Deep sequencing of small RNAs in the Xenopus tropicalis gastrula


ABSTRACT: Transposable elements comprise a large proportion of animal genomes. Transcripts of transposable elements are a source for the synthesis of endogenous siRNAs and piRNAs. In order to determine if small RNAs mapped to expressed Tc1-like elements are present during early Xenopus tropicalis development, we used Illumina (Solexa) to sequence small RNAs from gastrula-stage embryos. We obtained about 17 million reads that mapped perfectly to the genome. Small RNAs mapped to selected transposable elements were characterized and the expression of selected small RNAs was experimentally verified during development. This is the first deep sequencing experiment for small RNAs in the Xenopus tropicalis gastrula. Analysis of small RNAs expressed in the Xenopus tropicalis gastrula.

Transposable elements comprise a large proportion of animal genomes. Transposons can have detrimental effects on genome stability but also offer positive roles for genome evolution and gene expression regulation. Proper balance of the positive and deleterious effects of transposons is crucial for cell homeostasis and requires a mechanism that tightly regulates their expression. Herein we describe the expression of DNA transposons of the Tc1/mariner superfamily during Xenopus development. Sense a  ...[more]
