- C. elegans gene expression in response to Salmonella enterica infection and recovery by Tetracycline treatment
(Part 1) Gene expression profiles of C. elegans in response to a 120 hour S. enterica infection. Synchronized larval stage 1 (L1) animals were exposed to S. enterica SL1344 for 36, 72, 96, or 120 hours. As an uninfected control, synchronized L1 animals were exposed to E. coli OP50 for 36 hours. (Part 2) Gene expression profiles of C. elegans in response to Tetracycline-mediated recovery from 72 hour and 96 hour S. enterica infections. Synchronized L1 animals were exposed to S. enterica SL1344 for 72 hours and then shifted to E. coli HT115 plus Tetracycline plates for 24 hours to resolve the infection. Synchronized L1 animals were exposed to S. enterica SL1344 for 96 hours and then shifted to E. coli HT115 plus Tetracycline plates for 24 hours to resolve the infection.

Onchocerca volvulus is a filarial nematode parasite of humans, causing Onchocerciasis, or River Blindness, which affects over 37 million people, mainly in Africa. It is a severely debilitating disease, which is transmitted to humans by black fly. This project aims to undertake high-throughput sequencing of Onchocerca volvulus transcriptome for de novo assembly of transcripts. The main objective of this project is to recognize genes expressed in given life stages. This data is part of a pre-publication release.
