Project description:In order to elucidate the infection mechanisms of Eimeria tenella and the chicken immune response, chickens were infected with Eimeria tenella strain Hougton sporozoites. Samples were taken at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 10 days post-infection and mRNA sequenced. A dual-RNA seq analysis was carried out, comparing the expression of infected chickens during each sampling time point with uninfected chickens and comparing E. tenella samples during the infection with a sample of pure sporozoites. The results show a variety of response signals in the chicken, both previously known and unknown, as well as a clear role for a variety of infection-related genes in E. tenella
Project description:We have sequenced a wild Prunus mume and constructed a reference sequence for this genome. In order to improve quality of gene models, RNA samples of five tissues (bud, leaf, root, stem, fruit) were extracted from the Prunus mume. To investigate tissue specific expression using the reference genome assembly and annotated genes, we extracted RNA samples of different tissues and conducted transcriptome sequencing and DEG analysis. Five RNA pools were created corresponding to different tissues of the Prunus mume.
