This study demonstrates how identification of genes underpinning disease-resistance QTL based on differential expression and SNPs can be improved by performing transcriptomic analysis on multiple near isogenic lines.

Scars on the eyes of an Ebola survivor have led researchers to a ‘super cell’ that may have the potential to help contain the virus in future outbreaks. A paper published in Translational Vision Science & Technology today describes how retinal pigment ...

Researchers from CSIRO Health and Biosecurity have published findings that start to explain how mosquitoes respond to viral infections. Using an RNA-sequencing approach, they identified a number of genes from multiple cellular pathways that play integral roles in protecting mosquitoes from ...
