RNA-sequencing was used on leaf tissue from 29 diverse maize lines to characterize differences in gene expression between lines. The main goal from this study was to relate gene expression to measured traits of interest.

View SamplesNeuro-2a cells were infected with ZIKV (MOI = 0.5) for 48 h and total RNA was extracted and purified using TRI Reagent and RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen). RNA-seq was performed at the Molecular and Genomics Core Facility of the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Differential expression analysis between mock and ZIKV infected cells was done using Tophat and cuffdiff programs from the tuxedo suite.

View SamplesUnderstanding host-pathogen interactions in tuberculosis is essential to d develop strategies and therapeutic tools to control Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). In this study, we performed the transcriptome analyses of macrophages infected with virulent Mtb strain H37Rv (Rv) or avirulent Mtb strain H37Ra (Ra).

View SamplesViral and bacterial coinfections are common in nature, but infrequently studied in laboratory models of infection. We observed disease severity differences in mice infected with two of three possible respiratory viruses, depending on the order of the infection. To discover the mechanisms causing these differences, we compared gene expression responses of lung tissue at three time points following viral coinfection. Differential gene expression and immune cell counts suggest a dampening of immune responses in mice infected with rhinovirus followed by influenza A virus or pneumonia virus of mice.

View SamplesC2C12 cells, as mouse-derived myoblasts, are a classic cell model for studying skeletal muscle development. We knocked down the immunoglobulin superfamily containing leucine-rich repeat (Islr) gene in C2C12 cell line and studied the effect of Islr on the proliferation and differentiation of C2C12 cells.

View SamplesIt has been demonstrated previously that the reprogramming factors are sequestered in the pronuclei of zygote after fertilization, as the enucleated zygotes at interphase cannot support the development of cloned embryos whereas the enucleated zygotes at M-phase can reprogram somatic cells to full pluripotency. However, it remains unknown whether the parental pronucleus, derived either from the sperm or oocyte, possesses the similar reprogramming ability. Here, we provide evidence demonstrating that the parental pronuclei are asymmetric in reprogramming and the reprogramming factors reside mainly in the male pronucleus. As a result, only the female pronucleus-depleted mouse zygotes enucleated at M-phase of mitosis can support the somatic cell reprogramming, the derivation of chromosome transfer embryonic stem (ctES) cells with full pluripotency and the full term development of cloned embryos. In striking contrast, the male pronucleus-depleted zygotes enucleated at M-phase of mitosis fail to support the pre-implantation development of somatic cell cloned embryos. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the distinct epigenetic reprogramming ability of the parental pronucleus might contribute directly to the developmental difference of somatic cloned embryos. Our study highlights the developmental asymmetry of parental pronuclei in reprogramming.
