Project description:We deep sequenced and analyzed miRNAs using deep RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in cage rearing and traditional breeding duck's duodenum sample of Nonghu NO.2 duck. 21 differentially expressed miRNA were identified in the duodenum. 6 miRNAs were upregulated and 15 were downregulated in the cage rearing duck's duodenum of the Nonghu NO.2 duck compared to their expression in the control group. These findings provided insights into the expression profiles of miRNAs in duck duodenum, and deepened our understanding of miRNAs in oxidative injury of duck.
Project description:The objective of this study is to profile microRNA expressed in embryonic breast muscle of duck, analyze the conservation across multiple species and identify candidate microRNAs associated with duck muscle development. microRNA sequencing analysis was performed using female breast muscle samples at embryonic stage 13th day (E13) and embryonic stage 19th day (E19).
Project description:The quality and yield of duck feathers are very important economic traits that might be controlled by miRNA regulation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanism underlying the crosstalk between individual miRNAs and the activity of signaling pathways that control the growth of duck feathers during different periods.
Project description:The objective of this study was to identify candidate circular RNAs associated with duck muscle development. circRNA sequencing analysis was employed using female breast muscle samples embryo stage 13th day (E13) and embryo stage 19th day (E19). RNA-seq data and validation experiment in duck myoblast cells showed that circGAS2-2 significantly differential expressed between E13 and E19 group.
Project description:We deep sequenced and analyzed miRNAs using deep RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in transported and control duck's duodenum sample of Jingjiang duck. We analyzed the miRNA data with 9467248 reads and 9808143 million reads, obtained 9338224 and 9677777 clean reads in transported and control duck's by high-throughput sequencing, respectively. we respectively gained 4636135 and 4759049 miRNAs sequences in two groups by filtering the known non-miRNA reads, such as rRNA, tRNA, snRNA, and snoRNA by screening against ncRNA deposited in the GenBank and Rfam databases. These findings provided insights into the expression profiles of miRNAs in duck duodenum, and deepened our understanding of miRNAs in transportation injury of duck.
Project description:The fungal skin disease chytridiomycosis has caused the devastating decline and extinction of hundreds of amphibian species globally, yet the potential for evolving resistance, and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. We exposed 406 naïve, captive-raised alpine tree frogs (Litoria verreauxii alpina) to the aetiological agent Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in two concurrent and controlled infection experiments. We investigated (A) survival outcomes and clinical pathogen burdens between populations and clutches, and (B) individual host tissue responses to chytridiomycosis. Here we present multiple interrelated datasets associated with these exposure experiments, including animal signalment, survival and pathogen burden of 355 animals from Experiment A, and the following datasets related to 61 animals from Experiment B: animal signalment and pathogen burden; raw RNA-Seq reads from skin, liver and spleen tissues; de novo assembled transcriptomes for each tissue type; raw gene expression data; annotation data for each gene; and raw metabolite expression data from skin and liver tissues. These data provide an extensive baseline for future analyses.
