Identification of a Dolabellane Type Diterpene Synthase and other Root-Expressed Diterpene Synthases in Arabidopsis
(Frontiers, 2016-11-25)Arabidopsis thaliana maintains a complex metabolism for the production of secondary or specialized metabolites. Such metabolites include volatile and semivolatile terpenes, which have been associated with direct and indirect ... -
Identification of Aspergillus fumigatus UDP-Galactopyranose Mutase Inhibitors
(Nature, 2017-09-07)Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic human pathogen responsible for deadly, invasive infections in immunocompromised patients. The A. fumigatus cell wall is a complex network of polysaccharides among them galactofuran, ... -
Identification of Differentially Methylated Sites with Weak Methylation Effects
(MDPI, 2018-02-08)Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation is an epigenetic alteration crucial for regulating stress responses. Identifying large-scale DNA methylation at single nucleotide resolution is made possible by whole genome bisulfite ... -
Identification of L-Valine-initiated-germination-active genes in Bacillus subtilis using Tn-seq
(PLOS, 2019-06-14)Bacterial endospores can survive harsh environmental conditions and long-term dormancy in the absence of nutrients, but can rapidly germinate under favorable conditions. In the present study, we employed transposon sequencing ... -
Identification of MOS9 as an interaction partner for chalcone synthase in the nucleus
(PeerJ, 2018-09-19)Plant flavonoid metabolism has served as a platform for understanding a range of fundamental biological phenomena, including providing some of the early insights into the subcellular organization of metabolism. Evidence ... -
Identification of regulatory modules in genome scale transcription regulatory networks
(2017-12-15)Background In gene regulatory networks, transcription factors often function as co-regulators to synergistically induce or inhibit expression of their target genes. However, most existing module-finding algorithms can only ... -
Identification of soil bacteria capable of utilizing a corn ethanol fermentation byproduct
(PLoS, 2019-03-08)A commercial corn ethanol production byproduct (syrup) was used as a bacterial growth medium with the long-term aim to repurpose the resulting microbial biomass as a protein supplement in aquaculture feeds. Anaerobic batch ... -
Identification, characterization, and gene expression analysis of nucleotide binding site (NB)-type resistance gene homologues in switchgrass
(2016-11-08)BACKGROUND: Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm-season perennial grass that can be used as a second generation bioenergy crop. However, foliar fungal pathogens, like switchgrass rust, have the potential to significantly ... -
Identifying protein interaction subnetworks by a bagging Markov random field-based method
(Nucleic Acids Research, 2013)Identification of differentially expressed subnetworks from protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks has become increasingly important to our global understanding of the molecular mechanisms that drive cancer. Several ... -
IL-7 signalling represses Bcl-6 and the TFH gene Program
(Nature, 2016-01-08)The transcriptional repressor Bcl-6 is linked to the development of both CD4⁺ T follicular helper (TFH) and central memory T (TCM) cells. Here, we demonstrate that in response to decreased IL-2 signalling, T helper 1 (TH1) ... -
Impact of surface topography on biofilm formation by Candida albicans
(PLOS, 2018-06-18)Candida albicans is a fungal pathogen that causes serious biofilm-based infections. Here we have asked whether surface topography may affect C. albicans biofilm formation. We tested biofilm growth of the prototypical ... -
The Impact of Targeted Data Management Training for Field Research Projects - A Case Study
(2019-05-21)We present a joint effort at Virginia Tech between a research group in the Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation and Data Services in the University Libraries to improve data management for long-term ecological field ... -
Implications of Probiotics on the Maternal-Neonatal Interface: Gut Microbiota, Immunomodulation, and Autoimmunity
(Frontiers, 2018-12-03)Probiotics are being investigated for the treatment of autoimmune disease by re-balancing dysbiosis induced changes in the immune system. Pregnancy is a health concern surrounding autoimmune disease, both for the mother ... -
Improved Drought Prediction Using Near Real-Time Climate Forecasts and Simulated Hydrologic Conditions
(MDPI, 2018-05-30)Short-term drought forecasting is helpful for establishing drought mitigation plans and for managing risks that often ensue in water resource systems. Additionally, hydrologic modeling using high-resolution spatial and ... -
Improving Molecular Sensitivity in X-Ray Fluorescence Molecular Imaging (XFMI) of Iodine Distribution in Mouse-Sized Phantoms via Excitation Spectrum Optimization
(IEEE, 2018-10-25)X-ray fluorescence molecular imaging (XFMI) has shown great promise as a low-cost molecular imaging modality for clinical and pre-clinical applications with high sensitivity. Recently, progress has been made in enabling ... -
Incidence of Health and Behavior Problems in Service Dog Candidates Neutered at Various Ages
(2019-10-08)Saint Francis Service Dogs (SFSD) trains dogs to aid people with multiple sclerosis, brain injury, and many other conditions. Organizations like SFSD must carefully consider when to neuter dogs to give them the best chance ... -
Increased body weight affects academic performance in university students.
(2017-03)For K-12 students, obesity has been linked to student educational achievements. The study objective was to determine whether academic performance in university students is correlated with BMI. Students from two consecutive ... -
Increased production of piRNAs from euchromatic clusters and genes in Anopheles gambiae compared with Drosophila melanogaster
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2015-11-27)Background Specific genomic loci, termed Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) clusters, manufacture piRNAs that serve as guides for the inactivation of complementary transposable elements (TEs). The piRNA pathway has been ... -
Incubation Temperature Affects Duckling Body Size and Food Consumption Despite No Effect on Associated Feeding Behaviors
(Oxford University Press, 2020)Developmental conditions can have consequences for offspring fitness. For example, small changes (<1°C) in average avian incubation temperature have large effects on important post-hatch offspring phenotypes, including ...
