Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short single-stranded RNA molecules that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by binding to complementary sequences in the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of target mRNAs. MiRNAs participate in the regulation of myogenesis, and identification of the complete set of miRNAs expressed in muscles is likely to significantly increase our understanding of muscle growth and development. To determine the identity and abundance of miRNA in porcine skeletal muscle, we applied a deep sequencing approach. This allowed us to identify the sequences and relative expression levels of 212 annotated miRNA genes, thereby providing a thorough account of the miRNA transcriptome in porcine muscle tissue. The expression levels displayed a very large range, as reflected by the number of sequence reads, which varied from single counts for rare miRNAs to several million reads for the most abundant miRNAs. Moreover, we identified numerous examples of mature miRNAs that were derived from opposite sides of the same predicted precursor stem-loop structures, and also observed length and sequence heterogeneity at the 5' and 3' ends. Furthermore, KEGG pathway analysis suggested that highly expressed miRNAs are involved in skeletal muscle development and regeneration, signal transduction, cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix communication and neural development and function. Examination of small RNA profiles in 7 isolates of porcine muscle The raw sequences were trimmed to 30 nucleotides, and it was set as a requirement that any sequence must appear at least three times and be present in at least two of the seven libraries. All identical reads within a library were grouped and converted into unique sequences. Reads containing Ns or long tracks (M-BM-!M-CM-^]8) of As were removed and the sequences were trimmed for adaptor-sequences. To annotate the unique sequences, a Decypher Tera-BLASTN Search was performed against a database of mature miRNAs obtained from miRBase (release 12.0). Hits with a match of 16 or more nucleotides to a miRNA from the database were gathered, and the count of each miRNA was normalized to the total number of sequence reads per lane. The outcome of this procedure can be seen in the Aarhus_University_GBI_FC208D2AAXX_blast_mirbase table below.

Project description:Background: WitchesM-bM-^@M-^Y broom disease of Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia L.), which is caused by the phytoplasma M-bM-^@M-^\Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifoliaM-bM-^@M-^], is a devastating disease that results in significant economic losses. Plants adapt to abiotic stresses by regulating gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a recently identified family of molecules that regulate plant responses to environmental stresses through post-transcriptional gene silencing. Methods: Using a high-throughput approach to sequence small RNAs, we compared the expression profiles of miRNAs in healthy Mexican lime trees and in plants infected with M-bM-^@M-^\Ca. Phytoplasma aurantifoliaM-bM-^@M-^]. Results: Our results demonstrated the involvement of different miRNAs in the response of Mexican lime trees to infection by M-bM-^@M-^\Ca. Phytoplasma aurantifoliaM-bM-^@M-^]. We identified miRNA families that are expressed differentially upon infection with phytoplasmas. Most of the miRNAs had variants with small sequence variations (isomiRs), which are expressed differentially in response to pathogen infection. Conclusions: It is likely that the miRNAs that are expressed differentially in healthy and phytoplasma-infected Mexican lime trees are involved in coordinating the regulation of hormonal, nutritional, and stress signalling pathways, and the complex interactions between them. Future research to elucidate the roles of these miRNAs should improve our understanding of the level of diversity of specific plant responses to phytoplasmas. Small mRNA profiles of healthy (H) and Phytoplasma-infected Mexican lime trees were generated by deep sequencing, six replicate, using Illumina Hiseq2000

Project description:Heat illness, which remains an occupational and environmental hazard, can be caused by excessive strain or heat load in combination with other factors. In the 10-year period from 1999 to 2009, an average of 658 annual heat-related deaths occurred in the United States. While heat stress at the cellular level has been studied, a paucity of risk assessment and injury biomarkers as well as therapeutic interventions remains. To identify novel biomarkers and to further understand the molecular mechanisms of heat stress, we identified differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in the heart, liver, and kidney from a conscious rat model at three time points. We distinguished the effect in animals with histopathological evidence of heart injury from those without evidence of organ injury. In animals without evidence of injury, we identified a total of 45 unique modulated miRNAs, whereas in the three animals with evidence of injury, we identified 171 unique differentially expressed miRNAs. The majority of the perturbed miRNAs were both time and tissue specific. Using the data from a microarray companion study, we identified the mRNAs that are the predicted targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs and performed pathway enrichment analysis. The enrichment analysis suggested that the perturbed miRNAs are involved in biological pathways related to energy metabolism, the unfolded protein response, and organ injury. These miRNAs may serve as organ-specific heat stress biomarkers of exposure or effect, as well as identify potential targets of heat illness prevention. Heart, liver, lung and kidney tissue was collected from rats at Tc,max and at 24 and 48 h for both heat exposed rats (n=4 to 6) or time matched, unheated controls (n= 4 to 6)

