Project description:Cytosine methylation is a base modification that is often used by genomes to store information that is stably inherited through mitotic cell divisions. Most cytosine DNA methylation is stable throughout different cell types or by exposure to different environmental conditions in plant genomes. Here, we profile the epigenomes of ~100 Glycine max lines to explore the extent of natural epigenomic variation. We also use these data to determine the extent to which DNA methylation variants are linked to genetic variations.
Project description:The R-loop is a common chromatin feature presented from prokaryotic to eukaryotic genomes and has been revealed to be involved in multiple cellular processes and associated with many human diseases. Here, we take the advantage of our recently developed ssDRIP-seq method to profile genome-wide R-loop levels of soybean (Glycine max).
Project description:This research uses terminal branches from a wild poplar tree to track somatic genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptional changes. Using a multi-omics approach, we aim to identify and describe mutations which arise during the lifetime of a long-lived perennial plant.

Project description:These data belong to a metabolic engineering project that introduces the reductive glycine pathway for formate assimilation in Cupriavidus necator. As part of this project we performed short-term evolution of the bacterium Cupriavidus necator H16 to grow on glycine as sole carbon and energy source. Some mutations in a putiative glycine transporting systems facilitated growth, and we performed transcriptomics on the evolved strain growing on glycine. Analysis of these transcriptomic data lead us to the discovery of a glycine oxidase (DadA6), which we experimentally demonstrated to play a key role in the glycine assimilation pathay in C. necator.
