Project description:Agarwood is an expensive resinous heartwood derived from the wounded Aquilaria plants. To identify the primary genes that maybe related to agarwood formation, we sequenced 2 cDNA libraries generated from healthy and wounded A. sinensis (Lour.) Gilg. A total of 89,137 unigenes with an average length of 678.65 bp were obtained, and they were annotated in detail at bioinformatics levels. Of those associated with agarwood formation, 30 putatively encoded enzymes in the sesquiterpene biosynthesis pathway, a handful of transcription factors, and protein kinases related to wound signal transduction. Three full-length cDNAs of sesquiterpene synthases (ASS1-3) were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and enzyme assays revealed that they are active enzymes, with the major products being M-NM-4-guaiene. A methyl jasmonate (MJ) induction experiment revealed that the expression of ASS was significantly induced by MJ, and the production of sesquiterpenes was elevated accordingly. The expression of some transcription factors and protein kinases, especially MYB4, WRKY4, MPKK2 and MAPK2, was also induced by MJ and coordinated with ASS expression, suggesting they maybe positive regulators of ASS. This study provides extensive transcriptome information for Aquilaria spp. and valuable clues for elucidating the mechanism of wound-induced agarwood sesquiterpenes biosynthesis and their regulation. healthy and wounded stems of three-year-old A. sinensis trees
Project description:The transcriptome profiling five tissues of juvenile Eriocheir sinensis, including gill, muscle, thoracic ganglion, eyestalk and hepatopancreas, were sequenced to get the basic dataset for constructed a genome-scale metabolic network model for E. sinensis. The model was used to predict the optimal nutrient requirements of E. sinensis in feed and suggestions for feed improvement were put forward based on the simulation results.

Project description:We investigate the global miRNA expression profile of An. sinensis using illumine Hiseq 2000 sequencing.The annotation and prediction of miRNAs lays the foundation for the further functional study of An. sinensis miRNAs and will facilitate their application in vector control.
Project description:We profile transcriptome-wide m6A in female and male Anopheles sinensis and reveal that m6A is also a highly conserved modification of mRNA in mosquitoes were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using illumina Novaseq™ 6000. Distinct from mammals and yeast, but similar to Arabidopsis thaliana, m6A in An. sinensis is enriched not only around the stop codon and within 3’-untranslated regions, but also around the start codon and 5’-UTR. Gene ontology analysis indicates that the unique distribution pattern of m6A in An. sinensis is associated with mosquito sex-specific pathways. In addition, the positive correlation between m6A deposition and mRNA abundance indicates that m6A can play roles in regulating gene expression in mosquitoes. Our study proposed a transcriptional regulatory network of m6A in An. sinensis, which may provide a new clue for the control of this disease-transmitting vector.
Project description:Purpose: transcriptome sequencing of Conopomorpha sinensis Methods: high-through Illumina HiSeqTM 2000 Results:66017 transcripts,35383 unigenes Conclusions:This study provided valuable transcriptome data for the litchi fruit borer, which was the first fundamental genomic basis for exploiting gene resources from the litchi fruit borer
Project description:The Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) is anadromous fish distributed in Yangtze River and East China Sea. In this study, we reported cleft-palate Chinese sturgeons in artificial population for the first time. In order to explore the genetic basis of palate malformation in A. sinensis, Illumina RNA-seq technology was used to analyze the transcriptome data of normal and cleft-palate individuals in farmed Chinese sturgeons. Raw reads were obtained and assembled into 808,612 unigenes, with an average length of 509.33 bp and an N50 of 574 bp. Sequence similarity analyses against four public databases (Nr, Uniprot, KEGG and COGs) found 158,642 unigenes that can be annotated. GABAergic synapse and TGF-β signal pathway were the most two enriched pathways with high Richfactor in the analyses of different expressed genes. In these two signal pathways, six genes (GABRA4, GS, GNS, S6K, PITX2, and BMP8) were found as cleft-palate genes in Chinese sturgeon. These findings contribute to our understanding of the genetic basis of cleft palate in sturgeon, while simultaneously adding to our knowledge about craniofacial development.
