uganda (Tb098AAPC). Parasites were stored as stabilities after a single mouse passage. After a further mouse passage the parasites were grown in rats to the parasitaemias indicated, isolated on DEAE cellulose and RNA was prepared. We also compared rRNA depletion with poly(A) selection.
Project description:We used next generation sequencing to analyze the effects of Zika virus (ZIKV) strains Uganda and French Polynesia on intracellular and extracellular vesicle (EV) derived miRNA profiles of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived human neural stem cells (long-term self-renewing neuroepithelial-like stem (lt-NES®) cells) - particularly to identify dysregulated miRNAs which are associated with the microcephaly phenotype.

Project description:Serial dilution shapes genetic variation and defines conservation units in Asian Elephants
Project description:we mapped the locations of DNA segments occupied by GATA1 using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). We have produced genome-wide GATA1 ChIP datasets after restoration and activation in G1E-ER4 cells. we employed the sequence census methodology of ChIP-seq , using Illumina GA2 technology to produce 23 million reads (36 nucleotides long) uniquely mapped to the mouse genome (mm8 assembly) for the GATA1 ChIP DNA and 15 million mapped reads for the input DNA Examination of transcription factor GATA1 occupancy
