Abstract Polydactyly or hexadactyly is characterized by an extra digit/toe with or without a bone. Currently, variants in ten genes have been implicated in the non-syndromic form of polydactyly. DNA from a single affected individual having bilateral postaxial polydactyly was subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES), followed by Sanger sequencing. Homology modeling was performed for the identified variant and advance microscopy imaging approaches were used to reveal the localization of the DACH1...

The number of ribs is an important economic trait in the sheep industry when the sheep are raised for mutton. However, in sheep, the genetic mechanisms regulating rib number are poorly understood. In the present study, we aimed to identify important candidate genes that affect the increase in rib number in sheep. Whole-genome resequencing of 36 Hu sheep with an increased number of ribs (R14) and 36 sheep with normal (R13) rib numbers was carried out. Analysis using three methods (fixation index ...
Abstract null null null Acquiring new DNA allows the emergence of drug resistance in bacteria. Some null Pasteurellaceae null null and null Neisseriaceae null species preferentially take up specific sequence tags. The study of such sequences is therefore relevant. They are over-represented in the genomes of the corresponding species. I found similar sequences to be present only in, but not in all, the genomes of the Pasteurellaceae and Neisseriaceae families. The genomic densities of these seque...

The genetic factors of tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility have been widely recognized. Here we performed a two-stage study in 616 TB patients and 709 healthy controls to systematically identify the genetic markers of TB susceptibility. In the discovery stage, we identified 93 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 3 human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles that had potential associations with TB susceptibility. In the validation stage, we confirmed that 6 nominally significant SNPs, incl...

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (21–23 nt) regulatory RNA molecules present in plants and animals which are known for regulating the mRNA target gene expression either by cleavage or translational repression. With the advancements in miRNAs research in plants towards their biogenesis and applications has directed the recent discovery of pri-miRNAs encoding functional peptides or microRNA peptides (miPEPs). These miPEPs are encoded by 5′ of pri-miRs containing short ORFs (miORFs). miPEPs ar...
Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm) is a gram-positive bacterium causing destructive bacterial wilt and canker disease in tomato. Herein, a comparative transcriptome analysis was performed on Cmm-resistant and -susceptible tomato lines. Tomato seedling were inoculated with Cmm and harvested for transcriptome analysis after 4 and 8 day time-points. Twenty-four transcriptome libraries were profiled by RNA sequencing approach. Total of 545 million clean reads was generated. 1642 an...

Abstract The present study is an attempt to examine the differential expression of genes in longissimus thoracis muscles between meat and wool type Indian goat breeds. Barbari goat is considered the best meat breed while Changthangi is famous for its fine fibre quality. RNA sequencing data was generated from four biological replicates of longissimus thoracis muscles of Barbari and Changthangi goats. A clear demarcation could be observed between the breeds in terms of expression of genes associat...
Abstract null null null null Xanthomonas null arboricola null pv. juglandis null (Xaj) is the most significant aboveground walnut bacterial pathogen. Disease management uses copper-based pesticides which induce pathogen resistance. We examined the genetic repertoire associated with adaptation and virulence evolution in Xaj. Comparative genomics of 32 Xaj strains reveal the possible acquisition and propagation of null virulence factors null via insertion sequences (IS). Fine-scale annotation reve...
Abstract Lactobacillaceae presents potential for interspecific Quorum Sensing (QS) in spontaneous cocoa fermentation, correlated with high abundance of luxS. Three Brazilian isolates from cocoa fermentation were characterized by Whole Genome Sequencing and luxS gene was surveyed in their genomes, in comparison with public databases. They were classified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Limosilactobacillus fermentum and Pediococcus acidilactici. LuxS genes were conserved in core genomes of the n...

Abstract The genotype-phenotype link is a major research topic in the life sciences but remains highly complex to disentangle. Part of the complexity arises from the number of genes contributing to the observed phenotype. Despite the vast increase of molecular data, pinpointing the causal variant underlying a phenotype of interest is still challenging. In this study, we present an approach to map causal variation and molecular pathways underlying important phenotypes in pigs. We prioritize varia...
