Epigenetic modifications and their relationships to smRNA and mRNA transcriptomes in maize
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Genome-wide and organ-specific landscapes of epigenetic modifications and their relationships to mRNA and smRNA transcriptomes in maize We report an integrated genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation, histone modifications, smRNAs and mRNA transcriptional activity, using maize as a model. We surveyed the epigenomes of the maize inbred line B73 in shoot and root tissue by Illumina/Solexa 1G parallel sequencing after digesting genomic DNA with a methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme and after conducting chromatin immunoprecipitations (ChIP) using antibodies that target specific histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27me3, H3K36me3, respectively). Additionally, we profiled RNA pools (micro RNA (miRNA), siRNA and mRNA) using the same sequencing strategy. Keywords: Epigenetics, mRNA transcription and small RNAs
