Description
Lyme disease is challenging to diagnose, as clinical manifestations are variable and current tools to detect nucleic acid or antibody responses from Borrelia burgdorferi infection have low sensitivity. Here we conducted the first study of the global transcriptome of patients with Lyme disease to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers. Twenty-nine patients were enrolled and compared to 13 healthy controls at three time points after infection. Fifteen publicly available transcriptome datasets from patients in vivo or infection models in vitro were used to assess specificity of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We found that Lyme disease results in profound and sustained changes in the patient transcriptomes, with a specific signature that shares =44% DEGs with other infections. Overall design: Gene expression profile from peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMC) of Lyme disease patients against healthy controls was undertaken. A total of 29 Lyme disease patients were sampled at 3 time points: acute Lyme pre-treatment (V1), 3 weeks later, immediately following completion of a standard course of antibiotics (V2), and 6 months following treatment completion (V5). 13 healthy controls were also sampled at one time point. Total RNA was extracted from 10e7 PBMC, followed by mRNA purification, paired-end barcode library preparation and sequencing on an Illumina Hiseq 2000.

Description
Boron is an essential micronutrient for plants and is taken up in the form of boric acid (BA). Despite this, a high BA concentration is toxic for the plants, inhibiting root growth and is thus a significant problem in semi-arid areas in the world. In this work, we report the molecular basis for the inhibition of root growth caused by boron. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression underlying boron toxicity in roots.

Description
The project aims to identify differentially expressed genes in adipose progenitors that were freshly isolated from wild-type or Nr4a1-/- mice. The AP preparation involved adipose tissue digestion, and negative selection of the stromal vascular fraction (depletion of CD31+ endothelial cells and Lineage positive cells. Overall design: 16 samples were anlyzed. 4 groups of adipose progenitors were isolated from subcutaneou(SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissue from Nr4a1 wildtype(Nr4a1+/+) and knockout(Nr4a1-/-) mice. Each group has 4 biological replicates.

Description
The concept of germ layers has been one of the foremost organizing principles in developmental biology, classification, systematics and evolution for 150 years. Of the three germ layers, the mesoderm is found in bilaterian animals but is absent in species in the phyla Cnidaria and Ctenophora, which has been taken as evidence that the mesoderm was the final germ layer to evolve. The origin of the ectoderm and endoderm germ layers, however, remains unclear, with models supporting the antecedence of each as well as a simultaneous origin. Here we determine the temporal and spatial components of gene expression spanning embryonic development for all Caenorhabditis elegans genes and use it to determine the evolutionary ages of the germ layers. The gene expression program of the mesoderm is induced after those of the ectoderm and endoderm, thus making it the last germ layer both to evolve and to develop. Strikingly, the C. elegans endoderm and ectoderm expression programs do not co-induce; rather the endoderm activates earlier, and this is also observed in the expression of endoderm orthologues during the embryology of the frog Xenopus tropicalis, the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis and the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica. Querying the phylogenetic ages of specifically expressed genes reveals that the endoderm comprises older genes. Taken together, we propose that the endoderm program dates back to the origin of multicellularity, whereas the ectoderm originated as a secondary germ layer freed from ancestral feeding functions. Overall design: Two temporal assays of Caenorhabditis elegans embryonic development, starting at the zygote: (a) Embryos collected at fixed (~10 minute) time intervals. (b) Embryo segregates, up to five lines of blastomeres, isolated in reference to mitotic events. There were 184 samples in total, representing 100 distinct data points (50 in each assay).

Description
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ that dissipates stored energy as heat to maintain body temperature in infants and small mammals. This process may also provide protection from development of diet-induced obesity. We found that the bioactive lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) markedly decreases differentiation of cultured primary brown adipocyte precursors, while potent selective inhibitors of the LPA-generating enzyme autotaxin (ATX) promote differentiation. Transgenic mice overexpressing ATX exhibited reduced expression of BAT-related genes in peripheral white adipose tissue and accumulated significantly more fat than wild-type controls when fed a high fat diet. Our results indicate that ATX and its product LPA are physiologically relevant negative regulators of brown fat adipogenesis and suggest that a decrease in peripheral brown adipose tissue results in increased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity in mice.

Description
CD33-/- and/or TREM2-/- mice were crossed with the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease to generate single and double CD33/TREM2 knock-out mice on 5xFAD background. Transcriptome and gene expression analyses were performed to analyze the impact of CD33 and/or TREM2 knock-out on the transcriptome of microglia in the context of amyloid pathology. The results revealed that CD33 and/or TREM2 knock-out reprogrammed microglial gene expression signatures in 5xFAD mice in an age-dependent manner. Differential gene expression in 5xFAD;CD33-/- microglia depended on the presence of TREM2. These data suggest that TREM2 acts downstream of CD33. Overall design: Microglia were isolated from brains of WT, 5xFAD, 5xFAD;CD33-/-, 5xFAD;TREM2-/-, and 5xFAD;CD33-/-;TREM2-/- mice at 4 and 8 months of age, using FACS sorting for CD11b and CD45. RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Plus Micro Kit (Qiagen). Libraries were prepared using the TruSeq Stranded mRNA LT Prep Kit (Illumina) and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer using single-end 50. Reads were aligned to mouse genome mm10 using the STAR aligner. Read counts for individual genes were obtained using HTSeq.
