Data from: From cacti to carnivores: improved phylotranscriptomic sampling and hierarchical homology inference provide further insight into the evolu…

Premise of the Study— The Caryophyllales contains ~12,500 species and is known for its cosmopolitan distribution, convergence of trait evolution, and extreme adaptations. Some relationships within the Caryophyllales, like those of many large plant clades, remain unclear and phylogenetic studies often recover alternative hypotheses. We explore the utility of broad and dense transcriptome sampling across the order for resolving evolutionary relationships in Caryophyllales. Methods— We generated 84 transcriptomes and combined these with 224 publicly available transcriptomes to perform a phylogenomic analysis of Caryophyllales. To overcome the computational challenge of ortholog detection in su…
Data from: Transcriptomic data from panarthropods shed new light on the evolution of insulator binding proteins in insects
2017
Background Body plan development in multi-cellular organisms is largely determined by homeotic genes. Expression of homeotic genes, in turn, is partially regulated by insulator binding proteins (IBPs). While only a few enhancer blocking IBPs have been identified in vertebrates, the common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster harbors at least twelve different enhancer blocking IBPs. We screened recently compiled insect transcriptomes from the 1KITE project and genomic and transcriptomic data from public databases, aiming to trace the origin of IBPs in insects and other arthropods. Results Our study shows that the last common ancestor of insects (Hexapoda) already possessed a substantial number …
Advanced clinical diagnostic techniques: omics and their application to the molecular study of diseases
2023
El document forma part dels materials docents programats mitjançant l'ajut del Servei de Política Lingüística de la Universitat de València Omics development is allowing to improve clinical diagnostic techniques in clinical biochemistry. Omics investigate organisms as a whole and allow to study several parameters from a holistic perspective. Through the groundbreakingly development of cytomics, metabolomics and genomics and transcriptomics we can study cells, metabolites and genes as biomarkers for the diagnostic of several pathologies through the application of biochemical and molecular biology techniques. In this seminar, a state-of-the-art review is performed, in order to evaluate the in…
Architecture of cell differentiation, stress-mediated protein expression and transport in iPSC-derived Motor Neurons bearing a pG376D TDP-43 mutation
2020
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE. ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by loss of motoneurons (MNs). Growingevidence suggests that the disease has a strong genetic basis. Up to now, more than 50 ALS-related genes have beenfound. Among these, TARDBP plays a critical role in ALS. Pathogenic mutations in TARDBP gene are found in 1–3% offamilial ALS cases. A few years ago, a novel G376D TARDBP mutation associated to ALS was reported (Conforti et al, 2011). Recently, a verylarge genealogic tree from this G376D family was made (2HE Association, personal communication) leading to a largecollection of DNA, plasma and fibroblasts (FBs) from several family members, both affected and not clinically…
