Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how the outer structure of fat tissue, called the extracellular matrix (ECM), changes in brown fat (BAT) and how it affects body temperature regulation and obesity.
- Researchers found that when mice eat a high-fat diet, it causes problems in the brown fat, leading to inflammation and less fat-burning ability.
- The findings suggest that understanding these changes in ECM can help explain why brown fat doesn't work properly in people with obesity.
Sclerotinia head rot (SHR), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most devastating sunflower crop diseases. Despite its worldwide occurrence, the genetic determinants of plant resistance are still largely unknown. Here, we investigated the Sclerotinia-sunflower pathosystem by analysing temporal changes in gene expression in one susceptible and two tolerant inbred lines (IL) inoculated with the pathogen under field conditions.

This paper presents the design and implementation in GPGPUs of an exact alignment tool for nucleotide sequences based on the Burrows-Wheeler Transform. We compare this algorithm with state-of-the-art implementations of the same algorithm over standard CPUs, and considering the same conditions in terms of I/O.
