Project description:Ephydatia muelleri is a cosmopolitan freshwater demosponge, with potential to become a model system. We have participated in a large collaborative project to sequence the genome (PRJNA579531), methylome, transcriptome for this species, aiming to better understand the biology of this sponge species. In terms of DNA methylation, it presents relatively low methylation levels compared to the methylomes of other sponges (A. queenslandica and S. ciliatum), suggesting quite a lot of varation within the sponge phylum.
Project description:We characterised the genome organization in non-bilaterian animals (sponge Ephydatia muelleri, ctenophores Mnemiopsis leidyi and Hormiphora californensis, placozoans Trichoplax adhaerens and Cladtertia collaboinventa, and cnidarian Nematostella vectensis) and close unicellular relatives (ichthyosporeans Sphaeroforma arctica, filasterean Capsaspora owczarzaki and choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta) by combining high-resolution chromosome conformation capture (Micro-C) with profiling of chromatin marks (ChIP-seq), accessible genomic regions (ATAC-seq) and gene expression (MARS-seq).
