Omics-LHV, West Nile Experiment WGCN004 The purpose of this West Nile experiment was to obtain samples for omics analysis in primary mouse granule neuron cells infected with wild type West Nile virus (WNV-NY99 clone 382, WNVWT) and mutant virus (WNVE218A). Overall Design: Granule cell neurons from...
The rhizosphere represents a dynamic and complex interface between plant hosts and the microbial community found in the surrounding soil. While it is recognized that manipulating the rhizosphere has the potential to improve plant fitness and health, engineering the rhizosphere microbiome through...
Agriculture is the largest source of greenhouse gases (GHG) production. Conversion of nitrogen fertilizers into more reduced forms by microbes through a process known as biological nitrification drives GHG production, enhances proliferation of toxic algal blooms, and increases cost of crop...
Metabolite exchange between plant roots and their associated rhizosphere microbiomes underpins plant growth promotion by microbes. Sorghum bicolor is a cereal crop that feeds animals and humans and is used for bioethanol production. Its root tips exude large amounts of a lipophilic benzoquinone...
A major challenge in biotechnology and biomanufacturing is the identification of a set of biomarkers for perturbations and metabolites of interest. Here, we develop a data-driven, transcriptome-wide approach to rank perturbation-inducible genes from time-series RNA sequencing data for the discovery...
HDF5 file containing 10,000 hydraulic transmissivity inputs and the corresponding hydraulic pressure field outputs for a two-dimensional saturated flow model of the Hanford Site. The inputs are generated by sampling a 1,000-dimensional Kosambi-Karhunen-Loève (KKL) model of the transmissivity field...
The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study is searching for factors influencing the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children. Research has shown that there are certain genes that correlate to higher risk of developing T1D, but not all children with these genes...
The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young (DAISY) seeks to find environmental factors that can trigger the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children. DAISY follows children with high-risk of developing T1D based on family history or genetic markers. Genes, diets, infections, and...
Machine learning is a core technology that is rapidly advancing within type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Our Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) grant is studying early cellular response initiating β cell stress in T1D through the generation of heterogenous low- and high-throughput molecular...
Short Biography Caroline (Carrie) Harwood received her Ph.D. in microbiology from the University of Massachusetts and completed postdoctoral work at Yale University. She held academic appointments at Cornell University and the University of Iowa before moving to the University of Washington in 2005...
PerCon SFA, Co-Investigator Vivian Lin earned her PhD in organic chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley with Professor Chris Chang, developing fluorescent probes for imaging redox active small molecules. Afterward, she traveled to Switzerland for a postdoctoral fellowship in the...
Systems Virology Lethal Human Virus, SARS-CoV Experiment SCL005 New uploads pending The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the human host response to wild type virus icSARS-CoV Urbani and mutant virus icSARS deltaORF6 (DORF6) infection for subsequent transcriptional and proteomic analysis in...
Systems Virology Lethal Human Virus, SARS-CoV Experiment SCL006 New uploads pending The purpose of this SARS experiment was to obtain samples for transcriptome and proteome analysis in human lung 2B4 cells (clonal derivative of Calu-3 cells) infected with wild type icSARS CoV Urbani and icSARS Bat...
