Project description:To verify genes that are directly regulated by BysR, we used DNA affinity purification sequencing analysis (DAP-seq) for genome-wide recognition of BysR binding sites in vitro. The HALO-fusion BysR protein was successfully expressed and purified. After affinity purification and sequencing, at least 22 million double-end reads per sample were generated and with > 99 % of reads uniquely mapped to the JP2-270 genome. A total of 470 enriched common peaks of two replicates with –log10(P-value) ≥ 2 were called . The mean width of DAP-seq peaks was < 1,000. In total, 367 (78%) of these peaks were found to locate in the -1 kbp to 1 kbp regions by the analysis of peak summit positions relative to the start codons of JP2-270 open reading frames.
Project description:Purpose: In order to identify the differentially expressed genes between wild type and ΔbysR, we performed RNA-seq analysis.Methods:All the isolates were cultured in CM medium for 24 h at 28℃. Three repetitions were performed for each treatment. The samples were sequenced on an Illumina Hiseq 2000 platform.Clean reads were obtained by removing reads containing adapter, reads containing ploy-N and low quality reads from raw data. Results:A total of 9-13 million clean reads were obtained per replicate, each read with an average length of 150 bp. The square (R2) of Pearson correlation coefficient is greater than 0.903 between samples (supplementary Fig. S1) indicated that the data had a good reproducibility. Differential expression analysis of samples from WT and ΔbysR was performed, and revealed 350 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) consisting of up-regulated (302) and down-regulated genes (48) (with p-adj<0.05, |log2(FoldChange)|> 1) in ΔbysR compared to the WT.
Project description:To assess the performance of our custom-designed pan-genome microarray and characterize the differences in gene content between JP2 and non-JP2 genotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans.
Project description:To characterize the differences in pattern of gene expression between JP2 and non-JP2 genotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans. Transcriptome analysis of 3 strains of JP2 and 2 strains of non-JP2 genotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans was performed
