Project description:We have completed the high quality reference genome for domestic sheep (Oar v3.1). Early-stage Illumina GA sequence platform sequenced less reads in high GC content regions than in other regions. To read through higher GC content regions, we generated 2 Gb MeDIP-seq data for filling gaps in sheep reference genome assembly.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Ovine skin samples comparing pigmentation samples from piebald and normal Merino sheep All pair comparison of 5 pigmentation samples with dye swaps. Dye swaps were performed with different biological replicates (labelled 1 or 2) NOR - White sample from a normal, non-affected wild-type individual sheep PBB - Black sample from a piebald individual sheep PBW - White sample from a piebald individual sheep RSB - Black sample from a recessive black sheep RSW - White sample from a recissive black sheep taken from the inguinal, non-pigmented area.
Project description:Genome editing was conducted on a t(3;8) K562 model to investigate the effects of deleting different modules or CTCF binding sites within the MYC super-enhancer. To check mutations after targeting with CRISPR-Cas9 we performed amplicon sequencing using the Illumina PCR-based custom amplicon sequencing method using the TruSeq Custom Amplicon index kit (Illumina). The first PCR was performed using Q5 polymerase (NEB), the second nested PCR with KAPA HiFi HotStart Ready mix (Roche). Samples were sequenced paired-end (2x 250bp) on a MiSeq (Illumina).

Project description:BmN4 cells are cultured cells derived from Bombyx mori ovaries and widely used to study transposon silencing by PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). A high-accurate genome sequence of BmN4 cells is required to analyze the piRNA pathway using RNA-seq. The genome sequence of BmN4 cells was assembled using Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) HiFi and Oxford Nanopore technology Ultralong (ONT-UL) reads. Microscopic observation and image analysis showed that BmN4 cells were octoploid on average, and the number of chromosomes per cell was highly variable. We concluded the haplotype-resolved assembly of such a complex genome would be difficult; therefore, we assembled a consensus genome sequence. RNA-seq analysis of Siwi knockdown cells also revealed that Siwi-piRISC may target Countdown (Cd), an LTR retrotransposon. By comparing the consensus genome sequence with the reads, we identified differences between haplotypes, particulary structural variants, suggesting that some transposons, including Countdown, increased their copy number in BmN4 cells.
Project description:The Yeonsan Ogye (Ogye) is the rare black chicken breed domesticated in Korean peninsula, which has been noted for entire black color upon its appearances including feather, skin, comb, eyes, shank, claws and internal organs. In this study, whole genome, transcriptome and epigenome sequencings of Ogye were performed using high-throughput NGS sequencing platforms. We have produced Illumina short-reads (Paired-End, Mate-Pair and FOSMID) and PacBio long-reads for whole genome sequencing (WGS), 1.4 billion reads for RNA-seq, and 123 million reads for RRBS (reduced representation bisulfite sequencing) data. Using WGS data, Ogye genome has been assembled, and coding/non-coding transcriptome maps were constructed on Ogye genome given largescale sequencing data. We have predicted 17,472 (3,550 newly annotated and 13,922 known) protein-coding transcripts, and 9,443 (6,689 novel and 2,754 known) long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).
