Project description:Hispanic/Latino populations possess a complex genetic structure that reflects recent admixture among and potentially ancient substructure within Native American, European, and West African source populations. Here, we quantify genome-wide patterns of SNP and haplotype variation among 100 individuals with ancestry from Ecuador, Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic genotyped using Illumina technology.

Project description:Soil Bacteria from a Precipitation Gradient along the Texas' Edwards Plateau
Project description:Elucidating the genetic control of development of C3 and C4 photosynthesis. Atriplex rosea (C4) and Atriplex prostrata (C3) were studied along a leaf developmental gradient to compare development between C3 and C4. C3 Atriplex prostrata x C4 Atriplex rosea F1 hybrid were studied along the same developmental gradient and will aid in identifying regulatory elements involved in C3 and C4 leaf development.

Project description:Ecological mechanisms underlying soil bacterial responses to rainfall along a steep natural precipitation gradient
Project description:Higher aridity and more extreme rainfall events in drylands are predicted under climate change. Yet it is unclear how changing precipitation regimes may affect nitrogen (N) cycling, especially in areas with extremely high aridity. Here we investigated soil N isotopic values (M-NM-415N) along a 3200 km aridity gradient and show a hump-shaped relationship between soil M-NM-415N and aridity index (AI) with a threshold at AI=0.32. Also, using a micro-array metageomics tool named GeoChip 5.0, we showed that Variations of nitrification and denitrification gene abundance along the gradient which provide further evidence for the existence of this threshold. Data support the hypothesis that the increase of gaseous N losses is higher than the increase of net plant N accumulation with increasing AI below AI=0.32, while the opposite is favoured above this threshold. Our results suggest the importance of N-cycling microbes in extremely dry areas and the different controlling factors of N cycling on the either side of the threshold.
Project description:Hispanic/Latino populations possess a complex genetic structure that reflects recent admixture among and potentially ancient substructure within Native American, European, and West African source populations. Here, we quantify genome-wide patterns of SNP and haplotype variation among 100 individuals with ancestry from Ecuador, Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic genotyped using Illumina technology. To investigate variations of continental ancestry between different Hispanic/Latino groups (using self-reported country-specific identification of individual, both parents, and all four grandparents) and within them from healthy controls represented in the New York Health Project Biorepository. Genotyped on the Illumina 610-Quad, which is identical to HumanHap550-v3 SNPs plus an additional ~60,000 SNPs for CNV, no CNV data is provided or was analyzed.
