Project description:Owenia fusiformis is an ancestral sister group to the annelids, it has a unique "head larvae" type named mitraria larvae. To identify the gene expressed in different tissues, especially the gene expressed in head region, we dissected the 5 female worms and 1 male worm to get 9 different tissues, and extracted their RNA. The sequencing were performed on BGISEQ-500 platform, and the mapping were done with Kallisto and normalization was performed with DEseq2.
Project description:Owenia fusiformis has a unique mitraria larvae form which is different to other marine spiralians. we utilize RNA-seq and ATAC-seq to profile the gene expression and chromatin accessibility to understand their development and evolution.
