Project description:Raw RNAseq data from ferns sampled in Singapore. Organ specific samples were selected for assembly via denovo assembly for comparative transcriptomics.
Project description:Genotyping of RpoD mutants via amplicon sequencing from the following manuscript: \\"Systematic dissection of σ70 sequence diversity and function in bacteria\\" by Park and Wang (2020). Includes raw sequencing reads from samples from MAGE-seq single codon saturation mutagenesis and high-throughput fitness competition experiment as well as the RpoD ortholog mutants generated through recombineering and CRISPR selection.
Project description:Pathways underlying miRNA biogenesis, degradation, and activity were established early in land plant evolution, but the 24-nt siRNA pathway that guides DNA methylation was incomplete in early land plants, especially lycophytes. We show that the functional diversification of key gene families such as DICER-LIKE and ARGONAUTE (AGO) as observed in angiosperms occurred early in land plants followed by parallel expansion of the AGO family in ferns and angiosperms. We uncovered an unexpected AGO family specific to lycophytes and ferns. Our phylogenetic analyses of miRNAs in lycophytes, bryophytes, ferns, and angiosperms refined the temporal origination of conserved miRNA families in land plants.
