Transcriptome analysis of Cinnamomum longepaniculatum by high-throughput sequencing

Background: Cinnamomum longepaniculatum is an important commercial crop and the main source of volatile terpenoids. The biosynthesis of key bioactive metabolites of C. longepaniculatum is not well understood because of the lack of available genomic and transcriptomic information. To address this issue, w...

Avaliação do efeito da seleção de populações de campo de Aedes aegypti Linnaeus (1762) com o inseticida organofosforado malathion

No Brasil, organofosforados (OP) e piretróides (PI) foram usados para o controle de larvas e adultos de A. aegypti, respectivamente, desde 1967 e 2000. O uso frequente destes produtos selecionou populações resistentes do vetor. Optou-se então por usar o OP fosforoditioato malathion no controle dos ad...

Benchmarking pathway interaction network for colorectal cancer to identify dysregulated pathways

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (5), 2017
Different pathways act synergistically to participate in many biological processes. Thus, the purpose of our study was to extract dysregulated pathways to investigate the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) based on the functional dependency among pathways. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) informati...

Epigenetic signature of differentially methylated genes in cutaneous melanoma

Appl. cancer res; 37 (), 2017
Background: Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most aggressive subtype of skin cancer, with increasing incidence over the past several decades. DNA methylation is a key element of several biological processes such as genomic imprinting, cell differentiation and senescence, and deregulation of this mechanism ...

De novo transcriptome assembly, functional annotation and differential gene expression analysis of juvenile and adult E. fetida, a model oligochaete used in ecotoxicological studies

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
BACKGROUND: Earthworms are sensitive to toxic chemicals present in the soil and so are useful indicator organisms for soil health. Eisenia fetida are commonly used in ecotoxicological studies; therefore the assembly of a baseline transcriptome is important for subsequent analyses exploring the impact of ...

Transcriptome Analysis of the Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) Integument

J. med. entomol; 54 (6), 2017
The insect integument, formed by the cuticle and the underlying epidermis, is essential for insect fitness, regulation of lipid biosynthesis and storage, insect growth and feeding, together with development progress. Its participation in insecticide resistance has also been outlined. Triatoma infestans K...

Analyzing gene expression profiles in dilated cardiomyopathy via bioinformatics methods

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (10), 2016
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by ventricular dilatation, and it is a common cause of heart failure and cardiac transplantation. This study aimed to explore potential DCM-related genes and their underlying regulatory mechanism using methods of bioinformatics. The gene expression profiles o...

Candidate genes and pathogenesis investigation for sepsis-related acute respiratory distress syndrome based on gene expression profile

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
BACKGROUND: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a potentially devastating form of acute inflammatory lung injury as well as a major cause of acute respiratory failure. Although researchers have made significant progresses in elucidating the pathophysiology of this complex syndrome over the year...

Transcriptome responses to heat- and cold-stress in ladybirds (Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulasnt) analyzed by deep-sequencing

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Changed temperature not only threaten agricultural production, but they also affect individual biological behavior, population and community of many insects, and consequently reduce the stability of our ecosystem. Insect's ability to respond to temperature stress evolved through a complex ada...

Disease association and inter-connectivity analysis of human brain specific co-expressed functional modules

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: In the recent studies, it is suggested that the analysis of transcriptomic change of functional modules instead of individual genes would be more effective for system-wide identification of cellular functions. This could also provide a new possibility for the better understanding of differenc...
