Project description:description Blastocystis sp. is a highly prevalent anaerobic eukaryotic parasite of humans and animals. The genome of several representatives has been sequenced revealing specific traits such as an intriguing 3’-end processing of primary transcripts. We have acquired a first high-throughput proteomics dataset on the difficult to cultivate ST4 isolate WR1 and detected 2,761 proteins. We evidenced for the first time by proteogenomics a functional termination codon derived from transcript polyadenylation for seven different key cellular components.
Project description:Embryonic diapause is a widely occurring evolutionary adaptation phenomenon in animals. Artemia is one of the classic animal models for diapause research. The current studies of Artemia diapause mainly focus on the induction and maintenance of the embryonic diapause, but there is little research on the molecular regulatory mechanism of Artemia embryonic diapause termination (EDT) and embryonic reactivation. Here the gene expression of Artemia cyst at 30min after embryonic diapause termination (EDT), which is in post-diapause stage were tested by ATAC-seq to analyze the mechanism of signal regulation involved in Artemia EDT at the molecular level.
