Synchronized age-related gene expression changes across multiple tissues in human and the link to complex diseases

Jialiang Yang, +146 more
- 19 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the aging gene expression signatures are very tissue specific and enrichment for some well-known aging components such as mitochondria biology is observed in many tissues, and different levels of cross-tissue synchronization of age-related gene expression changes are observed, and some essential tissues (e.g., heart and lung) show much stronger "co-aging" than other tissues based on principal component analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population genomics of a symbiont in the early stages of a pest invasion

TL;DR: Genetic analyses of allele frequency changes between 2009 and 2011 uncover signatures of both positive and negative selection and suggest that symbionts on soybeans and kudzu experience differential selection for genes related to nutrient provisioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic evidence for plant-parasitic nematodes as the earliest Wolbachia hosts

TL;DR: The genome of a new Wolbachia strain in the plant-parasitic nematode Pratylenchus penetrans is sequenced and analyzed, enhancing understanding of this globally pandemic endosymbiont and highlighting genetic patterns associated with host changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative Genomics of a Plant-Parasitic Nematode Endosymbiont Suggest a Role in Nutritional Symbiosis

TL;DR: Together, features and the location in the gut suggest that Xiphinematobacter functions as a nutritional mutualist, supplementing essential nutrients that are depleted in the nematode diet, which points to evolutionary convergence with endosymbionts found in sap-feeding insects.
