Project description:The Alpine goat Capra aegagrus hircus is parasitized by the barber pole worm (Haemonchus contortus). This relationship results in changes that affect the gene expression of the host, the pest, and the microbiome of both. Hematological parameters indicating genes that are expressed and/or the % Composition of abundant and diverse microbial flora are reflective of infestation. We identified responses to barber pole worms using blood-based analysis of transcripts and the microbiome. Seven (7) days post-inoculation (dpi) we identified 7,627 genes associated with different treatment types.

Project description:Antimicrobial peptide ChMAP-28 is a peptide of innate immunity of the goat Capra hircus. The goal of this research was to evaluate possible changes in the molecular signaling pathways in HL-60 leukemia cells and also to correlate this effect with the cytotoxic activity of the peptide.

Project description:microbial diversity on rumen fluid
Project description:The transcriptome of Escherichia coli K-12 has been widely studied over a variety of conditions for the past decade while such studies involving E. coli O157:H7, its pathogenic cousin, are just now being conducted. To better understand the impact of rumen fluid on E. coli O157:H7, global transcript levels of strain EDL933 cells resuspended in heat clarified rumen fluid for 15 min were compared to cells resuspended in fresh LB using microarrays. Seven independent RNA samples from rumen fluid treated cultures were paired with seven independent RNA samples from control cultures for hybridization to seven two-color microarrays. For three arrays, the control RNA sample was labeled with Cy3 dye and the experimental RNA sample was labeled with Cy5 dye, the dyes were reversed for the other four arrays to overcome dye bias.
Project description:The study investigated differences in gene expression profiles of peripheral blood nuclear cells sampled from healthy and infected with SRLV goats, belonging to two breeds. Due to the nature of the lentiviral infection we hypothesized that the virus could induce genes expression regulation. We put forward the hypothesis that if gene expression differences exist, they should be revealed in studies conducted on custom-made Capra hircus Gene Expression Array. The results revealed that SRLV infection results in regulation of several genes in goat’s peripheral blood nuclear cells.
Project description:In comparison with cow milk, goat (Capra hircus) milk contains much higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids, as well as higher levels of total fat, proteins, carbohydrates, calcium, and vitamins.The main objective of the present study was to better define the relationship of known miRNAs regulating milk fat metabolism. Our main purpose is to search for some known miRNAs regulating milk fat metabolism, to this end, we screened potential miRNAs with differential expression between peak-lactation and non-lactation.
