Transcriptomic network underlying physiological alterations in the stem of Myricaria laxiflora in response to waterlogging stress by Linbao Li, Yang Su, Weibo Xiang, Guiyun Huang, Qianyan Liang, Bicheng Dun, Haibo Zhang, Zhiqiang Xiao, Liwen Qiu, Jun Zhang, Di Wu

“…The principal component analysis (PCA) of transcriptomes from five different timepoints uncovered PC1 counted for 17.3 % of total variations and separated the treated and non-treated samples. A total of 8714 genes in the stem of M. laxiflora were identified as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under waterlogging stress, which could be assigned into two different subgroups with distinct gene expression patterns and biological functions. …”

Accurate real-time PCR strategy for monitoring bloodstream parasitic loads in chagas disease patients. by Tomas Duffy, Margarita Bisio, Jaime Altcheh, Juan Miguel Burgos, Mirta Diez, Mariano Jorge Levin, Roberto Rene Favaloro, Hector Freilij, Alejandro Gabriel Schijman

“…In order to express accurately the parasitic loads: (1) we adapted a commercial kit based on silica-membrane technology to enable efficient processing of Guanidine Hydrochloride-EDTA treated blood samples and minimize PCR inhibition; (2) results were normalized incorporating a linearized plasmid as an internal standard of the whole procedure; and (3) a correction factor according to the representativity of satellite sequences in each parasite lineage group was determined using a modified real-time PCR protocol (Lg-PCR). …”

A Non-Binary Approach to Super-Enhancer Identification and Clustering: A Dataset for Tumor- and Treatment-Associated Dynamics in Mouse Tissues by Ekaterina D. Osintseva, German A. Ashniev, Alexey V. Orlov, Petr I. Nikitin, Zoia G. Zaitseva, Vladimir V. Volkov, Natalia N. Orlova

“…Here, we present a dataset and accompanying framework that facilitate a more nuanced, non-binary examination of SE activation across mouse tissue types (mammary gland, lung tissue, and NMuMG cells) and various experimental conditions (normal, tumor, and drug-treated samples). By consolidating overlapping SE intervals and capturing continuous enhancer activity metrics (e.g., ChIP-seq signal intensities), our dataset reveals gradual transitions between moderate and high enhancer activity levels that are not captured by strictly binary classification. …”
