Project description:Rapid development and application of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from transcriptome sequence to detect variation in the legume pod borer Maruca vitrata (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) population of West Africa.
Project description:The present work is the pioneering report depicting the total proteomic atlas of four major developmental stages (third, fourth, fifth instar and pupa) of M. vitrata by LC-MS/MS analyses.
Project description:In this study, we sought to identify functionally important differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the four life stages of M. vitrata. That data can provide an insight into the biological processes involved in insect metamorphosis.
Project description:Sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene, which has improved the characterization of microbial community, has made it possible to detect a low level Helicobacter pylori (HP) sequences even in HP-negative subjects which were determined by a combination of conventional methods. This study was conducted to obtain a cutoff value for HP colonization in gastric mucosa biopsies and gastric juices by the pyrosequencing method.
