Project description:Objectives: determination of transcription start sites in Vibrio harveyi genome and discovery of new transcripts Methods: we performed differential seqencing of total RNA isolated from o.n. control Vibrio harveyi cultures. Sample treatment with Terminator EXonuclease (TEX) allowed differenciation of primary and secondary transcripts, helping in the definition of transcription start sites (TSS) Results: by data-mining RNA-seq data and performing some Northern Blot experiments we were able to detect new putative small-RNAs, along with these results, a more deep analisys of our RNA-seq data will give futher insight into genetic organization of Vibrio harveyi genome to help in its investigation
Project description:In this research, we used RNA-sequencing technology to detect genome-wide differentially expressed genes in spleen and gill of Vibrio harveyi -infected Takifugu rubripes.This high-throughput sequencing could help us to understand new mechanisms of action of V. harveyi induced aquaculture fish disease.
Project description:Vibrio harveyi is a major bacterial pathogen that can cause fatal vibriosis in Chinese tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis). To comprehend the molecular mechanisms of C. semilaevis host response against V. harveyi infection, we performed transcriptome (RNA-seq) analysis of C. semilaevis from resistant family and susceptible family.
