Project description:Using RNA sequencing and de novo transcript assembly, we identified 4516 lncRNAs expressed in 8 different stages of B cell development and activation. Chromatin immuno-precipitation sequencing was used to classify a substantial fraction (38%) of these lncRNAs as enhancer-associated or promoter-associated RNAs (eRNAs or pRNAs). A catalogue of lncRNAs expressed in eight murine B cell populations
Project description:We describe an application of deep sequencing and de novo assembly of short RNA reads to investigate small interfering (si)RNAs mediated immunity in leaf samples from eight tree taxa naturally occurring in Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire, UK. BLAST search for homologues of contigs in the GenBank identified siRNA populations against a number of RNA viruses and a Ty1-copia retrotransposons in these tree species.
