RNA sequencing reveals diverse and dynamic repertoire of the Xenopus tropicalis transcriptome over development.

ABSTRACT: We report the application of paired-end RNA sequencing for high throughput profiling of the Xenopus transcriptome in 23 distinct developmental stages. In total, we obtained over 900 million reads and the deep coverage allowed us to examine the transcriptome in detail. First, we found that ~150 genes are transcribed before embryonic genome activation when transcription is generally thought to be repressed. Second, we discovered thousands of novel splice junctions, the majority of which modify existing gene structures. Third, we curated a confident set of 6686 non-coding transcripts in 3859 genomic loci. Many of these non-coding RNAs are also developmentally regulated, which suggests that they may play important roles during embryogenesis. Finally, we found hundreds of contigs that cannot be aligned to the reference genome, which indicates that the current genome (XenTro3) is still unfinished. Our results will aid in the full assembly and annotation of the Xenopus tropicalis genome.

RNA-seq (Illumina and PacBio) of hESC

Project description:We used PacBio data to identify more reliable transcripts from hESC, based on which we can estimate gene/transcript abundance better from Illumina data. PacBio long reads and Illumina short reads were generated from the same hESC cell line H1. PacBio reads were error-corrected by Illumina reads to identify transcripts. rSeq is used to estimate gene/transcript abundance of the identified transcriptome.

Transcription profiling of Xenopus tropicalis tadpole tail tissue regeneration following removal

Project description:In this experiment, we show transcription profiling of the Xenopus tropicalis tadpole tail tissue regeneration following removal. The tail tissues include its spinal cord, notochord, muscle, and dorsal aorta. We characterized the early, intermediate, and late stages of Xenopus tropicalis tail regeneration using the Xenopus tropicalis Affymetrix genome array in biological replicate.

A Hierarchy of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 Acquisition in Spatial Gene Regulation in Xenopus Embryos

Project description:Epigenetic mechanisms set apart the active and inactive regions in the genome of multicellular organisms to produce distinct cell fates during embryogenesis. Here, we report on the epigenetic and transcriptome genome-wide maps of gastrula-stage Xenopus tropicalis embryos using massive parallel sequencing of cDNA (RNA-seq) and DNA obtained by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) of histone H3 K4 and K27 trimethylation and RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII). These maps identify promoters and transcribed regions. Strikingly, genomic regions featuring opposing histone modifications are mostly transcribed, reflecting spatially regulated expression rather than bivalency as determined by expression profile analyses, sequential ChIP, and ChIP-seq on dissected embryos. Spatial differences in H3K27me3 deposition are predictive of localized gene expression. Moreover, the appearance of H3K4me3 coincides with zygotic gene activation, whereas H3K27me3 is predominantly deposited upon subsequent spatial restriction or repression of transcriptional regulators. These results reveal a hierarchy in the spatial control of zygotic gene activation.

Next generation sequencing identifies differentially localized transcripts in Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis oocytes

Project description:RNA-seq technology was used to identify differentially localized transcripts from Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis stage VI oocytes. Besides the discovery of a group of novel animally enriched RNAs, this study revealed a surprisingly low conservation of vegetal RNA localization between the two frog species. mRNA profiles of Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis animal and vegetal oocyte halves were generated by RNA-seq technology. For Xenopus laevis, animal and vegetal oocyte RNA preparations from two different females were generated in duplicates. For Xenopus tropicalis, animal and vegetal oocyte RNA preparations from two different females were analyzed.

Deep sequencing of small RNAs in the Xenopus tropicalis gastrula

Project description:Transposable elements comprise a large proportion of animal genomes. Transcripts of transposable elements are a source for the synthesis of endogenous siRNAs and piRNAs. In order to determine if small RNAs mapped to expressed Tc1-like elements are present during early Xenopus tropicalis development, we used Illumina (Solexa) to sequence small RNAs from gastrula-stage embryos. We obtained about 17 million reads that mapped perfectly to the genome. Small RNAs mapped to selected transposable elements were characterized and the expression of selected small RNAs was experimentally verified during development. This is the first deep sequencing experiment for small RNAs in the Xenopus tropicalis gastrula. Analysis of small RNAs expressed in the Xenopus tropicalis gastrula.