Project description:Egg quality is an important aspect in rainbow trout farming. Post-ovulatory aging is one of the most important factors affecting egg quality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are the major regulators in various biological processes and their expression profiles could serve as reliable biomarkers for various pathological and physiological conditions. Egg samples from 32 females on day 1, day 7, and day 14 post-ovulation (D1PO, D7PO and D14PO), which had the fertilization rates of 91.8%, 73.4% and less than 50%, respectively, were collected and small RNAs isolated from these samples were subjected to deep sequencing using the Illumina platform. Six miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed between D1PO and D14PO eggs. GO analysis of the target genes of the 6 miRNAs that were down-regulated in D14PO eggs revealed significantly enriched GO terms that are related to stress response, cell death, DNA damage, ATP generation, signal transduction and transcription regulation. Examination of small RNA populations in eggs of different qualities caused by post-ovulatory aging.

Project description:miRNAs are small non-coding regulatory RNAs that play important functions in the regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by targeting mRNAs for degradation or by inhibiting protein translation. Eugenia uniflora is a plant native to tropical America with pharmacological and ecological importance without previous studies about its gene expression and regulation. To date, there is not miRNAs reported in species of Myrtaceae. A small RNA library was constructed to identify miRNAs in Eugenia uniflora. Solexa technology was used to perform high throughput sequencing of the library and the data obtained was analysed using bioinformatics tools. From 14,489,131 clean reads, we obtained 1,852,722 small RNAs representing 45 known miRNA families that have been identified in other plant species. Further analysis using contigs assembled from Illumina mRNA sequencing of leaves from the same individual allowed the prediction of secondary structures of 25 known and 17 novel miRNAs. Potential targets were predicted for the most abundant mature miRNAs in the identified pre-miRNAs based on sequence homology. This study provide the first large scale identification of miRNAs and their potential targets of a species from Myrtaceae without previous genomic sequence resources. Our study provides more information about the evolutionary conservation of the regulatory network of miRNAs in plants and highlights the miRNAs species-specific. microRNA profiles in 1 leaf library of Eugenia uniflora by deep sequencing (Illumina HiSeq2000)

Project description:In this study, C. gigantea miRNAs and their target genes were investigated by extracting RNA from young roots, tender stems, young leaves, and flower buds of C. gigantea to establish a small RNA (sRNA) library and a degradome library to further sequence. This study identified 194 known miRNAs belonging to 52 miRNA families and 23 novel miRNAs. Among the miRNA families, 158 miRNAs from 27 miRNA families were highly conserved and existed in a plurality of plants. In addition, 60 different targets for 30 known families and one target for novel miRNA were identified by high-throughput sequencing and degradome analysis in C. gigantea. Our analyses showed that conserved miRNAs have higher expression levels and more family members as well as more targets than other miRNAs. Meanwhile, these conserved miRNAs were found to be involved in auxin signal transduction, regulation of transcription, and other developmental processes in plants, which will help further understanding regulatory mechanisms of C. gigantea miRNAs. The samples were collected from the young roots, tender shoots, young leaves and flower buds of wild C. gigantea growing in Jiangsu Province. TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, USA) was used to extract the total RNAs [20]. An Illumina next-generation sequencing system, i.e. the 1 G Genome Analyzer sequencing platform, was utilized for sRNA sequencing. An Illumina HiSeq 2000 (LC Sciences, USA) was used for degradome sequencing.
