Affymetrix Plasmodium/Anopheles Genome Array (plasmodiumanopheles)
Description
Insect hemocytes mediate important cellular immune responses including phagocytosis and encapsulation, and also secrete immune factors such as opsonins, melanization factors, and antimicrobial peptides. In Anopheles, they contribute to the defense against malaria parasite invasion during the early sporogonic cycle. We used microarrays to identify transcripts that are specific or enriched in circulating hemocytes compared to either neuronal or to the rest of the body.

Description
Fe deficiency stimulates a coordinated response involving reduction, transport and redistribution of Fe in the roots. The expression of genes regulated by Fe deficiency in the two contrasting Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes, Tsu-1 and Kas-1, shows that different ecotypes can respond in diverse ways, with different Fe regulated overrepresented categories.

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of dietary restriction and subsequent re-alimentation induced compensatory growth on the global gene expression profile of jejunum epithelial Holstein Friesian bulls (n=40) were assigned to one of two groups: restricted feed allowance (RES; n=20) for 125 days (Period 1) followed by ad libitum access to feed for 55 days (Period 2) or (ii) ad libitum access to feed throughout (ADLIB; n=20). All bulls received the same diet of 70% concentrate 30% grass silage through out the experimental trial,with the amount of feed provided different dependent on each treatment group. At the end ofeach period, 10 animals from each treatment group (RES, ADLIB) were slaughtered, and jejunum epithelial collected from all animals. RNA was extracted and jejununal epithelium gene expression was examined using RNAseq technology on all samles collected (end of Period 1: 10 samples each from ADLIB and RES groups; end of Period 2: 10 samples each from ADLIB and RES groups). Dietary restriction and subsequent re-alimentation were associated with altered expression of genes involved in digestion and metabolism, aswell as cellular protection and detoxification in jejunal epithelia. This information may be exploited in genomic breeding programmes to assist selection of cattle with a greater ability to compensate following a period dietary restriction. Overall design: 40 jejunumal epithelium RNA samples were analysed in total. 10 samples were from jejunum epithelium collected at the end of a period of dietary restriction (d 125; Period 1) and 10 samples were from jejunum epithelium collected after 55 days of compensatory growth (d 55 of re-alimentation, Period 2). In addition, RNA was also anlaysed from 10 samples collected from animals fed ad libitum at the end of both Period 1 and Period 2.

Description
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of dietary restriction and subsequent re-alimentation induced compensatory growth on the global gene expression profile of ruminal epithelial papillae. Holstein Friesian bulls (n=38) were assigned to one of two groups: restricted feed allowance (RES; n=19) for 125 days (Period 1) followed by ad libitum access to feed for 55 days (Period 2) or (ii) ad libitum access to feed throughout (ADLIB; n=19). All bulls received the same diet of 70% concentrate 30% grass silage through out the experimental trial,with the amount of feed provided different dependent on each treatment group. At the end of Period 1, 9 animals from each treatment group were slaughtered, with 10 animals from each treatment slaughtered at the end of Period 2. Rumen epithelium was collected from all animals within thirty minutes of slaughter. RNA was extracted and rumen epithelium gene expression was examined using RNAseq technology on all samles collected (end of Period 1: 9 samples each from ADLIB and RES groups; end of Period 2: 10 samples each from ADLIB and RES groups). Genes identified as differentially expressed in response to both dietary restriction and subsequent compensatory growth included those involved in processes such as cellular interactions and transport, protein folding and gene expression, as well as immune response. This information can be exploited in genomic breeding programmes to assist selection of cattle with a greater ability to compensate following a period dietary restriction. Overall design: 38 rumen epithelium RNA samples were analyzed in total. Purebred Holstein Friesian bulls were assigned to one of two feeding treatments (i) restricted feed allowance for 125 days (n=9) followed by ad libitum access to feed for a further 55 days (n=10) or (ii) a control group with ad libitum access to feed through out the 180 days trial (n=19). The first 125 days of the trial were denoted as Period 1, during which treatment groups were fed differentially. The subsequent 55 days, denoted as Period 2 during which all bulls were fed ad libitum. All bulls received the same diet of 70% concentrate 30% grass silage through out the experimental trial, with the amount of feed provided different dependent on each treatment group. Restricted fed animals were fed to grow at 0.6 kg /day during Period 1, with ad libitum animals expected to gain in excess of 1.5 to 2 kg/day.

- Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
Iron (Fe) is an essential plant micronutrient, and its deficiency limits plant growth and development on alkaline soils. Under Fe deficiency, plant responses include upregulation of genes involved in Fe uptake from the soil. However, little is known about shoot responses to Fe deficiency. Using microarrays to probe gene expression in Kas-1 and Tsu-1 ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana revealed conserved rosette gene expression responses to Fe deficiency. Fe regulated genes included known metal homeostasis-related genes, and a number of genes of unknown function.

Description
Here we examine the regulation of cell death by hepatic leukemia factor (HLF), which is an output regulator of circadian rhythms and is aberrantly expressed in human cancers, using an ectopic expression strategy in JB6 mouse epidermal cells and human keratinocytes. Ectopic HLF expression inhibited cell death in both JB6 cells and human keratinocytes, as induced by serum-starvation, tumor necrosis factor alpha and ionizing radiation.

- Affymetrix E. coli Genome 2.0 Array (ecoli2)
Description
Escherichia coli possesses >65 small proteins of <50 amino acids, many of which are uncharacterized. We have identified a new small protein, MntS, involved in manganese homeostasis. Manganese is a critical micronutrient, serving as an enzyme cofactor and protecting against oxidative stress. Yet manganese is toxic in excess and little is known about its function in cells. Bacteria carefully control intracellular manganese levels using the transcription regulator MntR. Before this work, mntH, which encodes a manganese importer, was the only gene known to respond to manganese via MntR repression in E. coli K12. We demonstrated that mntS is another member of the MntR manganese regulon. We also identified yebN, which encodes a putative manganese efflux pump, as the first gene positively regulated by MntR in Enterobacteria. Since MntS is expressed when manganese levels are low, causes manganese sensitivity when overexpressed, and binds manganese, we propose that MntS may be a manganese chaperone. This study reveals new factors involved in manganese regulation and metabolism and expands our knowledge of how small proteins function.
