ELDERMET Gut microbiota as an indicator and agent of nutritional health in elderly Irish subjects Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
ELDERMET Gut microbiota as an indicator and agent of nutritional health in elderly Irish subjects (RRID:SCR_008492) | topical portal, data or information resource, portal | Latest publications: ELDERMET research has recently been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA). This work focuses on the composition and stability of the intestinal bacteria in older Irish adults. Read the paper here. Would you like to be part of ELDERMET? We are currently looking for people, aged 65 years or older, living in the community. All we ask is that you live in the Cork area, or are willing to travel to Cork, and have recently (within the last two/three weeks) taken any kind of antibiotic. It doesnt matter if you are still taking the antibiotic, as long as the finishing date isnt more than four weeks before your first visit to ELDERMET. ELDERMET Objectives To assess the composition of the faecal microbiota of elderly volunteers in the Irish population, using state-of-the-art molecular techniques. To correlate diversity, composition, and metabolic potential of the faecal microbial metagenome with health, diet and lifestyle indices that are a) likely to be influenced by the microbiota or b) to influence the microbiota. To develop recommendations for specific dietary ingredients, foodstuffs, functional foods and/or dietary supplements, that will improve the health of elderly consumers. To provide evidence-based recommendations for prospective studies to determine the molecular mechanisms for health improvements promoted by specific food ingredients that modulate components of the microbiota. ELDERMET Rationale The human intestinal microbiota is made up of approximately 1000 genetically unique organisms (phylotypes ) [1]. The bacteria present in the intestine make an important contribution to: metabolism executed in the gut [2] health, in diverse activites from pain perception [3] to cognitive function [4]. There is an increasing body of evidence linking alterations in the human gut microbiota with Inflammatory Bowel Disease [5, 6] and Irritable Bowel Syndrome [7]. The changing pattern of the gut microbiota in elderly subjects [8, 9] may be linked to host changes such as immunosenescence, increased susceptibility to disease and potentially systemic effects. The composition of the intestinal microbiota may be modulated by dietary components including prebiotics [10]. ELDERMET will determine the baseline composition of the gut microbiota of several hundred elderly Irish subjects using a combination of traditional culutre and molecular (culture-independent) methodologies. ELDERMET will explore potential correlations between microbiota composition and a range of health indices; cross-referencing data to dietary intake. Data will be analyzed in the context of the related FHRI projects in Nutrigenomics, Food Consumption, Food Safety, and Diet-Health. ELDERMET will provide recommendations to all stakeholders (including health practitioners and the health service, the food industry and the general public) on how to improve health based on defined modifications to dietary intake. Sponsor. This work is supported by the Goverment of Ireland Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Food/Health Research Board Food for Health Research Initiative award to the ELDERMET project as well as by a Science Foundation Ireland award to the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre.

An Open-Source MATLAB-to-Python Compiler Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
An Open-Source MATLAB-to-Python Compiler (RRID:SCR_008409) | compiler, software resource, software development tool, software application | OMPC aims to enable reuse of the huge open and free code base of MATLAB on a free and faster growing Python platform. Running Python and MATLAB in a single interpreter avoids issues with running two separate applications. Python adds general purpose programming libraries to the convenient syntax of the language of technical computing. OMPC is not an interpreter, it lets Python to do the work. This means that if Python gets faster OMPC gets faster too. OMPC translates the m-files preserving the structure of the original programs as much as possible. Although OMPC comes with a library that emulates the features of numerical array of MATLAB there is nothing that will stop you from running the translated code the way you like it. This means that you could run the OMPC generated code on IronPython, Jython, PyPy or whatever else if you write your own numerical class.

EDGE is a scientific resource for toxicology-related gene expression information. The site contains databases and analyses of gene expression studies following exposure to a variety of chemicals or physiological changes. The ultimate goal of the EDGE is to map transcriptional changes from chemical exposure that will someday be used as a diagnostic fingerprint to predict toxicity as well as provide valuable insights into the basic molecular changes responsible. EDGE gives you the ability to easily answer the following fundamental questions about your data 1. Can I compare transcriptional profiles across treatments? 2. What genes respond to my treatment? 3. What influences my favorite gene(s)? One of the major objectives of toxicology is to understand the adverse health effects that result from exposure to foreign chemicals. The traditional method for assessing the toxicity of a test chemical is very resource intensive; requiring the commitment of large amounts of money, time, and animals. According to the National Toxicology Program (NTP), each chemical study requires between 2 and 4 million dollars and several years to complete. Due to the cost and labor intensive nature of these studies, the number of chemicals currently tested by the NTP stands at less than 500. Given these statistics and the fact that there are approximately 70,000 chemicals in commerce today, it is increasingly apparent that alternative methods for assessing toxic potential must be explored if a significant portion of the remaining chemicals is to be tested. One potential solution is to develop a comprehensive database that describes alterations in gene expression resulting from chemical exposure. The pattern of transcriptional activity will not only be highly sensitive indicator of chemical exposure, but that this pattern will be diagnostic for mechanistically linked toxicants. In our laboratory, we have chosen to address this problem through a combination of high throughput sequencing of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and construction of custom toxicology-related cDNA microarrays derived from the unique ESTs identified in the sequencing effort. By using this approach, we can simultaneously develop a quantitative gene expression profile using ESTs and the reagents for further analyzing these changes in a rapid, highly parallel manner. In addition, the expression profiles are not biased for preselected favorite genes. The resulting gene expression pattern can then be used as diagnostic fingerprint to predict toxicity and/or carcinogenicity as well as provide valuable insight into the basic biochemical and molecular changes responsible for toxicity. Submission of total RNA for Bradfield Lab Microarray Microarray comparisons are made between untreated, control animals and animals treated with ONE treatment. Please make sure the RNA submitted adheres to this experimental design.
