Project description:We deep sequenced a degradome library constructed from different soybean tissues. As a result, 19,830,257 represented 5,337,590 distinct signatures were obtained. 70.98% of the signatures were assigned to one soybean cDNA sequence and 24.05% matched with two cDNA sequences. 428 potential targets of small RNAs and 25 novel miRNA families were identified in soybean. A total of 211 potential miRNA targets including 150 conserved miRNA targets and 69 soybean-specific miRNA targets were identified. The signatures distribution on soybean primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) showed that most of the pri-miRNAs had the characteristic pattern of Dicer processing. The TAS3 small RNAs (siRNAs) biogenesis was conserved in soybean and nine Auxin Response Factors (ARFs) were identified as the TAS3 siRNA targets. The global identification of miRNAs targets would contribute to the functional research of the miRNA in soybean.

Project description:A large number of small RNAs unrelated to the soybean genome were identified after deep sequencing of soybean small RNA libraries. A metatranscriptomic analysis was carried out to identify the origin of these sequences. Comparative analyses of small interference RNAs (siRNAs) present in samples collected in open areas corresponding to soybean field plantations and samples from soybean cultivated in greenhouses under a controlled environment were made. Different pathogenic, symbiotic and free-living organisms were identified from samples of both growth systems. They included viruses, bacteria and different groups of fungi. This approach can be useful not only to identify potentially unknown pathogens and pests, but also to understand the relations that soybean plants establish with microorganisms that may affect, directly or indirectly, plant health and crop production.
Project description:A large collection of full-length cDNAs is essential for the correct annotation of genomic sequences and for the functional analysis of genes and their products. We obtained a total of 39,936 soybean cDNA clones (GMFL01 and GMFL02 clone sets) in a full-length-enriched cDNA library which was constructed from soybean plants that were grown under various developmental and environmental conditions. Sequencing from 5' and 3' ends of the clones generated 68 661 expressed sequence tags (ESTs). The EST sequences were clustered into 22,674 scaffolds involving 2580 full-length sequences. In addition, we sequenced 4712 full-length cDNAs. After removing overlaps, we obtained 6570 new full-length sequences of soybean cDNAs so far. Our data indicated that 87.7% of the soybean cDNA clones contain complete coding sequences in addition to 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions. All of the obtained data confirmed that our collection of soybean full-length cDNAs covers a wide variety of genes. Comparative analysis between the derived sequences from soybean and Arabidopsis, rice or other legumes data revealed that some specific genes were involved in our collection and a large part of them could be annotated to unknown functions. A large set of soybean full-length cDNA clones reported in this study will serve as a useful resource for gene discovery from soybean and will also aid a precise annotation of the soybean genome.
Project description:Analysis of flanking genomic sequences of unique small RNAs enabled identification of 419 miRNAs. Expression analysis revealed that miRNAs were differentially expressed in different tissues and development stages. Prediction of the miRNA target genes suggested that they are involved in important processes in soybean growth and development. Most conserved soybean miRNAs guide the cleavage of conserved genes. Our study significantly increased the number of known conserved and non-conserved miRNAs in soybean. Our description of soybean miRNAs can be used for functional characterization.

Project description:While a first draft of the equine genome is available and predictions are made regarding resulting genes and proteins, little is known about the actual transcriptome. So far, published expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from different horse tissues were generally rather short (≤600bp) and hardly annotated, reflecting the problem that good cDNA libraries are very difficult to analyse. In this approach, we aimed to establish and analyse a normalised immune cell cDNA library (using freshly isolated and activated lymphocytes, NK cells, monocytes and DC). In particular, we wanted to test next generation sequencing combined with a series of bioinformatic approaches. The resulting cDNA library contained 2x107 clones of which 1056 were used for an initial Sanger sequencing and 4x106 for the deep sequencing analysis. Through the latter we obtained >29k sequences for which more than 5000 matches where found on the equine reference sequences. Additionally we could identify more than 3500 sequences which had matches on both - non-equine RNA sequences as well as the equine genome. In these we find both extensions of existing RefSeq models and novel mRNAs alike. Less than 2% of sequences did not have any match in the mentioned databases.
Project description:Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, commonly known as black widow spider, is well known for its dangerous bite. Although its venom has been characterized extensively, some fundamental questions about its molecular composition remain unanswered. The limited transcriptome and genome data available prevent further understanding of spider venom at the molecular level. In the present study, we combined next-generation sequencing and conventional DNA sequencing to construct a venom gland transcriptome of the spider L. tredecimguttatus, which resulted in the identification of 9,666 and 480 high-confidence proteins among 34,334 de novo sequences and 1,024 cDNA sequences, respectively, by assembly, translation, filtering, quantification and annotation. Extensive functional analyses of these proteins indicated that mRNAs involved in RNA transport and spliceosome, protein translation, processing and transport were highly enriched in the venom gland, which is consistent with the specific function of venom glands, namely the production of toxins. Furthermore, we identified 146 toxin-like proteins forming 12 families, including 6 new families in this spider in which α-LTX-Lt1a family2 is firstly identified as a subfamily of α-LTX-Lt1a family. The toxins were classified according to their bioactivities into five categories that functioned in a coordinate way. Few ion channels were expressed in venom gland cells, suggesting a possible mechanism of protection from the attack of their own toxins. The present study provides a gland transcriptome profile and extends our understanding of the toxinome of spiders and coordination mechanism for toxin production in protein expression quantity.
