Mashup Score: 1CeMbio - The Caenorhabditis elegans Microbiome Resource - 3 year(s) ago
The study of microbiomes by sequencing has revealed a plethora of correlations between microbial community composition and various life-history characteristics of the corresponding host species. However, inferring causation from correlation is often hampered by the sheer compositional complexity of microbiomes, even in simple organisms. Synthetic communities offer an effective approach to infer…

Mashup Score: 0A Novel Mapping Strategy Utilizing Mouse Chromosome Substitution Strains Identifies Multiple Epistatic Interactions That Regulate Complex Traits - 3 year(s) ago
The genetic contribution of additive vs. non-additive (epistatic) effects in the regulation of complex traits is unclear. While genome-wide association studies typically ignore gene-gene interactions, in part because of the lack of statistical power for detecting them, mouse chromosome substitution strains (CSSs) represent an alternate approach for detecting epistasis given their limited allelic…

Mashup Score: 1Preventing Photomorbidity in Long-Term Multi-color Fluorescence Imaging of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. pombe - 3 year(s) ago
Time-lapse imaging of live cells using multiple fluorescent reporters is an essential tool to study molecular processes in single cells. However, exposure to even moderate doses of visible excitation light can disturb cellular physiology and alter the quantitative behavior of the cells under study. Here, we set out to develop guidelines to avoid the confounding effects of excitation light in…

Mashup Score: 4BioLitMine: Advanced Mining of Biomedical and Biological Literature About Human Genes and Genes from Major Model Organisms - 3 year(s) ago
The accumulation of biological and biomedical literature outpaces the ability of most researchers and clinicians to stay abreast of their own immediate fields, let alone a broader range of topics. Although available search tools support identification of relevant literature, finding relevant and key publications is not always straightforward. For example, important publications might be missed in…

Mashup Score: 2Draft Genome of the Common Snapping Turtle, Chelydra serpentina, a Model for Phenotypic Plasticity in Reptiles - 3 year(s) ago
Turtles are iconic reptiles that inhabit a range of ecosystems from oceans to deserts and climates from the tropics to northern temperate regions. Yet, we have little understanding of the genetic adaptations that allow turtles to survive and reproduce in such diverse environments. Common snapping turtles, Chelydra serpentina , are an ideal model species for studying adaptation to climate because…

Mashup Score: 0Draft Genome Assembly of the Freshwater Apex Predator Wels Catfish (Silurus glanis) Using Linked-Read Sequencing - 3 year(s) ago
The wels catfish ( Silurus glanis ) is one of the largest freshwater fish species in the world. This top predator plays a key role in ecosystem stability, and represents an iconic trophy-fish for recreational fishermen. S. glanis is also a highly valued species for its high-quality boneless flesh, and has been cultivated for over 100 years in Eastern and Central Europe. The interest in rearing S….

Mashup Score: 0
Various Hydra species have been employed as model organisms since the 18th century. Introduction of transgenic and knock-down technologies made them ideal experimental systems for studying cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in regeneration, body-axis formation, senescence, symbiosis, and holobiosis. In order to provide an important reference for genetic studies, the Hydra magnipapillata…

Mashup Score: 0Analysis of Gal4 Expression Patterns in Adult Drosophila Females - 4 year(s) ago
Precise genetic manipulation of specific cell types or tissues to pinpoint gene function requirement is a critical step in studies aimed at unraveling the intricacies of organismal physiology. Drosophila researchers heavily rely on the UAS/Gal4/Gal80 system for tissue-specific manipulations; however, it is often unclear whether the reported Gal4 expression patterns are indeed specific to the…

Mashup Score: 0Genotypic Characterization of the U.S. Peanut Core Collection - 4 year(s) ago
Cultivated peanut ( Arachis hypogaea ) is an important oil, food, and feed crop worldwide. The USDA peanut germplasm collection currently contains 8,982 accessions. In the 1990s, 812 accessions were selected as a core collection on the basis of phenotype and country of origin. The present study reports genotyping results for the entire available core collection. Each accession was genotyped with…
