Project description:In this study, we employed a strategy to screen miRNA expression profiles in liver tissue by miRCURY LNA(tm) microRNA array analysis followed by TaqMan probe-based quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) to validate the miRNA expression profiles in serum and liver of two parallel rat drug-induced liver injury (DILI) models induced by a compound (acetaminophen, APAP) or an herb (Dioscorea bulbifera, DB).
Project description:Natural epigenetic variation provides a source for the generation of phenotypic diversity, but to understand its contribution to phenotypic diversity, its interaction with genetic variation requires further investigation. MethylC-seq from naturally-occurring Arabidopsis accessions
Project description:Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita Thumb.) is a highly nutritional perennial herbaceous rhizome. N-glycoforms from Chinese yam glycoprotein were analyzed, and the major glycoprotein in yam be identificated.
