Project description:Background: The soil environment is responsible for sustaining most terrestrial plant life on earth, yet we know surprisingly little about the important functions carried out by diverse microbial communities in soil. Soil microbes that inhabit the channels of decaying root systems, the detritusphere, are likely to be essential for plant growth and health, as these channels are the preferred locations of new root growth. Understanding the microbial metagenome of the detritusphere and how it responds to agricultural management such as crop rotations and soil tillage will be vital for improving global food production. Methods: The rhizosphere soils of wheat and chickpea growing under + and - decaying root were collected for metagenomics sequencing. A gene catalogue was established by de novo assembling metagenomic sequencing. Genes abundance was compared between bulk soil and rhizosphere soils under different treatments. Conclusions: The study describes the diversity and functional capacity of a high-quality soil microbial metagenome. The results demonstrate the contribution of the microbiome from decaying root in determining the metagenome of developing root systems, which is fundamental to plant growth, since roots preferentially inhabit previous root channels. Modifications in root microbial function through soil management, can ultimately govern plant health, productivity and food security.
Project description:DNA, RNA and protein were extracted from the culture and subjected to massive parallel sequencing and nano-LC-MS-MS respectively Combination of these methods enabled the reconstruction of the complete genome sequence of M oxyfera from the metagenome and identification of the functionally relevant enzymes and genes
Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of histone modifications in mammalian cells. The three histone marks acetylation of histone 3 at lysine residue 27 (H3K27ac), trimethylation of histone 3 at lysine residue 4 (H3K4me3) and trimethylation of histone 3 at lysine residue 36 (H3K36me3) were selected, representing marks for an open chromatin structure and enable gene transcription. The two histone marks standing for a condensed chromatin state and disabled gene transcription trimethylation of histone 3 at lysine residue 27 (H3K27me3) and trimethylation of histone 3 at lysine residue 9 (H3K9me3) were chosen. ChIP sequencing of the five histone marks was investigated in high-risk TERT-rearranged neuroblastoma GI-ME-N cells treated with solvent or HDAC inhibitor panobinostat. Exemplary samples include solvent-treated and panobinostat-treated samples after 18 h of treatment.
