Project description:Transposon insertion site sequencing (TIS) is a powerful method for associating genotype to phenotype. However, all TIS methods described to date use short nucleotide sequence reads which cannot uniquely determine the locations of transposon insertions within repeating genomic sequences where the repeat units are longer than the sequence read length. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a TIS method using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology that generates and uses long nucleotide sequence reads; we have called this method LoRTIS (Long Read Transposon Insertion-site Sequencing). This experiment data contains sequence files generated using Nanopore and Illumina platforms. Biotin1308.fastq.gz and Biotin2508.fastq.gz are fastq files generated from nanopore technology. Rep1-Tn.fastq.gz and Rep1-Tn.fastq.gz are fastq files generated using Illumina platform. In this study, we have compared the efficiency of two methods in identification of transposon insertion sites.
Project description:Purpose: Establish a high-throughput method to transcriptionally define projection neurons, VECTORseq, that reimagines transgenes expressed by widely used retrogradely infecting viruses as multiplexed RNA barcodes that are detected in single-cell sequencing. Methods: mRNA profiles of adult mouse brains Conclusions: Retrograde viruses express mRNA at levels detectable in single-cell sequencing. Different transgenes can be multiplexed in a single sequencing run. VECTORseq identifies both cortical and subcortical projection neurons. VECTORseq defined new superior colliculus and zona incerta projection populations. Established a high-throughput method to transcriptionally define projection neurons, VECTORseq, that reimagines transgenes expressed by widely used retrogradely infecting viruses as multiplexed RNA barcodes that are detected in single-cell sequencing.

Project description:Here We revealed the complex mechanism of viviparity in water lily. The transcriptomic signatures identified in this pathway are important basis for future breeding and research of viviparity in water lily and other plant species.
Project description:We sequenced DNA from a bulk of Col x Ler F2 hybrid plants (WT and recq4) using Nanopore long-read sequencing and identified crossover sites with COmapper. For nanopore sequencing of gDNA from 1,000 pooled seedlings, 10-day-old seedlings were ground in liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle. The ground tissue was resuspended in four volumes of CTAB buffer (1% [w/v] CTAB, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.7 M NaCl, 10 mM EDTA) and incubated at 65°C for 30 min. Following chloroform extraction, isopropanol precipitation and removal of RNAs as above, the gDNA pellet was resuspended in 150 μl TE (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.1 mM EDTA) buffer and gDNA was quantified using a Qubit dsDNA Broad Range assay kit (Thermo Fisher, Q32853). Nine micrograms of gDNA from pollen or seedlings was used to construct a nanopore long-read sequencing library using a Ligation Sequencing Kit V14 (Nanopore, SQK-LSK114). The libraries were sequenced using a PromethION platform (BGI, Hong Kong).
Project description:The development of rapid and sensitive assays capable of detecting a wide range of infectious agents is critical for the effective diagnosis of diseases that have multiple etiologies. In recent years, many microarray-based diagnostics have been developed to identify viruses present in clinical specimens in a highly parallel fashion. Unfortunately, the rate of development of algorithms to interpret data generated from such platforms has not been commensurate. In particular, none of the existing interpretive algorithms is capable of utilizing empirical training data in a Bayesian framework. We have developed an interpretive algorithm, VIPR (Viral Identification using a PRobabilistic algorithm), to capitalize on our ability to generate positive control data for analysis of microbial diagnostic arrays. To illustrate this approach, we have focused on the analysis of viruses that cause hemorrhagic fever (HF). To assess the efficacy of VIPR, we hybridized 33 viruses to 100 microarrays and applied our algorithm to this dataset. A microarray composed of nearly 15,000 oligonucleotides was designed using a custom viral taxonomy-based strategy. The performance of VIPR was assessed by performing a leave-one-out cross validation. VIPR was able to identity the infecting virus with an accuracy of 94%. VIPR outperformed previously described algorithms for the set of HF viruses tested. Bayesian interpretative algorithms such as VIPR should be considered for diagnostic microarray applications. In this study, 33 viruses including virtually every known hemorrhagic fever virus and a selection of their close relatives were grown in culture and hybridized to 102 microarrays. In addition, 8 uninfected samples were hybridized (110 total hybridizations). These hybridizations were used to test a novel algorithm for diagnosing the infecting virus from a hybridization pattern.
Project description:We sequenced DNA from the leaves of ten Col x Ler F1 hybrid plants (WT and recq4) using Nanopore long-read sequencing and identified crossover sites with COmapper. These data were used as a negative control for COmapper, as no crossover sites were expected to be detected. For nanopore sequencing of gDNA from leaves, leaves from 10 5-week-old plants were ground in liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle. The ground tissue was resuspended in four volumes of CTAB buffer (1% [w/v] CTAB, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.7 M NaCl, 10 mM EDTA) and incubated at 65°C for 30 min. Following chloroform extraction, isopropanol precipitation and removal of RNAs as above, the gDNA pellet was resuspended in 150 μl TE (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.1 mM EDTA) buffer and gDNA was quantified using a Qubit dsDNA Broad Range assay kit (Thermo Fisher, Q32853).
