Project description:Although many studies have focused on dimorphic switching, noncoding RNAs in Talaromyces marneffei have been neglected until now. rRNA depletion RNA-seq with or without RNase R treatment were performed in mycelium and yeast conditions of Talaromyces marneffei by to unveil the functions of circRNAs in dimorphic switching.
Project description:Coccidioides immitis (C. immitis) is a dimorphic fungus that causes disease in mammals including human beings. It grows as a mycelium in the soil but differentiates into a pathogenic structure called a spherule in the host. We compared the transcriptome of C. immitis mycelia and day 2 and day 8 spherules grown in vitro using a custom custom oligonucleotide microarray from Nimblegen.
