Project description:This study was performed to investigate the effect of camelina oil-based diets on the immune function of Atlantic cod, as measured by gene expression in spleen. Atlantic cod were fed with one of three practical diets (three tanks per diet): a control diet using herring oil as a lipid source (FO diet), and two experimental diets using vegetable oil from Camelina sativa to replace 40% or 80% of herring oil (40CO and 80CO diets). We studied both the effect of the diet alone on basal spleen gene expression levels, as well as the effect of the diet after fish were injected with the synthetic double-stranded RNA polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid (pIC), which mimics a viral immune stimulus.
Project description:Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) was used to measure the levels of gene transcription in perirenal adipose tissue in late gestation sheep fetuses (~ 2 weeks before birth). Through the discovery of SNP in the population, allele specific expression was identified.
Project description:The transcriptomic profiles of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were investigated using the next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). The CLC Genomic Workbench software was used to screen the differentially expressed transcripts. A total of 49 genes with a significantly differential expression (false discovery rate (FDR) p<0.05, fold change >2) in the female group as compared with the male group.
Project description:We sequenced and analyzed the genome of a highly inbred miniature Chinese pig strain, the Banna Minipig Inbred Line (BMI). we conducted whole genome screening using next generation sequencing (NGS) technology and performed SNP calling using Sus Scrofa genome assembly Sscrofa11.1.
