Project description:Intervention type:DRUG. Intervention1:Huaier, Dose form:GRANULES, Route of administration:ORAL, intended dose regimen:20 to 60/day by either bulk or split for 3 months to extended term if necessary. Control intervention1:None.
Primary outcome(s): For mRNA libraries, focus on mRNA studies. Data analysis includes sequencing data processing and basic sequencing data quality control, prediction of new transcripts, differential expression analysis of genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and the KEGG pathway database are used for annotation and enrichment analysis of up-regulated genes and down-regulated genes.
For small RNA libraries, data analysis includes sequencing data process and sequencing data process QC, small RNA distribution across the genome, rRNA, tRNA, alignment with snRNA and snoRNA, construction of known miRNA expression pattern, prediction New miRNA and Study of their secondary structure Based on the expression pattern of miRNA, we perform not only GO / KEGG annotation and enrichment, but also different expression analysis.. Timepoint:RNA sequencing of 240 blood samples of 80 cases and its analysis, scheduled from June 30, 2022..
Project description:Aduncisulcus paluster is a free-living, unicellular flagellate belonging to the eukaryotic lineage Fornicata, which includes free-living and commensal/parasitic organisms. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of A. paluster, which provides clues for elucidating the adaptation to microaerophilic/anaerobic environments and the transition between free-living and commensal/parasitic lifestyles in Fornicata.

Project description:Purpose: We carried out small RNA sequencing to determine miRNA expression patterns of hippocampus and frontal cortex in six inbred mouse strains. We analyzed miRNA expression levels, isomiR distribution and miRNA editing events. Methods: We constructed small RNA libraries starting from the total RNA extracted from the hippocampus and frontal cortex of three animals per strain. The sequencing was carried out using Illumina HiSeq2000 (single-end). The sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped to the mouse genome (mm10) and to known miRNAs (miRBase v21) using miRDeep2, SeqBuster, and sRNAbench, to obtain miRNA and isomiR expression levels and to predict novel miRNAs. Genome alignments were analysed for miRNA editing using FreeBayes. Results: We detected significant miRNA and isomiR expression level differences between the strains and brain regions. Most of the miRNA loci produced a number of isomiRs. Some miRNAs were consistently edited with a pattern that matches the activity of known RNA editing enzymes.
