The objective is to quantify the contribution of genetic and common environmental effects in the familial resemblances of whole blood genome-wide gene expression levels. We also make comparisons with familial resemblances in blood leukocytes genome-wide DNA methylation levels in the same cohort in order to further investigate biological mechanims.

View SamplesFusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a disease of wheat and other cereal crops, where Fusarium graminearum and related species infects the wheat inflorescence during and post-anthesis. The fungus produces trichothecene toxins that accumulate in the grain of infected head, and are required for disease spread. Microarrays were used to observe differential gene expression in the uninoculated spikelets of FHB-challenged wheat spikes in three wheat genotypes. A summary of our findings will be published in Plant Pathology.

View SamplesWe explored gene expression profile of human aortic valves in patients with or without aortic stenosis. The dataset that we generated constitutes a large-scale quantitative measurements of gene expression in normal and stenotic human valves. The goal was to compare gene expression levels between the two groups and identified a list of genes that are up- or down-regulated in aortic stenosis.

View SamplesUncontrolled microglial activation may lead to development of inflammation-induced brain damage. Here we uncover a ribosome-based mechanism/check point involved in control of the innate immune response and microglial activation. Using an in vivo model-system for analysis of the dynamic translational state of microglial ribosomes with mRNAs as input and newly synthesized peptides as an output, we find a marked dissociation of microglia mRNA and protein networks following innate immune challenge. Highly up-regulated and ribosome-associated mRNAs were not translated resulting in two distinct microglial molecular signatures, a highly specialized pro-inflammatory mRNA and immunomodulatory/homeostatic protein signature. We find that this is due to specific translational suppression of highly expressed mRNAs through a 3UTR-mediated mechanism involving the RNA binding protein SRSF3. This discovery suggests avenues for therapeutic modulation of innate immune response in resident microglia.
