Host and parasite genomics, an Australasian perspective

The last decade has seen rapid advances in the genetic technology that is allowing researchers to examine host-pathogen interactions at a whole organism level.

Evidence for associations between the purinergic receptor P2X(7) (P2RX7) and toxoplasmosis

Congenital Toxoplasma gondii infection can result in intracranial calcification, hydrocephalus and retinochoroiditis. Acquired infection is commonly associated

CXCR1 and SLC11A1 polymorphisms affect susceptibility to cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil: a case-control and family-based study

To look at the interplay between PMN and macrophages in disease progression in humans we asked whether polymorphisms at genes that regulate their infiltration..

Analysis of expression of FLI1 and MMP1 in American cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania braziliensis infection

MMP1 is regulated by factors other than FLI1, and that the influence of IL-6 on MMP1 was independent of its effect on FLI1 in Leishmania braziliensis

Comprehensive candidate gene analysis for symptomatic or asymptomatic outcomes of Leishmania infantum infection in Brazil

Our results imply a role for IgG-mediated inflammation in determining delayed-type hypersensitivity associated with asymptomatic leishmaniasis

FANTOM5 CAGE profiles of human and mouse samples

Resulting data represents the consequence of transcriptional regulation in each analyzed state of mammalian cells.

A Method to Exploit the Structure of Genetic Ancestry Space to Enhance Case-Control Studies

These results highlight how UNICORN can enable reliable, powerful, and convenient genetic association analyses without access to the individual-level data

Polygenic risk of ischemic stroke is associated with cognitive ability

Findings from this study indicate that even in the absence of stroke, being at high polygenic risk of ischemic stroke is associated with lower cognitive ability

The -308 bp TNF gene polymorphism influences tumor necrosis factor expression in leprosy patients in Bahia State, Brazil

TNF mRNA expression was higher in leprosy patients compared to endemic controls, but did not differ significantly between clinical subgroups

Age at surgery and outcomes of an undescended testis

We investigated the prevalence of UDT and examined rates of surgery and age at surgery in an Australian population.
