Project description:Primary objectives: The primary objective is to investigate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via deep sequencing for mutation detection and by whole genome sequencing for copy number analyses before start (baseline) with regorafenib and at defined time points during administration of regorafenib for treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients in terms of overall survival (OS).

Project description:Here, we define the proteomic response of the early divergent liverwort Marchantia polymorpha during infection with the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora palmivora. We sampled whole liverwort thalli that were mock-inoculated (water) or infected with P. palmivora zoospores at 4 and 8 days post inoculation (dpi). This analysis revealed the protein profiles of liverworts during the biotrophic (4 dpi) and necrotrophic (8 dpi) stages of pathogen infection. In combination with additional omics datasets, our analyses reveal conserved aspects in the molecular response to pathogen infection in liverworts and angiosperms.
Project description:To understand a role of MpMET in maintenance of cytpsine methylation and transposon silencing, we obtained a genome wide profile of 5-methylated cytosine from the Mpmet mutant of a model liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha.
Project description:A previously described low-fitness, high stress-resistant, variant of Listeria monocytogenes LO28 WT was subjected to an experimental evolution regime, selecting (in two parallel lines) for increased fitness in unstressed conditions. Evolved variants with increased fitness reverted to WT-like stress resistance. Whole genome sequencing and proteomics were used to identify differences between the ancestral and evolved strains.
Project description:Multiomics of faecal samples collected from individuals in families with multiple cases of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) over 3 or 4 months. Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing and metaproteomics were carried out, as well as whole human genome sequencing. Phenotypic data is available.
Project description:We performed whole genome sequencing on four isolates of C. jejuni, two of which were closely related phylogenetically while the remaining two were phylogenetically divergent. Genomes were closed and finished. 4-plex iTRAQ experiments were performed on the four isolates after growth on solid medium for a standard time. The research questions were: 1) how closely do the protein profiles match among the four isolates, and 2) were there any results consistent with differences in regulation among isolates.
