Plastow, G., Stothard, P., Moore, S., Bao, H., Meng, Y., Liao, X.
Gene duplication is a widespread phenomenon in genome evolution, and it has been proposed to serve as an engine of evolutionary innovation. In the present study, we performed the first comprehensive analysis of duplicate genes in the bovine genome. A total of 3131 putative duplicated gene pairs...

The inactivation fluence of a target wastewater plant in Alberta, Canada was determined in the laboratory and was found to be close to that reported by the target wastewater plant. The effect of inactivation fluence, effective reactivation fluence, temperature, and river water on the percent...

Spatiotemporal integration of molecular and anatomical data in virtual reality using semantic mapping
Download2009
Janzen, R.P., Dong, X., Gordon, P.M., Soh, J., Wishart, D.S., Sabhaney, A., Turinsky, A.L., Sensen, C.W., Chang, J., Hau, D., Xia, J., Trinh, Q.M.
We have developed a computational framework for spatiotemporal integration of molecular and anatomical datasets in a virtual reality environment. Using two case studies involving gene expression data and pharmacokinetic data, respectively, we demonstrate how existing knowledge bases for molecular...

Bacterial conjugation is the process of plasmid DNA transfer from a donor cell to a recipient cell. This process is mediated in F-like plasmids by proteins expressed by the tra operon. The relaxosome forms at oriT (origin of transfer), where the nicking and unwinding of a single-stranded copy of...

Survival prediction is becoming a crucial part of treatment planning for most terminally ill patients. Many believe that genomic data will enable us to better estimate survival of these patients, which will lead to better, more personalized treatment options and patient care. As standard...

Synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial properties of a hydroxyapatite adhesive block copolymer
Download2014-01-01
Zhang, Qiang, Serpe, Michael J.
A novel diblock copolymer composed of bisphosphonate and pyridine oligomers has been prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Ag ion was introduced into the polymer via its coordination with the pyridine groups, followed by a reduction process to obtain Ag...

T cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped: mouse delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and mouse T cell-mediated rejection of renal allografts share common molecular mechanismsT cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped
DownloadFall 2011
Genome-wide gene expression analysis of diseases has revealed large-scale changes in the expression of thousands of genes (transcripts) representing biological processes. The processes that occur during T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) of renal allografts in mice and humans have been previously...

Taxonomic assessment of rumen microbiota using total RNA and targeted amplicon sequencing approaches
Download2016
Janssen, Peter H., Li, Fuyong, Sun, Xu, Cox, Faith, Guan, Leluo, Henderson, Gemma
Taxonomic characterization of active gastrointestinal microbiota is essential to detect shifts in microbial communities and functions under various conditions. This study aimed to identify and quantify potentially active rumen microbiota using total RNA sequencing and to compare the outcomes of...

The biology and characterization of NOD-like receptors in goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) macrophages exposed to bacterial pathogens
DownloadSpring 2017
The recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is important for the initiation of the host defense against pathogens. NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are a family of PRRs that primarily detect the cytosolic PAMPs of the pathogens. The NLRs have...

The construction and use of bacterial DNA microarrays based on an optimized two-stage PCR strategy
Download2003
Li, H., Klahn, J., Galbraith, D.W., Deyholos, M., Sherman, L.A., Impson, L., Postier, B.L., Risinger, G., Andrews, H.L., Burnap, R.L., Pesta, D., Wang, H.L., Singh, A.
Background: DNA microarrays are a powerful tool with important applications such as global gene expression profiling. Construction of bacterial DNA microarrays from genomic sequence data using a two-stage PCR amplification approach for the production of arrayed DNA is attractive because it...
