Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of bead-enriched total monocytes collected from Native Hawaiian participants with known type 2 diabetes mellitus enrolled in a 3 month diabetes-specific social support education intervention. DNA methylation profiling was performed across ~450,000 CpGs from monocytes using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. Samples included 8 participants with paired DNA methylation data collected at pre-intervention and post-intervention (3 months), and 2 non-diabetic donors.
Project description:In this study, to unravel the influence of phylogenetic divergence and biogeography in shaping the composition and activity of Daboia venoms, we comparatively investigated the venoms of D. russelii from western India and D. palaestinae from Israel.
Project description:We report the full transcriptome (RNA-Seq) of Vibrio fischeri ES114 in rich medium, seawater, and after venting from the Hawaiian bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes. We also report the effects of ribodepletion on low-biomass samples, down to input amount of 1ng total RNA.
Project description:The marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri requires flagellar motility to undergo symbiotic initiation with its host, the Hawaiian bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes. We sought to identify the genes activated by the sigma54-dependent flagellar master regulator, FlrA, in V. fischeri, thereby determining the flagellar regulon in this model symbiont.
