Project description:Genomics insights into a Mycobacterium pinnipedii isolated from a case of tuberculosis in a captive South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) from Italy
Project description:In this study we assessed the utility of a microarray to identify changes in gene expression predictive of health status by interrogating blood samples from California sea lions in rehabilitation. 73 California sea lion blood samples. 28 Females and 45 males. Animals were divided into 4 groups based on preliminary diagnosis at the rehabilitation center: domoic acid toxicosis (n=33, DAT), Leptospirosis infection (n=24, Lepto), control (n=4, Healthy) and other diseases (n=12, Outgroup).
Project description:This submission contains datasets from several species used to demonstrate new features in compareMS2 2.0. Tandem mass spectrometry data from California sea lion, chimpanzee, dog, human, rock hyrax, and white-tailed deer sera were graciously provided with permission from an ongoing collaboration with Dr. Michael G. Janech (College of Charleston) as part of the CoMPARe Program (Comparative Mammalian Proteome Aggregator Resource). Specifically, the California sea lion sera were provided by The Marine Mammal Center (Sausalito, CA), the chimpanzee, rock hyrax, and white-tailed deer sera were provided by The Chattanooga Zoo, and the dog serum from Gus (Ohlandt Veterinary Clinic, Charleston, SC). In addition to institutional and NMFS permits and approval, data collection was performed under NIST ACUC MML-AR20-0001. The identification of certain commercial equipment, instruments, software, or materials does not imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nor does it imply that the products identified are necessarily the best available for the purpose.
