Project description:The Mouse Genomes Project ( http://www.sanger.ac.uk/science/data/mouse-genomes-project ) uses using next-generation sequencing technologies to catalogue molecular variation in the common laboratory mouse strains, and a selected set of wild-derived inbred strains. Access to complete sequence of multiple inbred strains will add to these resources and will become a permanent foundation for a systems biology approach to phenotypic variation in the mouse. In this particular study, we have sequenced the transcriptome of whole-brain tissue from 16 laboratory mouse strains to examine differences in gene expression levels, differential RNA-editing, and for use in de novo gene prediction.
Project description:The Global Pandemic Lineage (GPL) of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been described as a main driver of amphibian extinctions on nearly every continent. Near complete genome of three Bd-GPL strains have enabled studies of the pathogen but the genomic features that set Bd-GPL apart from other Bd lineages is not well understood due to a lack of high-quality genome assemblies and annotations from other lineages. We used long-read DNA sequencing to assemble high-quality genomes of three Bd-BRAZIL isolates and one non-pathogen outgroup species Polyrhizophydium stewartii (Ps) strain JEL0888, and compared these to genomes of previously sequenced Bd-GPL strains. The Bd-BRAZIL assemblies range in size between 22.0 and 26.1 Mb and encode 8495-8620 protein-coding genes for each strain. Our pan-genome analysis provided insight into shared and lineage-specific gene content. The core genome of Bd consists of 6278 conserved gene families, with 202 Bd-BRAZIL and 172 Bd-GPL specific gene families. We discovered gene copy number variation in pathogenicity gene families between Bd-BRAZIL and Bd-GPL strains though none were consistently expanded in Bd-GPL or Bd-BRAZIL strains. Comparison within the Batrachochytrium genus and two closely related non-pathogenic saprophytic chytrids identified variation in sequence and protein domain counts. We further test these new Bd-BRAZIL genomes to assess their utility as reference genomes for transcriptome alignment and analysis. Our analysis examines the genomic variation between strains in Bd-BRAZIL and Bd-GPL and offers insights into the application of these genomes as reference genomes for future studies.

Project description:B. kashiwanohense PV20-2 and B. pseudolongum PV8-2 are strains isolated from breast fed iron deficient Kenyan infants, selected for their high iron sequestration mechanisms and their genome was completely sequenced. Based on their high iron sequestration features we hypothesized that B. kashiwanohense PV20-2 and B. pseudolongum PV8-2, possess iron related genes and excrete iron binding proteins in the culture media under iron limited conditions. Thus, the complete genomes of B. kashiwanohense PV20-2 and B. pseudolongum PV8-2 were compared to other bifidobacterial genomes to identify genes potentially involved in iron metabolism and the coding sequences from the genome were used as a scaffold to identify the extracellular proteome of both strains grown under low iron conditions using a gel-based shotgun proteomic approach.
