Objective(s):Brucellosis is a well-known domestic animal infectious disease, which is caused by Brucella bacterium. GroEL antigen increases Brucella survival and is one of the major antigens that stimulates the immune system. Hence, the objective of the present study was cloning and bioinformatics analysis of GroEL gene. Materials and Methods: The full-length open reading frame of this gene was...

SUMMARY The RDAVIDWebService package provides a class-based interface from R programs/scripts to fully access/control the database for annotation, visualization and integrated discovery, without the need for human interaction on its Web site (http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov). The library enhances the database for annotation, visualization and integrated discovery capabilities for Gene Ontology an...

E volutionary Bioinformatics Online enjoyed a busy and productive fi rst year in 2005, capped off by being accepted by the Literature Selection and Technical Review Committee at the National Library of Medicine in the US, for inclusion in PubMed Central. This means that EBO will be indexed online in this internationally preeminent archive. A brief history. Evolutionary Bioinformatics Online was...

This study was conducted to characterize the effects of infection with a pathogenic F-18 Escherichia coli and 3 different plant extracts on gene expression of ileal mucosa in weaned pigs. Weaned pigs (total = 64, 6.3 ± 0.2 kg BW, and 21-d old) were housed in individual pens for 15 d, 4 d before and 11 d after the first inoculation (d 0). Treatments were in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement: with or...
