Project description:RNAseq was used to map transcription start sites globally in wild type Escherichia coli. Total RNA was isolated from cells grown in LB media until exponential phase.
Project description:Cappable-seq was used to map transcription start sites globally in wild type Bacillus subtilis. Total RNA was isolated from cells grown in LB media until exponential phase. RNA corresponding to transcription start sites was capped with a 5' biotin tag, which was used for enrichment via a pull down with streptavidin beads. Enriched RNA was converted to cDNA and then subjected to illumina sequencing.
Project description:The mammalian sex-determining gene Sry induces male development. Through analyzing transcriptome of pre-Sertoli cells, we identified a novel sequence transcribed within palindromic sequence surrounding Sry. To examine whether this sequence contains transcription start site, Cap analysis gene expression (CAGE) -seq analysis was performed, in which putative transcriptional start sites can be identified by sequencing the 3’ end of cDNA corresponding to 5’ end of RNA. CAGE seq revealed that Cap site was absent within the novel sequence, whereas Sry transcription start site found to locate in minus strand at chrY:2,663,800-2,663,900. Combining the result from long-read RNA seq, we concluded that this sequence is the second exon of mouse Sry.
