Project description:We have performed RNA sequencing on kidneys from inclusion body nephropathy-affected mice and compared the data to healthy, uninfected controls. Using a metagenomics approach, we report the identification of the disease causing agent as an atypical virus, mouse kidney parvovirus (MKPV), belonging to a divergent genus of the Parvoviridae. The RNA sequencing also enabled us to assess the host response to MKPV-infection.
Project description:We have developed a generally adaptable, novel high-throughput chromosome conformation capture assay for use in trans (V3C-seq) that allows genome-wide identification of the direct associations of a lytic virus genome with discreet regions of the cellular chromosome. Upon infection, the parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice genome associated directly with sites of cellular DNA damage. These sites also exhibited damage in uninfected cells when cycling through S-phase. As infection proceeded, new sites of DNA damage were induced, and virus subsequently also associated with these.
Project description:Purpose: Porcine alveolar macrophage was infected by T. gondii including Rh strain and Me49 strain. We want to explore the change of miRNAs after infected with T. gondii in porcine alveolar macrophages. Results: Our study generated six mi RNA expression profiles from macrophages which infect with Rh strain and Me49 and control group in different time. Compare with T. gondii-infected and uninfected with T. gondii, 81 differentially expressed mi RNAs were identified, including 36 novel mi RNAs and 45 mature mi RNAs.
