Project description:Here, we performed deep transcriptome sequencing for the aerial-tissues and the roots of S. japonica, generating over 2 billion raw reads with an average length of 101 nt by using an Illumina paired-end sequencing by HiSeq2000 platform. Using a combined approach of three popular assemblers, de novo transcriptome assembly for S. japonica was obtained, yielding in 81,729 unigenes with an average length as 884bps and N50-value as 1,452bps, with 46,963 unigenes being annotated based on the sequence similarity against NCBI-nr protein database.

Project description:To determine the distribution of centromere units in the genome of holocentric Chionographis japonica, we performed CENH3-ChIPseq using the customized species-specific CENH3 antibody. We mixed the chromatins of C. japonica and Secale cereal (inbred line Lo7) to dilute the highly abundant centromeric Chio satellite repeats (16%) in the C. japonica genome before immunoprecipitation. In addition, to determine the large-scale genome organization, we performed ChIPseq by targeting the evolutionarily conserved eu- and heterochromatin-specific histone marks H3K4me2 and H33K9me2
