View SamplesIn order to establish a statistical method to identify genetic and epigenetic factors on gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster, we measured gene expression level in female whole bodies obtained from two different sets of reciprocal crosses.

View SamplesWe undertook to validate the therapeutic use of a polyherbal preparation described in Ayurved as ‘Panchvalkal’, which has been suggested for treatment of microbial infections. We tested this formulation available in market as Pentaphyte P-5®, against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, for its quorum sensing (QS) modulatory potential. Following demonstration of its in vitro QS modulatory potential, we assayed it for in vivo efficacy using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host. This polyherbal formulation conferred notable survival benefit when the nematode worm was challenged with the test pathogen. Todecipher the molecular basis of its efficacy, whole transcriptome analysis of P. aeruginosa exposed to ‘Panchvalkal’ was done, its gene expression profile inpresence of ‘Panchvalkal’ was compared with that in its absence. This polyherbal formulation also enhanced the susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to antibiotics like gentamicin, tetracycline, and cephalexin. This study is a good demonstration of the role of bacterial QS machinery as an important target for development of new antimicrobials/ anti-infectives, and also of the effective use of moderngenomics for validation of ayurvedic prescriptions i.e. ayuromics.

View SamplesCellular dedifferentiation signifies the withdrawal of cells from a specific differentiated state into a stem cell-like undifferentiated state. However, the mechanism of dedifferentiation remains obscure. We showed that follicular granulosa cells (GC), which have distinct functions in vivo, can dedifferentiate during culture in vitro and acquire multipotency.
Dedifferentiated follicular granulosa cells derived from pig ovary can transdifferentiate into osteoblasts.

View SamplesCellular dedifferentiation signifies the withdrawal of cells from a specific differentiated state into a stem cell-like undifferentiated state. However, the mechanism of dedifferentiation remains obscure. We showed that mature adipocytes (MA) and follicular granulosa cells (GC), which have distinct functions in vivo, can dedifferentiate during culture in vitro and acquire multipotency.

View Samples1. To identify lncRNA regulating colorectal tumorigenesis, we performed RNA-seq analysis of cells with high and low tumorigenicity 2. To study the role of UPAT in colorectal cancer cells, we investigated the gene expression profiles of HCT116 cells in which UPAT expression had been suppressed by siRNA.
