Immunogenomics: recent discoveries
Journal Title: International Journal of Genetics - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Immunogenomics is a new research field, which addresses the interface between host and (pathogen) proteome, bridging informatics technology, genomics, proteomics, immunology and clinical medicine. The switch from the paradigm of solely hypothesis-driven immunological research to a more interactive and flexible relationship between classical research and a new discovery-driven approach is termed immunogenomics. This review will focus on the immunogenomics and recent discoveries in Immunogenomics, which are leading to insights into novel immunomodulatory therapies. The research regarding the different aspects of immunogenomics; rather than providing a comprehensive review, we will highlight various factors that influence immunogenomics and how modulation of the immune response may be incorporated into future trends.

VARIATION IN THE YAK CALPASTATIN GENE (CAST)
Calpastatin (CAST) is a specific inhibitor of calpain (calcium-dependent cysteine protease). This study investigated the potential for variation in yak (Bos grennies) CAST. PCR-SSCP analysis of exon 6 of yak CAST reveale...
EFFECT OF SALINITY AND DROUGHT STRESS ON GROWTH PARAMETERS, GLYCOSIDE CONTENT AND EXPRESSION LEVEL OF VITAL GENES IN STEVIOL GLYCOSIDES BIOSYNTHESIS PATHWAY OF Stevia rebaudiana (BERTONI)
Stevia [Stevia rebuaidana (Bertoni)], a family of Asteraceae is known to yield diterpenoid steviol glycosides (SGs) that is about 300 times sweeter than sugar. The present work examined the effects of different concentra...
GENERATION MEAN ANALYSIS FOR MORPHO-PHENOLOGICAL TRAITS IN BREAD WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.)
The study was carried to investigate the inheritance of gene action for various morpho-phenological traits in bread wheat at the Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15. A set of six genera...
RICE LANDRACES WITH GENETIC VARIATIONS FOR SALINITY TOLERANCE AND THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH SUBMERGENCE TOLERANCE
In coastal regions, both salinity and submergence stress alternatively or simultaneously become severe constrain to the rice cultivation by climate changes. This situation necessitates the search of combined tolerance to...
LINKAGE ANALYSIS OF FIRST SIX MODY GENES TO KNOWN LOCI AND SCREENING OF THREE MOST PREVALENT MODY GENES IN PAKISTANI POPULATION
The pandemic of metabolic disorders is accelerating in the urbanized world posing huge burden to health and economy. The key pioneer to most of the metabolic disorders is insulin dependent diabetes mellitus or Type 1 Dia...
