Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Amanita muscaria ectomycorrhizal root tips compared to free-living mycelium . Ectomycorrhizal root tips and control mycelium were harvested after 6 weeks and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 150 bp were generated and aligned to Amanita muscaria transcripts (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Amamu1) using CLC Genomics Workbench 7. mRNA profiles from Amanita muscaria ectomycorrhizal root tips and free-living mycelium were generated by Illumina HiSeq2000 sequencing (150bp). Two biological replicates were sequenced for mycorrhizal and mycelium samples.

Project description:Studying whether removal of base-excision repair from mitochondria will result into increase in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation load. The endogenous genes of OGG1 and MUTYH DNA glycosylases were modified to lack the genomic region encoding for the predicted mitochondrial targeting sequence. The mouse lines used: A mouse line that lacks the region encoding for the mitochondrial targeting sequence (L2 to W23) of OGG1 (Ogg1 dMTS mice). A mouse line that lacks the region encoding the mitochondrial targeting sequence (K2 to P33) of MUTYH (Mutyh dMTS mice). To accumulate mutations to the mitochondrial DNA these mice were bred double homozygous Mutyh dMTS x Ogg1 dMTS mice as a maternal lineage for five consecutive generations and mitochondrial DNA from liver was extracted from the offspring and sequenced with Illumina. OGG1 and MUTYH are involved in repair of 8-oxo-dG from DNA. 8-oxo-dG can be a mutagenic lesion because some DNA repair polymerases are known to erroneously incorporate adenosine opposite to 8-oxo-dG during replication leading to GC>TA transversion mutations.
