Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of DNA methylations in Burkholderia pseudomallei. SMRTbell™ sequencing
Project description:Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) comprises opportunistic bacteria infecting hosts such as cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Bcc long-term infection of CF patient airways has been associated with emergence of phenotypic variation. Here we studied two Burkholderia multivorans clonal isolates (D2095 and D2214) displaying different morphotypes from a chronically infected CF patient in order to evaluate traits development during lung infection. Since the custom array described in platform GPL13356 was based on Burkholderia multivorans ATCC 17616 genome, here we performed a DNA-DNA hybridization to determine which probes of the array hybridize with our test genomes

Project description:Burkholderia glumae causes rice grain rot and sheath rot by producing toxoflavin, whose expression is regulated by quorum sensing (QS). The QS systems of the bacterium rely on N-octanoyl homoserine lactone, synthesized by TofI and its cognate receptor TofR, to activate toxoflavin biosynthesis genes and an IclR-type transcriptional regulator gene, qsmR. To understand genome-wide transcriptional profiling of QS signaling, we employed RNA-Seq of the wild type Burkholderia glumae BGR1 and two QS-defective mutants, BGS2 (BGR1 tofI::Ω) and BGS9 (BGR1 qsmR::Ω), with two different types of culture conditions including 6hr liquid culture (before onset QS) and 10hr liquid culture (after onset QS).
