Project description:Medicago truncatula endogenous small RNAs The dataset contains Medicago truncatula Gaertn. cv. Jemalong endogenous small RNA sequences in the range 18-28 nucleotides. High-throughput Solexa/Illumina sequencing was carried out at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, UK. Please see www.illumina.com for details of the technology. Small RNA sequences were mapped to Medicago truncatula genome release 2.0 (http://www.medicago.org/genome/), the number of matches to the unfinished genome, if any, is recorded in the Series supplementary file GSE13761_sequence_annotations.txt.gz.
Project description:ABI3 is a B3-domain transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of seed maturation. To identify genes that are regulated by this transcription factor in the model legume Medicago truncatula, Medicago hairy roots were generated using Agrobacterium rhizogenes transformed with the genomic sequence of the ABI3 gene of Medicago. Using the Medicago NimbleGen chip, a transciptomic analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes compared to the GUS expressed control.
