Project description:To obtain an overview of the transcriptome landscape in developing pig skeletal muscle, 81 high-quality transcriptome libraries that covered 27 developmental stages (3 biological replicates per stage) in pig skeletal muscle were produced by strand-specific rRNA-depleted total RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). We generated 8.59 billion paired-end reads (150 bp × 2) covering 1.24 Tb of sequence for RNA-seq.
Project description:To obtain an overview of the methylome landscape in the developing pig skeletal muscle, 81 high-quality whole-genome bisulfite sequencing(WGBS) libraries that covered 27 developmental stages (3 biological replicates per stage) from embryonic day 33 (E33) to postnatal day 180 (D180) were produced by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing.
Project description:Skeletal muscle were collected from pigs treated in the control group, the Lys deficiency group and the Lys rescue group. Then, the samples were analyzed by LC-MSMS.
Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in diverse biological processes. However, the landscape of lncRNAs is largely unclear in Sus scrofa. Here we performed stranded RNA-seq on total RNA libraries from over 100 samples of Sus scrofa tissues. We identified 10,813 lncRNAs in Sus scrofa, of which 9,075 are novel. 57% of these lncRNAs were conserved in both human and mouse. These conserved lncRNAs tend to be more tissue-specific than pig-specific lncRNAs, and enriched in reproducible organs (i.e. testis and ovary). We characterized a group of lncRNAs potentially involved in the skeletal muscle development. One such lncRNA, a homolog of maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3), was specifically expressed in the skeletal muscle at early developmental stage. And its expression pattern is conserved in pig and mouse. By over-expressing and knocking down MEG3 in mouse myoblast cell lines, we demonstrated its novel function as a myoblast proliferation suppressor.
