The Ag Data Commons is migrating

The Ag Data Commons is migrating to a new institutional portal on Figshare. The current system is available for search and download only. The new platform is open for submission with assistance from Ag Data Commons curators. Please contact NAL-ADC-Curator@usda.gov, if you need to publish or update your datasets.

Data from: Skeletal Muscle Sexual Dimorphism in Mice

    File contains transcriptomics results for gastrocnemius (GA) and soleus (SOL) muscles from adult mice, previously fed a 45% (by energy) high fat diet for ~13 wk. The Supplemental Material also contains gene pathway analysis results (e.g., GO, HMDB), transcripts differentially expressed but with shared or disparate patterns in GA vs. SOL (Venn diagrams), and correlations between summed muscle weights vs. body weight or lean body mass.

    Data from: A deletion mutation in TaHRC confers Fhb1 resistance to Fusarium head blight in wheat

      Fusarium head blight (FHB), which is mainly caused by *Fusarium graminearum*, is a destructive wheat disease that threatens global wheat production. *Fhb1*, a quantitative trait locus discovered in Chinese germplasm, provides the most stable and the largest effect on FHB resistance in wheat. Here we show that *TaHRC*, a gene that encodes a putative histidine-rich calcium-binding protein, is the key determinant of *Fhb1*-mediated resistance to FHB.

      De novo transcriptome assembly of Schizaphis gramium Biotype I feeding on wheat

        Transcriptome was generated from pooled adult aphids that were fed on wheat plants containing the Dn4 and DN7 resistance gene as well as Yuma plants containing no resistant genes (Dn0). The assembly was generated using Trinity. All assembled transcripts, including those that were not predicted to encode ORFs, are included along with their corresponding functional annotations from Trinotate.

        Data from: Profile of the Spleen Transcriptome in Beef Steers with Variation in Gain and Feed Intake

          This study examines the spleen in beef steers, a major lymphatic organ near the digestive tract, to determine whether it was also influencing individual feed efficiency status through immune responses. A total of 1216 genes were identified as differentially expressed. Data suggests the splenic contribution to some of the underlying variation among gain and intake may be a result of immune function and stress response. In addition, some of the differences in immune response functions may be related to gene copy number.

          Data from: Key molecular processes of the diapause to post‐diapause quiescence transition in the alfalfa leafcutting bee Megachile rotundata identified by comparative transcriptome analysis

            Insect diapause (dormancy) synchronizes an insect's life cycle to seasonal changes in the abiotic and biotic resources required for development and reproduction. Transcription analysis of diapause to post‐diapause quiescent transition in the alfalfa leafcutting bee *Megachile rotundata* Fabricius identifies 643 post‐diapause up‐regulated gene transcripts and 242 post‐diapause down‐regulated transcripts. The log2 fold change in gene expression levels ranges from −5 to 7. Transcripts from several pivotal diapause‐related processes, including chromatin remodelling, cellular signalling pathways, microRNA processing, anaerobic glycolysis, cell cycle arrest and neuroendocrine control, are identified as being differentially expressed during the diapause to post‐diapause transition. In conjunction with studies from other insect species, the data indicate that there are several common mechanisms of diapause control and maintenance.
