Project description:Full-Length cDNA transcriptome (Iso-Seq) data sequenced on the PacBio Sequel system using 2.1 chemistry. Multiplexed cDNA library of 12 samples (3 tissues x 4 strains). Tissues: root, embryo, endosperm. Strains: B73, Ki11, B73xKi11, Ki11xB73.
Project description:Here we describe CapTrap-Seq, an experimental workflow designed to address the problem of reduced transcript end detection by long-read RNA sequencing methods, especially at the 5' ends. We apply CapTrap-Seq to profile transcriptomes of the human heart and brain and we compared the obtained results with other library preparation approaches. CapTrap-Seq is a platform-agnostic method and here tested the method by using 3 different long-read sequencing platforms: MinION (ONT), Sequel (PacBaio) and Sequel II (PacBio).
Project description:These data correspond to one SMRT cell sequencing run (performed on Sequel II, PacBio) of full length cDNAs from 3 pooled glioma stem cell line libraries. No tag was added to distinguish the 3 different samples
Project description:Phosphopeptides were purified using Titansphere. Before MS analysis, phosphopeptides were desalted using StageTips with C18 Empore disk membranes. Phosphopeptides were analysed by Orbitrap MS.The obtained MS and MS/MS spectra data were searched against Kazusa DNA Research Institute published lotus EST database using the MASCOT program (FDR<1%).
Project description:Lotus japonicus is a model legume broadly used to study transcriptome regulation under different stress conditions and microorganism interaction. Understanding how this model plant respond gainst alkaline stress will certainly help to develop more tolerant cultivars in economically important Lotus species as well as in other legumes. In order to uncover the most important response mechanisms activated during alkaline stress, we explored by microarray analysis the transcriptome regulation occurring in the phenotypically contrasting ecotypes MG-20 and Gifu B-129 of L. japonicus after 21 days of alkaline stress.
Project description:Lotus japonicus is a model plant for the legume family. To facilitate map-based cloning approaches and genome analysis, we performed an extensive characterization of the chromosome complement of the species. A detailed karyotype of L. japonicus Gifu was built and plasmid and BAC clones, corresponding to genetically mapped markers (see the accompanying article by Sandal et al. 2002, this issue), were used for FISH to correlate genetic and chromosomal maps. Hybridization of DNA clones from 32 different genomic regions enabled the assignment of linkage groups to chromosomes, the comparison between genetic and physical distances throughout the genome, and the partial characterization of different repetitive sequences, including telomeric and centromeric repeats. Additional analysis of L. filicaulis and its F(1) hybrid with L. japonicus demonstrated the occurrence of inversions between these closely related species, suggesting that these chromosome rearrangements are early events in speciation of this group.
Project description:Lotus japonicus is a well-characterized model legume widely used in the study of plant-microbe interactions. However, datasets from various Lotus studies are poorly integrated and lack interoperability. We recognize the need for a comprehensive repository that allows comprehensive and dynamic exploration of Lotus genomic and transcriptomic data. Equally important are user-friendly in-browser tools designed for data visualization and interpretation. Here, we present Lotus Base, which opens to the research community a large, established LORE1 insertion mutant population containing an excess of 120,000 lines, and serves the end-user tightly integrated data from Lotus, such as the reference genome, annotated proteins, and expression profiling data. We report the integration of expression data from the L. japonicus gene expression atlas project, and the development of tools to cluster and export such data, allowing users to construct, visualize, and annotate co-expression gene networks. Lotus Base takes advantage of modern advances in browser technology to deliver powerful data interpretation for biologists. Its modular construction and publicly available application programming interface enable developers to tap into the wealth of integrated Lotus data. Lotus Base is freely accessible at: https://lotus.au.dk.
Project description:The legume Lotus japonicus has been widely used as a model system to investigate the genetic background of legume-specific phenomena such as symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Here, we report structural features of the L. japonicus genome. The 315.1-Mb sequences determined in this and previous studies correspond to 67% of the genome (472 Mb), and are likely to cover 91.3% of the gene space. Linkage mapping anchored 130-Mb sequences onto the six linkage groups. A total of 10,951 complete and 19,848 partial structures of protein-encoding genes were assigned to the genome. Comparative analysis of these genes revealed the expansion of several functional domains and gene families that are characteristic of L. japonicus. Synteny analysis detected traces of whole-genome duplication and the presence of synteny blocks with other plant genomes to various degrees. This study provides the first opportunity to look into the complex and unique genetic system of legumes.
