Project description:We did whole-genome methylation sequencing for 21 Vaccinium samples. This project attempts to analyze the improvement breeding process of cultivated blueberry from two aspects of heredity and epigenetic inheritance.
Project description:In the present study, we employed the high-throughput sequencing technology to profile miRNAs in blueberry fruits. A total of 9,992,446 small RNA tags with sizes ranged from 18 to 30 nt were obtained, indicating that blueberry fruits have a large and diverse small RNA population. Bioinformatic analysis has identified 412 conserved miRNAs, which belong to 20 families, and 57 predicted novel miRNAs likely unique to blueberries. Among them, expression profiles of 5 conserved miRNAs were validated by stem loop qRT-PCR. Furthermore, the potential target genes of the abundant conserved and novel miRNAs were predicted and subjected for Gene Ontology (GO) annotation. Enrichment analysis of the GO-represented biological processes and molecular functions revealed that these target genes were involved in a wide range of metabolic and developmental processes. This study is the first report on genome-wide miRNA profile analysis in blueberry and it provides a useful resource for further elucidation of the functional roles of miRNAs during fruit development and ripening.
Project description:Illumina HiSeq2000 technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Vaccinium myrtillus mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal roots with or without Cadmium treatment. 150bp reads were generated and aligned to a Vaccinium myrtillus de novo assembly as reference using CLC Genomics Workbench 8.
