Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the presence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in colon is associated with psychiatric disorders.
Project description:Despite the characterization of many aetiologic genetic changes. The specific causative factors in the development of sporadic colorectal cancer remain unclear. This study was performed to detect the possible role of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) in developing colorectal carcinoma.
Project description:Comparative genomic hybridization between Escherichia coli strains to determine core and pan genome content of clinical and environmental isolates
Project description:NsrR is a nitric oxide sensitive regulator of transcription. In Escherichia coli, NsrR is a repressor of the hmp gene encoding the flavohemoglobin that detoxifies nitric oxide. Several other transcription units (including ytfE, ygbA and hcp-hcr) are known to be subject to regulation by NsrR. In this study, chromatin immunoprecipitation and microarray analysis was used to identify NsrR binding sites in the chromosome of Escherichia coli strain MG1655. Keywords: ChIP-chip
