Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding regulatory RNAs that play key roles in the process of plant development. To date, extensive studies of miRNAs have been performed in a few model plants, but few efforts have focused on small RNAs in conifers because of the lack of reference sequences for these enormous genomes. In this study, Solexa sequencing of three small RNA libraries obtained from dormant, reactivating, and active vascular cambium in Chinese fir samples identified 76 known miRNAs from 27 miRNA families and 18 new potential miRNAs, of which 15 novel miRNA precursors were validated by RT-PCR and sequencing. More than half of these novel miRNAs displayed stage-specific expression patterns in the vascular cambium. Furthermore, analyzing the 103 miRNAs and their predicted targets indicated that 30% of miRNAs appeared to negatively regulate their targets, of which 4 target genes involved in the regulation of cambial cell division were validated via RNA ligase-mediated rapid amplification of 5’ cDNA ends (RLM 5’-RACE). Interestingly, miRNA156 and miRNA172 may regulate the phase transition in vascular cambium from dormancy to active growth. These results provide new insights into the important regulatory functions of miRNAs in vascular cambium development and wood formation in conifers. The aim of this study is to investigate the small RNA transcriptome in different stages of vascular cambium development in Cunninghamia lanceolata. We herein conducted our comprehensive analysis of a plant sRNAome during development of the vascular cambium in Chinese fir using cryosectioning to isolate cambial meristem, which allowed a higher cellular resolution for defining small RNA profiles and overcomed the limitations resulting from the mixed samples in many previous investigations. Total RNAs of dormant, reactivating, and active cambial meristem, respectively were isolated using the Concert Plant RNA Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and were then treated with RNase-free DNase I (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). Twenty micrograms of total RNAs were used and 16 to 30-nt sRNAs were purified using Novex 15% TBE-¬Urea gel (Invitrogen). Two adaptors were sequentially ligated to the 5' and 3' ends of purified sRNAs. The ligation products were further purified from Novex 10% TBE-Urea gel. Reverse transcriptase SuperScript II (Invitrogen) and high-fidelity DNA polymerase Phusion (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) were used in the following RT-PCR reaction. The amplification products were cut from Novex 6% TBE-Urea gel. The purified DNA fragments were used for sequencing on an Illumina 2G Genome Analyzer at the Beijing Genomics Institute, Shenzhen, China.

Project description:Rice false smut is a common fungal disease caused by Ustilaginoidea virens. As it only scatter occured in panicle at florescence, little information is known about this crop disease. In the previous study, 3 uninterrupted infecting stages were divided and each stage was monitored by Solexa/Illumina’s digital gene expression (DGE) system, and all data were submitted to NCBI (GSE32010). As the disease was greatly affected by environment and to eliminate environment factor, an experimental replication was done in 2011. Samples collection and analysis were described in GSE32010. Our results contribute to the knowledge of understanding rice molecular mechanism in response to U. virens infection. Four samples including one control (CK) and three infected (S1, S2, S3) were analyzed.

Project description:Various saprotrophic microorganisms, especially filamentous fungi, can efficiently degrade lignocellulose that is one of the most abundant natural material on earth. It consists of complex carbohydrates and aromatic polymers found in plant cell wall and thus in plant debris. Aspergillus fumigatus Z5 was isolated from compost heaps and showed highly efficient plant biomass-degradation capability.Genome analysis revealed an impressive array of genes encoding cellulases, hemicellulases, and pectinases involved in lignocellulosic biomass degradation. We sequenced the transcriptomes of Aspergillus fumigatus Z5 induced by sucrose, xylan, cellulose and rice straw, respectively. There were 444, 1711 and 1386 significantly differently (q-value ⤠0.0001 and |log2 of the ratio of the RPM values| ⥠2) expressed genes in xylan, cellulose and rice straw,respectively, relative to sucrose control. After incubation at 45 â, 145rpm for 20 hours with sucrose as the carbon source, mycelia were induced for 16 hours using xylan, cellulose and rice straw, respectively. Transcriptome induced by sucrose was used as the control when comparing the differences between other three transcriptomes (induced by xylan, cellulose and rice straw, respectively).

Project description:We report genome-wide characterization of GATA3 binding sites in eleven well-defined developmental and effector cell types of the T lymphocyte lineage. By utilizing a conditional allele of GATA3, we investigated the impact of GATA3 expression on the mRNA expression patterns in several of these cell types. Correlation of GATA3 binding with gene expression changes indicates that GATA3 regulates a large number of stage- and cell-specific genes involved in multiple signaling and transcriptional pathways critical for T cell differentiation and immune responses. 1) RNA-Seq: Examination of RNA transcript levels in 6 cell types in wild-type and Gata3-knockout cells. 2) ChIP-Seq: Examination of GATA3 binding sites in 11 cell types. 3) Methyl-Seq: Examination of histone modification levels in DP cells from wild-type and Gata3-knockout mice.

Project description:Total RNA was extracted from samples including 35S::CNT1-NLS-YFP;cry1 and 35S::CNT1-G283E-NLS-YFP;cry1 seedlings grown in continuous blue light and subjected to high throughput sequencing. Previous studies reported that the C-terminal domain of CRY1 regulates hypocotyl elongation and blue light-regulated genes. This study reveals that CNT1 overexpression also regulates blue light-regulated genes, supporting the role of CNT1 in hypocotyl elongation at transcriptomic level. mRNA from blue light-grown CNT1 or CNT1 variant (G283E) overexpressors was sequenced to analyze the genes regulated by CNT1.

Project description:Schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) are severe neuropsychiatric disorders with serious impact on patients, together termed major psychosis. Recently, long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) were reported to play important roles in mental diseases. However, little was known about their molecular mechanism in pathogenesis of SZ and BD. Here, we performed RNA sequencing on 82 post-mortem brain tissues from three brain regions (orbitofrontal cortex (BA11), anterior cingulate cortex (BA24) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (BA9)) of patients with SZ and BD and control subjects, generating over one billion reads. We characterized lincRNA transcriptome in the three brain regions and identified 20 differentially expressed lincRNAs (DELincRNAs) in BA11 for BD, 34 and 1 in BA24 and BA9 for SZ, respectively. Our results showed that these DELincRNAs exhibited brain region-specific patterns. Applying weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we revealed that DELincRNAs together with other genes can function as modules to perform different functions in different brain regions, such as immune system development in BA24 and oligodendrocyte differentiation in BA9. Additionally, we found that DNA methylation alteration could partly explain the dysregulation of lincRNAs, some of which could function as enhancers in the pathogenesis of major psychosis. Together, we performed systematical characterization of dysfunctional lincRNAs in multiple brain regions of major psychosis, which provided a valuable resource to understand their roles in SZ and BD pathology and helped to discover novel biomarkers. RNA sequencing of 82 brain samples including each of 19 from BA9 and BA24 and 44 from BA11. We performed RNA sequencing on three brain regions namely the BA11 (part of orbitofrontal cortex), BA24 (part of anterior cingulate) and BA9 (part of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) from SZ and BD patients and psychiatrically normal individuals.In summary, there were 44 BA11 samples from 16 SZ, 16 BD and 12 control subjects, and 19 BA24 and 19 BA9 samples from the same subjects including 6 SZ, 7 BD and 6 controls.
