Comparative transcriptomic analysis of rectal tissue from beef steers revealed reduced host immunity in Escherichia coli O157:H7 super-shedders
Download2016-03-09
McAllister, Tim A., Wang, Ou, Plastow, Graham, Stanford, Kim, Liang, Guanxiang, Guan, Le L., Selinger, Brent
Super-shedder cattle are a major disseminator of E. coli O157:H7 into the environment, and the terminal rectum has been proposed as the primary E. coli O157:H7 colonization site. This study aimed to identify host factors that are associated with the super-shedding process by comparing...

Pathologic Evaluation of Type 2 PorcineReproductive and Respiratory SyndromeVirus Infection at the Maternal-FetalInterface of Late Gestation Pregnant Gilts
Download2016-03-10
Novakovic, Predrag, Harding, John C. S., Al-Dissi, Ahmad, Ladinig, Andrea, Detmer, Susan E.
The pathogenesis of fetal death caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndromevirus (PRRSV) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to improve our understand-ing of the pathogenesis by assessing potential relationships between specific histopatho-logical lesions and PRRSV RNA...

Genome wide identification and functional prediction of long non-coding RNAs responsive to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infection in Brassica napus
Download2016
Rahman, Muhammad H., Megha, Swati, Joshi, Raj K., Basu, Urmila, Kav, Nat N. V.
Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum affects canola production worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in plants, in response to both abiotic and biotic stress. So far, identification of...

Differences in whole blood gene expression associated with infection time-course and extent of fetal mortality in a reproductive model of type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection
Download2016
Ladinig, Andrea, Stothard, Paul, Wilkinson, Jamie M., Kommadath, Arun, Plastow, Graham S., Harding, John C. S., Bao, Hua, Lunney, Joan K.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) infection of pregnant females causes fetal death and increased piglet mortality, but there is substantial variation in the extent of reproductive pathology between individual dams. This study used RNA-sequencing to characterize the whole...

Maternal and fetal predictors of fetal viral load and death in third trimester, type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infected pregnant gilts
Download2015-09-25
Wilkinson, Jamie M., Lunney, Joan K., Detmer, Susan E., Ladinig, Andrea, Harding, John C.S., Ashley, Carolyn, Plastow, Graham
Minimal research has focused on understanding mechanisms underlying porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) induced reproductive failure. We have completed a large-scale project investigating phenotypic and genotypic predictors of reproductive PRRS severity in which numerous...

Transcriptomic and epigenetic profiling of the lung of influenza-infected pigs: A comparison of different birth weight and Susceptibility groups
Download2015-09-22
Harding, John C.S., Foxcroft, George R., Gunvaldsen, Rayna E., Dyck, Michael K., Plastow, Graham S., Detmer, Susan E., Wilkinson, Jamie M., Dixon, Walter T.
Influenza viruses are a common cause of respiratory disease in swine. Infections range in severity from asymptomatic to causing significant morbidity. The main objective of this study was to compare lung transcriptomic and epigenetic responses to influenza infection in pigs from high or low birth...

Characterization of the altered gene expression profile in early porcine embryos generated from parthenogenesis and somatic cell chromatin transfer
Download2014
Dobrinsky, John, Zhou, Chi, Dixon, Walter T., Dyck, Michael K., Stothard, Paul, Foxcroft, George R., Tsoi, Stephen, Verstegen, John
The in vitro production of early porcine embryos is of particular scientific and economic interest. In general, embryos produced from in vitro Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) manipulations, such as somatic cell chromatin transfer (CT) and parthenogenetic activation (PA), are less...

Differential expression of miRNAs in Brassica napus root following infection with Plasmodiophora brassicae
Download2014
Basu, Urmila, Verma, Shiv, Rahman, Muhammad H., Deyholos, Michael K., Kav, Nat N. V.
Canola (oilseed rape, Brassica napus L.) is susceptible to infection by the biotrophic protist Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot. To understand the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) during the post-transcriptional regulation of disease initiation and progression, we have...

Birth Weight, Intrauterine Growth Retardation and Fetal Susceptibility to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
Download2014
Ashley, C., Foxcroft, G., Plastow, G., Harding, J. C. S., Lunney, J. K., Ladinig, A.
The severity of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome was compared in pregnant gilts originating from high and low birth weight litters. One-hundred and eleven pregnant gilts experimentally infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus on gestation day 85 (±1) were...

MicroRNA Buffering and Altered Variance of Gene Expression in Response to Salmonella Infection
Download2014
Plastow, G. S., Bao, H., Kommadath, A., Guan, L. L., Tuggle, C. K., Stothard, P.
One potential role of miRNAs is to buffer variation in gene expression, although conflicting results have been reported. To investigate the buffering role of miRNAs in response to Salmonella infection in pigs, we sequenced miRNA and mRNA in whole blood from 15 pig samples before and after...
