The rumen microbiome has the important task of supplying ruminants with most of their dietary requirements and is responsible for up to 90% of their metabolic needs.This tremendous feat is possible due to the large diversity of microorganisms in the rumen.The rumen is considered one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet in terms of species d
Transcriptome analysis of the endangered Notopterygium incisum: Cold-tolerance gene discovery and identification of EST-SSR and SNP markers
Notopterygium incisum C.C.Ting ex H.T.Chang (Apiaceae) is an endangered perennial herb in China.The lack of transcriptomic and genomic resources bullfrog plush for N.incisum greatly hinders studies of its population genetics and conservation.In this study, we employed RNA-seq technology to characterize transcriptomes for the flowers, leaves, and st
De Novo Transcriptome Analysis Provides Insights into Immune Related Genes and the RIG-I-Like Receptor Signaling Pathway in the Freshwater Planarian (Dugesia japonica).
BACKGROUND:The freshwater planarian Dugesia japonica (D.japonica) possesses extraordinary ability to regenerate lost organs or body parts.Interestingly, in the process of regeneration, there is little wound infection, suggesting that D.japonica has looney tunes knot on head a formidable innate immune system.The importance of immune system prompted
