COMPARATIVE PROTEOMICS IN CAPTIVE GIANT PANDAS TO IDENTIFY PROTEINS INVOLVED IN AGE-RELATED CATARACT FORMATION

Comparative proteomics in captive giant pandas to identify proteins involved in age-related cataract formation

Abstract Approximately 20% of aged captive giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) have cataracts that impair their quality of life.To identify potential biomarkers of cataract formation, we carried out a quantitative proteomics analysis of 10 giant pandas to find proteins differing in abundance between healthy and cataract-bearing animals.We identif

Linear interaction between replication and transcription shapes DNA break dynamics at recurrent DNA break Clusters

Abstract Recurrent DNA break clusters (RDCs) are replication-transcription collision hotspots; many are unique to neural progenitor cells.Through high-resolution replication sequencing and a capture-ligation assay in mouse neural progenitor cells experiencing replication stress, we unravel the License Plate replication features dictating RDC locati
