Project description:DNA sequencing is a critical tool in modern biology. Over the last two decades, it has been revolutionized by the advent of massively parallel sequencing, leading to significant advances in genome and transcriptome sequencing of various organisms. Nevertheless, challenges such as accuracy, lack of competitive options and prohibitive costs associated with high throughput parallel short-read sequencing persist. Here, we conduct a comparative analysis between the Element Biosciences AVITI platform and its counterpart the Illumina NextSeq platform, testing DNA and RNA short-read sequencing, as well as synthetic long-read sequencing for single cells and RNA transcripts.

Project description:Genome-wide gene expression data were generated for wildtype and set4 mutant yeast under aerobic and hypoxic conditions to determine the contribution of Set4 to gene expression. Illumina-based sequencing was performed on strand-specific libraries prepared from mRNA purified from yeast grown in rich medium aerobically or under hypoxia. Reads were processed for qualiy control, mapped to the genome, and differential gene expression was determined based on log fold-change differences between set4 mutants and wildtype.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to globally characterize the transcript levels of genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae WT and set4∆ strains during hypoxia. Using transcriptome profiling of isogenic WT and set4∆ strains grown under aerobic or 8 hours of hypoxia. We analyzed the changes in gene expression that occur during aerobic and hypoxic conditions and identified sets of upregulated and downregulated gene expression.
