Project description:The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of dietary plant and animal proteins on gut metabolism and markers for colorectal cancer as well as blood protein metabolites and markers for type 2 diabetes in healthy adults. The study participants will be stratified into three groups with different protein composition in diets: 1) animal 70%/plant 30%; 2) animal 50%/plant 50% and 3) animal 30%/plant 70%. The participants will get part of their diet as ready foods or raw material to promote their compliance. The participants will also get personal advice for their diets. Blood, stool and urine samples will be collected in the beginning and in the end of the 12 week intervention, as well as phenotype measures like BMI, blood pressure and body composition. The participants will also fill food diary before and in the end of the intervention.
Project description:Purpose: In this study, Escherichia coli DH5alpha whole transcriptome sequencing was performed in order to compare the different gene expression profiles between control and exposed to Wi-Fi radiofrequency radiations. Methods:Escherichia coli DH5alpha were exposed to Wi-Fi radiations. Total RNA samples( control and exposed ) were extracted by bacteria protect-Rneasy kit,treated with DNAase and subjected to sequnecing using an Illumina-NovaSeq 6000 platform. Library preparation and sequencing were performed by Macrogen (south korea).Trimmed reads are mapped to reference genome with Bowtie. HTseq was used for expression profiling. Expression profile was calculated for each sample and gene as read count.

Project description:Here we studied Vanessa cardui, the species with the widest diet breadth among butterflies and a potential insect pest, by comparing tissue-specific transcriptomes from caterpillars that were fed six different host plants. We tested whether the similarities of gene-expression response reflect the evolutionary history of adaptation to these plants in the Vanessa and related genera, against the null hypothesis of transcriptional profiles reflecting plant phylogenetic relatedness. Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab, Sweden) conducted the sequencing of RNA samples. The cDNA libraries (Illumina TruSeq RNA) were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform using 100-bp paired-end sequencing. We obtained more than 9 million read-pairs from seventy one cDNA libraries sequenced and the transcriptome assembly (TA) of these sequences resulted in 213, 237 transcripts (162,189 components) with a contig N50 of 2,193 bp. Thus, we covered approximately 300x the transcriptome of caterpillars of the species V. cardui.
Project description:This is an untargeted liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry profiling data set of 76 samples of different plant parts of 36 species belonging to 14 genera of the Celastraceae family. The data set is composed of: the .raw and open format .mzML files; the metadata associated to each file, including the curated accepted taxonomy based on the Open Tree of Life, analytical and biological tissue characteristics.
Project description:40mer probes were designed to detect plant viroids infection at the genus level. This microarray platform is able to detect a wide spectrum of all the 8 reported viroid genera, including 37 known plant viroid species. Viroid samples were extracted from infected plant hosts and plasmids. Total RNA was extracted and hybridized to the microarray.
Project description:Methods: The cDNA libraries from 3 pooled samples of cultured cells for each group were sequenced to generate RNA profiles using Illumina Miseq platform Results: The sequencing runs yielded a total of 95.01 M reads with an average length of 73-74 bp. The high-throughput sequencing performed for liver samples with different treatments showed similar numbers of yielded reads ranged from 5.57 to 5.74 M and the same average length. The Strand NGS software (version 2.1) was used using default parameters for pre-alignment and post-alignment quality control analysis and 100% of the raw reads remained in the dataset. Of these, 19.02 M reads (84%) were mapped into contigs of the rat genome (rn5) and identified 31457 transcripts in liver samples.
