We examined global gene expression profiles in amygdala (AMY), nucleus accumbens (NAC), prefrontal cortex (PFC) and Liver of male C57BL/6J mice exposed to 4 cycles of chronic intermittent ethanol (CIE) vapor. Animals were sacrificed at 0, 8, and 120 hr following the last ethanol exposure. Mice were ...
Physiological function, disease expression and drug effects vary by time-of-day. Clock disruption in mice results in cardio-metabolic, immunological and neurological dysfunction; circadian misalignment using forced desynchrony increases cardiovascular risk factors in humans. Here we integrated data ...
Loss of immune function and an increased incidence of myeloid leukemia are two of the most clinically significant consequences of aging of the hematopoietic system. To better understand the mechanisms underlying hematopoietic aging, we evaluated the cell intrinsic functional and molecular properties...
The amygdala is crucial for emotional memory, but the molecular programs that enable its distinct circuits to encode different memory features remain unclear. Combining single-cell RNA sequencing with retrograde tracing, we investigated transcriptomic dynamics of amygdala neurons projecting to nucle...
Transgenerational effects likely have wide-ranging implications for human health, biological adaptation and evolution, however their mechanism and biology remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that a germline nuclear small RNA/chromatin pathway can maintain epi-allelic inheritance for many g...
We investigated the transcriptome profile of HEK293T cells transfected with a plasmid encoding 9J10, a peptide isolated in a phenotypic screen from a library of peptides derived from bacterial and archaeal genomes. The peptide was identified in a screen for FOXO3a reactivation and has been shown to...
We conducted comprehensive (untargeted) metabolic profiling of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted in culture by bacterial taxa Francisella tularensis (F. tularensis) subspecies novicida and Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) Sterne, surrogates for potential bacterial bioterrorism agents, as we...
