The Impacts of Read Length and Transcriptome Complexity for <i>De Novo</i> Assembly: A Simulation Study by Zheng Chang (432352)

“…The results suggest that (1) the read length of paired reads does not matter once it exceeds a certain threshold, and interestingly, the threshold is distinct in different organisms; (2) the quality of <i>de novo</i> assembly decreases sharply with the increase of transcriptome complexity, all existing <i>de novo</i> assemblers tend to corrupt whenever the genes contain a large number of alternative splicing events.…”

Mifepristone Promotes Adiponectin Production and Improves Insulin Sensitivity in a Mouse Model of Diet-Induced-Obesity by Takeshi Hashimoto (69561)

“…First, we explored the effects of mifepristone, on metabolic functions in obese mice receiving a high-fat diet. When these mice were fed mifepristone, they exhibited a marked improvement in insulin sensitivity, attenuated hepatic injury, and decreased adipocyte size, compared with mice that received only the high-fat diet. …”

A review on fermented aquatic food storage quality based on heat treatment and water retention technology by Lawal Adedoyin ISOLA (12729273)

“…Most of the end product quality of wine and meat, including taste, texture, and nutritional content, is determined by the main and secondary microbial metabolism formed during fermentation. A standard procedure in the food industry is the addition of salt to thermally processed meat and fish products in order to avoid weight loss that may otherwise have occurred due to the decreased water retaining capability caused by heat treatment. …”

Grx1 silencing causes MMP loss which can be prevented by thiol antioxidants and cyclosporine A. by Uzma Saeed (49670)
