Abstract:
... Hand, foot, and mouth disease caused by coxsackievirus B5 (CV-B5) is a considerable threat to infant health, especially with regard to neurological damage. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to play pivotal roles in virus-host interactions. However, the roles of lncRNAs in CV-B5-host interactions have not yet been elucidated. In the current study, we used RNA sequencing to determine the expre ...

Abstract:
... Chitin is the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature. Therefore, how to utilize the resource is an important issue. Rhodococcus sp. 11–3 is a strain with high chitin deacetylase (CDA) activity. In the present study, we used a combined Illumina and PacBio sequencing strategy to assemble the whole genome sequence of this strain. The genome of Rhodococcus sp. 11–3 was 5,627,661 bp in size and ...

Abstract:
... Messenger RNA (mRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) targets interact via competitive microRNA (miRNA) binding. However, the roles of cancer-specific lncRNAs in the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks of low-grade glioma (LGG) remain unclear. This study obtained RNA sequencing data for normal solid tissue and LGG primary tumour tissue from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. We used a computat ...

Abstract:
... Facial and cranial variation represent a multidimensional set of highly correlated and heritable phenotypes. Little is known about the genetic basis explaining this correlation. We develop a software package ALoSFL for simultaneous localization of facial and cranial landmarks from head computed tomography (CT) images, apply it in the analysis of head CT images of 777 Han Chinese women, and obtain ...

Abstract:
... Despite the success of cloning technology in the production of offspring across several species, its application on a wide scale is severely limited by the very low offspring rate obtained with cloned embryos. The expression profile of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cloned embryos throughout embryonic development is reported to deviate from regular patterns. The present study is aimed at determining the dy ...

Abstract:
... Identifying genes that interact to confer a biological function to an organism is one of the main goals of functional genomics. High‐throughput technologies for assessment and quantification of genome‐wide gene expression patterns have enabled systems‐level analyses to infer pathways or networks of genes involved in different functions under many different conditions. Here, we leveraged the public ...

Abstract:
... Omics and meta-omics technologies are powerful approaches to explore microorganisms’ functions, but the sheer size and complexity of omics datasets often turn the analysis into a challenging task. Software developed for omics and meta-omics analyses, together with knowledgebases encompassing information on genes, proteins, taxonomic and functional annotation, among other types of information, are ...

Abstract:
... P450 (cytochrome P450) is a supergene family, which is involved in various metabolic pathways in plants. Based on previous study, we found some of cucumber P450 mRNAs were systemic mobile in cucumber/pumpkin grafts. However, the reason that why P450 mRNAs were endorsed as signaling, and what specific motif (s) did they harbored is not clear yet. Here, we first identified 221 CsaP450 genes in cucum ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Albeit a relatively stable epigenetic modification, DNA methylation in plants can be repatterned and play important roles in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, whether DNA methylation dynamics may contribute to cope with mercury (Hg) stress in plants remains to be fully investigated. OBJECTIVE: To probe the potential roles of DNA methylation dynamics in coping with Hg st ...

Abstract:
... Copy number variants (CNVs) are one of the major contributors to genetic diversity and phenotypic variation in livestock. The aim of this work is to identify CNVs and perform, for the first time, a CNV-based population genetics analysis with five Italian sheep breeds (Barbaresca, Comisana, Pinzirita, Sarda, and Valle del Belìce). We identified 10,207 CNVs with an average length of 1.81 Mb. The bre ...

Abstract:
... Hypertension (HTN) is considered one of the most important and well-established reasons for cardiovascular abnormalities, strokes, and premature mortality globally. This study was designed to explore possible differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that contribute to the pathophysiology of hypertension. To identify the DEGs of HTN, we investigated 22 publicly available cDNA Affymetrix datasets using ...

Abstract:
... Grape ripe rot is an important disease that has seriously damaged the yield and quality of grape worldwide. The disease is caused by Colletotrichum viniferum, a hemibiotrophic fungus that belongs to the Glomerellaceae family of Sordariomycetes class. Here, we present the genome of C. viniferum CvYL2a from grape, based on Illumina HiSeq 2500 and PacBio RS II. The high-quality genome consists of 70 ...
... MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play essential functions in abiotic stress responses. High temperature is a serious stress that affects crop yield and quality; however, the regulatory mechanisms of heat-responsive miRNAs remain poorly understood in maize (Zea mays L.). Here, 340 miRNAs (215 known and 125 novel) were identified from maize seedlings under heat stress and control co ...
... Egg-ceasing is a phenomenon that occurs in most avian species and significantly reduces productivity. Although several factors are reported to regulate the reproduction progress, the underlying molecular mechanism of egg-ceasing remains obscure. Herein, we identified and explored the differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs involved in ovarian atrophy via high throughput sequencing. We identified ...
