Distribution and abundance of fleas and rodents of plague importance in the erstwhile endemic states and international seaports of India.

Rodents are the reservoirs of the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis, which is transmitted through the bites of infected fleas. In this paper, we studied the distribution and abundance of fleas and rodents in the erstwhile endemic states and seaports of India from 2009 to 2019. The analysis showed that the Rattus rattus (Rr) was the major rodent species found in both Western (66.

A comprehensive review on glucokinase activators: Promising agents for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.

Glucokinase is a key enzyme which converts glucose into glucose-6-phosphate in the liver and pancreatic cells of the human. In the liver, glucokinase promotes the synthesis of glycogen, and in the pancreas, it helps in glucose-sensitive insulin release. It serves as a "glucose sensor" and thereby plays an important role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis.

A knowledge-driven protocol for prediction of proteins of interest with an emphasis on biosynthetic pathways.

This protocol describes a stepwise process to identify proteins of interest from a query proteome derived from NGS data. We implemented this protocol on transcriptome to identify proteins involved in secondary metabolite and vitamin biosynthesis and ion transport. This knowledge-driven protocol identifies proteins using an integrated approach involving sensitive sequence search and evolutionary relationships.

Dataset for the combined transcriptome assembly of and functional annotation.

In this paper, we present the data acquired during transcriptome analysis of the Moringa oleifera [1] from five different tissues (root, stem, leaf, flower and seed) by RNA sequencing. A total of 271 million reads were assembled with an N50 of 2094 bp. The combined transcriptome was assessed for transcript abundance across five tissues.
