Project description:The rise of PM2.5 in air pollution correlates with increased disease exacerbation, especially in asthma. This study aims to examine how Chiang-Mai, Thailand PM2.5 (CM-PM2.5) affects innate immune responses in primary human monocytes. A transcriptomic profile was obtained from cells that were stimulated with low and high doses of CM-PM2.5 (5 and 20 μg/ml) for 24 hr. The data indicated that primary human monocytes respond to CM-PM2.5 in a dose-dependent manner. The pyrimidine ribonucleotide metabolism was predominant in both datasets, but the suppression of glycolytic rate was found in high doses of CM-PM2.5 stimulation. The upregulation of the key metabolic genes was unable to compensate for the suppression. Moreover, CM-PM2.5 priming induced immune tolerance during subsequent LPS stimulation in primary human monocytes from asthma.
Project description:Primary objectives: The primary objective is to investigate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via deep sequencing for mutation detection and by whole genome sequencing for copy number analyses before start (baseline) with regorafenib and at defined time points during administration of regorafenib for treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients in terms of overall survival (OS).

Project description:One ONT-ULK sequencing run from the kidney of a single male CDMR (Bathyergus suillus) sample used to make the mBatSui1.1.primary genome assembly as an evolutionary comparator to our telomere-to-telomere naked mole-rat genome assembly. Specifically, we assembled a CDMR from a wild-derived sample in South African cape and sequenced in Toronto, Canada, using PacBio HiFi (89 Gb, read N50 = 18 Kb) and ONT-ULK (55 Gb, read N50 = 43 Kb) reads (contig N50 = 33 Mb, Compleasm S = 99%, QV = 71.0). This accession stores the ONT-ULK data for this assembly.
