Project description:To understand widespread differences in the DNA methylation patterns of Conyza canadensis leaf samples from its native and non-native ranges. Using Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing, we found average read coverages in high mapped reads across native and non-native samples of Conyza canadensis. Using R bioconductor package, we found enrichment score of methylated sites in both native and non-native samples. while analyzing CG, CHG and CHH methylation, we found relatively low CG and CHG methylation across transcriptional units in natives over non-natives. However, differentially methylated regions were found to be 53% hypomethylated and 41% hypermethylated in non-natives on genic regions.
Project description:We used RNAseq to quantify trascript expression from three populations of Conyza sumatrensis before and 5 hours after treatment with 2,4-D. This study investigates different responses between a 2,4-D resistant biotype compared to a 2,4-D sensitive biotype.
