Newest firstBackground CBD is widely studied for its stress-reduction and cognitive-enhancing properties, but its effects on hippocampal molecular organisation under physiological settings are unknown. Acute and long-term intraperitoneal CBD treatment at different doses was tested on hippocampus gene expression, circulating corticosterone, and behavioural performance in C57BL/6J mice. Results Short-term administration did not…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Transcriptomic benchmark concentration (BMC) modeling provides quantitative toxicogenomic information that is increasingly being used in regulatory risk assessment of data poor chemicals. Over the past decade, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is gradually replacing microarray as the major platform for transcriptomic applications due to its higher precision, wider dynamic range, and capability of detecting novel…
Background ETS transcription factors, known as the E26 transformation-specific factors, assume a critical role in the regulation of various vital biological processes in animals, including cell differentiation, the cell cycle, and cell apoptosis. However, their characterization in mollusks is currently lacking. Results The current study focused on a comprehensive analysis of the ETS genes in blood clam Tegillarca…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Cannabis sativa L., a dioecious plant derived from China, demonstrates important medicinal properties and economic value worldwide. Cannabis properties have been usually harnessed depending on the sex of the plant. To analyse the genetic structure of Chinese Cannabis and identify sex-linked makers, genome-wide insertion-deletion (InDel) markers were designed and used. Results In this study, a genome-wid…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background The incidence of poor semen quality and sub-fertility/infertility is higher in crossbred as compared to Zebu males. Several attempts have been made to understand the possible reasons for higher incidence of fertility problems in crossbred males, at sperm phenotype, proteome and genome level but with variable results. Since the quality of the ejaculated spermatozoa is determined by the testicular environ…
Background Production conditions of layer chicken can vary in terms of temperature or diet energy content compared to the controlled environment where pure-bred selection is undertaken. The aim of this study was to better understand the long-term effects of a 15%-energy depleted diet on egg-production, energy homeostasis and metabolism via a multi-tissue transcriptomic analysis. Study was designed to compare effec…
Open article record in new tab ↗BACKGROUND: The repetitive content of the genome, once considered to be "junk DNA", is in fact an essential component of genomic architecture and evolution. In this study, we used the genomes of three varieties of Cannabis sativa, three varieties of Humulus lupulus and one genotype of Morus notabilis to explore their repetitive content using a graph-based clustering method, designed to explore and compare repeat c…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background The fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins (FLAs) belong to the arabinogalactan protein (AGP) superfamily and are known to play different physiological roles in plants. This class of proteins was shown to participate in plant growth, development, defense against abiotic stresses and, notably, cell wall biosynthesis. Although some studies are available on the characterization of FLA genes from different…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in fatal damage and currently has no effective treatment. The pathological mechanisms of SCI remain unclear. In this study, genome-wide transcriptional profiling of spinal cord samples from injured rats at different time points after SCI was performed by RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq). The transcriptomes were systematically characterized to identify the critical genes and path…
