Project description:Deep sequencing of small RNAs from three Phytophthora species, P. infestans, P. ramorum and P. sojae, was done to systematically analyze small RNA-generating components of Phytophthora genomes. We found that each species produces two distinct small RNA populations that are predominantly 21- or 25-nucleotides long. We present evidence that 25-nucleotide small RNAs are short-interfering RNAs that silence repetitive genetic elements. In contrast, 21-nucleotide small RNAs are associated with inverted repeats, including a novel microRNA family, and may function at the post-transcriptional level. Phytophthora sojae mycelium small RNAs were sequenced and aligned to the P. sojae genome for analysis. *Raw data files (fastq) are unavailable for this study.

Project description:This experiment contains Phytophthora sojae samples and RNA-seq data from experiment E-GEOD-29561 (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-29651/) to understand gene expression during the P. sojae life cycle. The transcriptome of the oomycete plant pathogen Phytophthora sojae was profiled at 5 different developmental stages: mycelia (MY), zoosporangia (SP), zoospores (ZO), cysts (CY) and germinating cysts (GC); based on a 3'-tag digital gene expression (DGE) protocol. More than 90 million clean sequence tags were generated and compared to the P. sojae genome and its 19,027 predicted genes. A total of 14,969 genes were detected, of which 10,044 were deemed reliable because they mapped to unambiguous tags. A web-based server named the Phytophthora Transcriptional Database (PTD) has been established.
