Project description:Genotyping arrays are tools for high throughput genotyping, which is required in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Since the first cucumber genome draft was reported, genetic maps were constructed mainly based on simple-sequence repeats (SSRs) or on combinations of SSRs and other sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP). In this study we developed the first cucumber genotyping array which consisted of 32,864 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). These markers cover the cucumber genome every 2.1Kb and have parents/F1 hybridizations as a training set. The training set was validated with Fludigm technology and had 98% concordance. The application of the genotyping array was illustrated by constructed a genetic map of 600 cM in length based on recombinant inbred lines (RIL) population of a 9930XGy14 cross of which compromise of 11564 SNPs. The markers collinearity between the genetic map and genome references of the two parents estimated as R2=0.97. Moreover, this comparison supports a translocation in the beginning of chromosome 5 that occurred in the lineage of 9930 and Gy14 as well as local variation in the recombination rate. We also used the array to investigate the local allele frequencies along the cucumber genome and found specific region with segregation distortions. We believe that the genotyping array together with the training set would be a powerful tool in applications such as quantitative-trait loci (QTL) analysis and GWAS.
Project description:ChIP-seq to identify sigma38 binding sites in wild-type and delta ssrS (6S RNA knockout) strains of E. Coli K-12 MG1655, during stationary phase ChIP-seq using antibody against sigma38 in wild-type and ssrS deletion strain. Two replicates for wild type and one replicate for ssrS deletion.
Project description:This entry refers to transcriptome analysis of five E. coli strains: E. coli K-12 MG1655, single deletions of rsd, ssrS, and rpoS, as well as a double deletion of rsd and ssrS, in five growth phases.
Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) is strictly regulated during cell differentiation and development. AS events are common in the testis, but the splicing regulation in spermatogenesis is still unclear. In this experiment, the third-generation ONT sequencing was used to sequence the full-length transcriptome of testicular tissue, and 40,038 new transcripts were obtained, and the proportion was almost close to the number of known transcripts identified. A total of 7,645 fused transcripts, 15,355 ASs, 25,798 SSRs, and 35,503 lncRNAs were detected. Through gene co-expression network analysis, the key pathways and Hub genes in each stage of yak testicular development were confirmed. The effects of alternative splicing and splicing variation on mammalian spermatogenesis will provide new insights into the potential application of alternative splicing in the treatment of male infertility.
