The mammalian brain has over 10,000 types of neurons. Therefore, studying gene regulation in the brain requires effective strategies for targeting specific cell types, especially those in low abundance. Cell isolation may alter gene expression and is disruptive to mature neurons with extensive processes. This protocol describes cell-type-specific e...

BackgroundNAC transcription factors (TFs) are plant-specific proteins encoded by a large gene family. They play important roles in diverse biological processes, such as plant growth and development, leaf senescence, and responses to biotic or abiotic stresses. Functions of a number of NAC TFs have been identified mainly in model plants. However, ve...

Bayesian variable selection is an important method for discovering variables which are most useful for explaining the variation in a response. The widespread use of this method has been restricted by the challenging computational problem of sampling from the corresponding posterior distribution. Recently, the use of adaptive Monte Carlo methods has...

High-temperature stress severely impacts both yield and quality of tomato fruits, and therefore, it is required to develop stress-tolerant cultivars. In the present study, two tomato genotypes, H88-78-1 and CLN-1621, identified through preliminary phenotypic screening were characterized by analysis of molecular, physiological, and biochemical trait...

The effects of alginate oligosaccharides (AOs) on the growth performance and non-specific immunity of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were investigated by performing a 60-day feeding trial. Four trial diets were formulated and supplemented with different doses of AOs (0, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg). Triplicate groups of grass carp were fe...

AbstractHigh ambient temperatures are a critical challenge in the poultry industry which is a key producer of the animal-based food. To evaluate heat stress levels, various parameters have been used, including growth rates, blood metabolites, and hormones. The most recent advances have explored expression profiling of genes that may play vital role...

BackgroundApproximately 60% of colorectal cancer (CRC) precursor lesions are the genuinely-dysplastic conventional adenomas (cADNs). The others include hyperplastic polyps (HPs), sessile serrated lesions (SSL), and traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs), subtypes of a class of lesions collectively referred to as “serrated.” Endoscopic and histologic ...

BackgroundGenome-wide association studies have identified more than 30 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk genes, although the detailed mechanism through which all these genes are associated with AD pathogenesis remains unknown. We comprehensively evaluate the roles of the variants in top 30 non-APOE AD risk genes, based on whether these variants were as...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of poor plumage conditions on production performance, antioxidant status and gene expression in laying hens. Two hundred ten 54-week-old laying hens with similar body weights were assigned into two groups based on plumage conditions (the poor plumage conditions (PPC) group and the control g...

Essential oils (EOs) are complex mixtures of compounds derived from plants that exhibit antimicrobial activity. Several studies have demonstrated their antifungal activity in food matrices or in vitro via vapor phase or direct addition. Recently, researchers are focusing on elucidating the target site or the mechanism of action of various EOs. Past...
