Project description:House sparrow specimens were stained with four different iodine-based stains to increase contrast in microCT. Proteomic characterization of muscle and bone was performed on contralateral samples (before and after staining). Iodination was detected for all stains.

Project description:This dataset represents woody plants recorded in 16 1-ha forest plots in an elevational gradient in Madidi National Park, Bolivia, ranging from lowland Amazonian moist forest and lowland dry forest to the treeline of the Andean Altiplano. This work was carried out by David Henderson and Jonathan Myers (Washington University in St. Louis), Sebastian Tello (Missouri Botanical Garden and University of Missouri, St. Louis), and Brian Sedio (University of Texas at Austin and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute).
Project description:Direct analysis in real time (DART) surface analysis files and LC-MS proteomics files of a Tlingit ceremonial hat. DART was performed to evaluate what was present on the surface and also to help understand connection between two components of the hat. Proteomics was performed on small samples of material from around the hat to characterize the original adornment. The hat is housed at the Smithsonian Natural Museum of Natural History (E74339, E74441).
Proteomics data were searched with PEAKS 8.5 and Prosight Lite v1.4 Build 1.4.6
Project description:Normal kidney, liver, spleen, and Universal RNA from Stratagene were expression profiled across five centers (UCLA, Duke, TGen, Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC, and University of Pennsylvania) using the Affymetrix, spotted Operon, Agilent, and Amersham arrays to identify differences in expression between microarray platforms as well as centers. To compare the four microarray platforms as well as the reproducibility across the centers. There will be expression differences between the five centers. The following array types were profiled at the centers: UCLA: Affymetrix, Amersham, Agilent TGen: Affymetrix (3000 scanner) Children's: Affymetrix (2500 scanner) Duke: Operon Oligo University of Penn.: Affymetrix Series_author: Consortium,,Cross Platform Keywords: other
Project description:This study investigated the consumption of milk products in the archaeological record, utilizing human dental calculus as a reservoir of dietary proteins from archaeological samples from across Eurasia. Protein extraction and generation of tryptic peptides from dental calculus was performed using a filter-aided sample preparation (FASP) protocol, modified for ancient samples, on 92 samples of archaeological dental calculus. Samples were extracted at three laboratories; the Functional Genomics Centre Zürich (FGCZ), the Centre for GeoGenetics at the National History Museum of Denmark, and BioArCh at the University of York. Sample extracts were sequenced (LC-MS/MS) using an LTQ-Orbitrap Velos (FGCZ), a Q-Exactive Hybrid Quadrupole Orbitrap and an LTQ-Orbitrap Elite (Central Proteomics Facility, Target Discovery Institute, Oxford).
