Project description:Microarray comparative genome hybridization (mCGH) data was collected from one Neisseria cinerea, two Neisseria lactamica, two Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and 48 Neisseria meningitidis isolates. For N. meningitidis, these isolates are from diverse clonal complexes, invasive and carriage strains, and all major serogroups. The microarray platform represented N. meningitidis strains MC58, Z2491, and FAM18 and N. gonorrhoeae FA1090.
Project description:The study aims to investigate the relevance of NKp30 receptor in the salivary glands inflammation of Sjogren’s syndrome patients in comparison to sicca patients (control group) analysing the transcriptomic profile of salivary gland tissues.
Project description:The zur regulon in Neisseria meningitidis was elucidated in the strain MC58 using a zur knockout strain and conditions which activate Zur ( zinc supplementation in the medium)
Project description:The overall goals and objectives of this study are to investigate the transcriptomics of Neisseria gonorrhoeae using RNA-seq. This work will look at gene expression, start points of transcription, transcriptional termination, and differences between these in different conditions and between strains and growing cultures over time.
