e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture

A bibliometric study

The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.

This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

Title

Impact of delayed processing of bovine peripheral blood on differential gene expression

en
Abstract

RT-qPCR can be used to accurately determine expression levels of genes following RNA extraction from tissue samples. If blood is the source of total RNA, it is often desirable to process the samples immediately following collection because delays in processing for RNA extraction may influence mRNA expression estimates obtained from RT-qPCR analyses. However, this may not be feasible if the site of blood collection is distant from the processing laboratory. In the present study, the effects of delays in the processing of blood samples on mRNA expression data was investigated using a panel of 23 functionally diverse genes from five different gene ontology (GO) categories in peripheral blood sampled from ten age-matched healthy cattle. Venous blood was collected in Tempus (TM) Blood RNA tubes, which contain reagents that lyse blood cells immediately and stabilise the RNA signature (T-0). Blood was also collected in conventional lithium heparin collection tubes, and stored at ambient temperature for T-4, T-6 and T-8 h, prior to total RNA extraction. The mRNA expression profiles of these 23 genes were determined by RT-qPCR and compared across the time course. Thirteen genes showed significant up- or down-fold changes in mRNA expression over the 8 h time course. Among the GO categories, genes in the Immune response category showed the most differential expression. These results also demonstrated that the changes in mRNA expression for the IFNG gene, which encodes the cytokine IFN-gamma, did not correspond to IFN-gamma protein levels estimated using ELISA.
