Background Red clover ( Trifolium pratense ) is globally used as a fodder plant due its high nutritional value and soil improving qualities. In response to mowing, red clover exhibits specific morphological traits to compensate the loss of biomass. The morphological reaction is well described, but the underlying molecular mechanisms and its role fo...

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants, but crop plants are inefficient in the acquisition and utilization of applied nitrogen. This often results in producers over applying nitrogen fertilizers, which can negatively impact the environment. The development of crop plants with more efficient nitrogen usage is, therefore, an important research ...

Mechanisms involved in the de-acclimation of herbaceous plants caused by warm periods during winter are poorly understood. This study identifies the genes associated with this mechanism in winter barley. Seedlings of eight accessions (four tolerant and four susceptible to de-acclimation cultivars and advanced breeding lines) were cold acclimated fo...

Simple Summary There is a tremendous amount of gene expression information available for prostate cancer, but very few tools exist to combine the disparate datasets generated across sample types and technical platforms. We present a method of integrating different types of expression data from different study cohorts to increase analytic power, and...

Mal secco is one of the most severe diseases of citrus, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Plenodomus tracheiphilus . With the main aim of identifying candidate genes involved in the response of citrus plants to “Mal secco”, we performed a de novo transcriptome analysis of rough lemon seedlings subjected to inoculation of P. tracheiphilus . The anal...

BackgroundForage plays critical roles in milk performance of dairy. However, domestic high-quality forage such as alfalfa hay is far from being sufficient in China. Thus, more than 1 million tons of alfalfa hay were imported in China annually in recent years. At the same time, more than 10 million tons of corn stover are generated annually in China...

Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are at increased risk for infection, and clinical assessment of infection risk is increasingly challenging in the era of immune‐based therapy. A pilot systems‐level immune analysis identified gene expression immune signatures that may predict future infection risk in patients with relapsed and/or refractory MM.

Investigating closely related species that rapidly evolved divergent feeding morphology is a powerful approach to identify genetic variation underlying variation in complex traits. This can also lead to the discovery of novel candidate genes influencing natural and clinical variation in human craniofacial phenotypes. We combined whole-genome resequ...

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Bioinformatic scientists are often asked to do widespread analyses of publicly available datasets in order to identify genetic alterations in cancer for genes of interest; therefore, we sought to create a set of tools to conduct common statistical analyses of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data. These tools have been developed in response to reques...

Several methods are available to probe cellular responses to external stresses at the whole genome level. RNAseq can be used to measure changes in expression of all genes following exposure to stress, but gives no information about the contribution of these genes to an organism’s ability to survive the stress. The relative contribution of each non-...
