Project description:Pea (Pisum. sativum L.) is a traditional and important edible legume that can be sorted into grain pea and vegetable pea according to their harvested maturely or not. Vegetable pea by eating the fresh seed is becoming more and more popular in recent years. These two type peas display huge variations of the taste and nutrition, but how seed development and nutrition accumulation of grain pea and vegetable pea and their differences at the molecular level remains poorly understood. To understand the genes and gene networks regulate seed development in grain pea and vegetable pea, high throughput RNA-Seq and bioinformatics analysis were used to compare the transcriptomes of vegetable pea and grain pea developing seed. RNA-Seq generated 18.7 G raw data, which was then de novo assembled into 77,273 unigenes with a mean length of 930 bp. Functional annotation of the unigenes was carried out using the nr, Swiss-Prot, COG, GO and KEGG databases. There were 459 and 801 genes showing differentially expressed between vegetable pea and grain pea at early and late seed maturation phases, respectively. Sugar and starch metabolism related genes were dramatically activated during pea seed development. The up-regulated of starch biosynthesis genes could explain the increment of starch content in grain pea then vegetable pea; while up-regulation of sugar metabolism related genes in vegetable pea then grain pea should participate in sugar accumulation and associated with the increase in sweetness of vegetable pea then grain pea. Furthermore, transcription factors were implicated in the seed development regulation in grain pea and vegetable pea. Thus, our results constitute a foundation in support of future efforts for understanding the underlying mechanism that control pea seed development and also serve as a valuable resource for improved pea breeding.

Project description:The present prospective study included a total number of 3 patients with a final diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), who were treated by pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) at the Kerckhoff Heart and Thorax Center between 2016 and 2020. Biopsies of the myocardial interventricular septum from 3 patients were collected at baseline (BL) before PEA surgery (pre-septal-PEA) In this case, to account for technical and safety aspects, the specimens were taken from the myocardial interventricular septum. The aim of the Study was a comparative characterization of RNA-profiles of septum in CTEPH patients after PEA surgery (postPEA) compared to before PEA surgery (pre-septal-PEA).
Project description:The early exposure to the artificial odorant phenyl ethyl alcohol (PEA) is correlated with odor memory formation and the changes in gene expression in olfactory epithelium of zebrafish. In this study we performed a transcriptomic analysis using RNA seq, in order to compare the gene expression in the olfactory epithelium of adult zebrafish between PEA exposed fish during the early development and non-exposed fish
Project description:Development of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain mainly depends on the processes of starch synthesis and storage protein accumulation, which are critical for grain yield and quality. However, the regulatory network underlying the transcriptional and physiological changes of grain development is still not clear. Here, we combined ATAC-seq and RNA-seq to discover the chromatin accessibility and gene expression dynamics during these processes. We found that the chromatin accessibility changes are tightly associated with differential expressions and the proportion of distal ACRs were increased gradually during grain development. Specific transcription factor (TF) binding sites were enriched at different stages, and were diversified among the 3 subgenomes. We further predicted the potential interactions between key TFs and genes related with starch and storage protein biosynthesis and found different copies of some key TFs played diversified roles. Overall, our findings have provided numerous resources and illustrated the regulatory network during wheat grain development, which would shed lights on the improvement of wheat yields and qualities.
Project description:Sensitivity to cisplatin is increased in SKOV-3 cells after transfecting the cells with unphosphorylatable PEA-15 (PEA-15AA) but not in cells transfected with the empty vector and phosphomimetic PEA-15 (PEA-15DD). In order to investigate the regulation of the underlying genes that increased the sensitivity to cisplatin after transfection with PEA-15AA, a small and well-annotated Clariom S gene microarray was performed.
Project description:The first GSSM of V. vinifera was reconstructed (MODEL2408120001). Tissue-specific models for stem, leaf, and berry of the Cabernet Sauvignon cultivar were generated from the original model, through the integration of RNA-Seq data. These models have been merged into diel multi-tissue models to study the interactions between tissues at light and dark phases.
Project description:The present prospective study included a total number of 71 patients with a final diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), who were treated by pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) at the Kerckhoff Heart and Thorax Center between 2016 and 2020. Biopsies of the free right ventricular wall from 71 patients were collected at baseline (BL) during PEA. In a subgroup of 24 patients, myocardial interventricular septum biopsie were obtained during right heart catheterization (RHC) 12 months after PEA (postPEA) In this case, to account for technical and safety aspects, the specimens were taken from the myocardial interventricular septum. Patients were grouped in severe, intermediat and moderate risk according to 1 year mortality risk by applying a modified version of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines risk stratification model according to their BL characteristics. The aim of the Study was: a) A comparative characterization of RNA-profiles in CTEPH patients with disease status at baseline prior to PEA therapy; b): An assessment of dynamics of the RNA-profiles in CTEPH patients pre and post PEA.
Project description:Bioinformatic prediction, deep sequencing of microRNA and expression analysis during phenotypic plasticity in the pea aphid acyrthosiphon pisum We developed high throughput Solexa sequencing and bioinformatic analyses of the genome of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum in order to identify the first miRNAs from a hemipteran insect. By combining these methods we identified 155 miRNAs including 56 conserved and 99 new miRNAs. Moreover, we investigated the regulation of these miRNAs in different alternative morphs of the pea aphid by analysing the expression of miRNAs across the switch of reproduction mode.
Project description:When GPC transcription factor in hexaploid wheat is down-regulated by stable RNA interference (GPC RNAi), senescence is significantly delayed and grain protein content together with the overall nutrient partitioning to the grain is greatly reduced. mRNA-seq was used to catalogue the genes that are regulated by the GPC transcription factor during monocarpic senescence.
