Although the gut microbiome plays important roles in host physiology, health and disease, we lack understanding of the complex interplay between host genetics and early life environment on the microbial and metabolic composition of the gut. We used the genetically diverse Collaborative Cross mouse s...
Early environmental experiences and life histories profoundly influence adult phenotypes via as yet poorly understood mechanisms. We previously showed that wild-type adult C. elegans that transiently passed through the stress-induced dauer larval stage (post-dauers) exhibit different gene expression...
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed by a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, and function in diverse biological processes. Numerous miRNAs have been identified in Bombyx mori, but the temporal expression profiles of miRNAs corresponding to each stage transition over the entire life cycle of...
