Project description:We report a set of rapid, efficient and low-cost methods for ATAC-seq library construction and data analysis, realized large-scale and rapid sequencing. These methods can provide a reference for the study of epigenetic regulation of gene expression.
Project description:A comprehensive Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-cell specific spectral library, containing extensive information of high-quality spectral ions covering more than 10k CHO cell proteins, was constructed to provide confident and reproducible protein identification and quantification in data-independent SWATH-MS analysis. The applicability of CHO spectral library was tested in the analyses of different CHO samples including whole cell lysate, harvested cell culture fluids, and downstream processing samples. The portability of CHO spectral library was also demonstrated in the processing and analyses of SWATH-MS data sets collected from multiple LC-MS instrumental setups and various CHO cell lines.
Project description:Construction of a comprehensive spectral library for the coral reef fish, Acanthochromis polyacanthus, from both DIA and DDA MS runs. The spectral library was then used to quantify proteomes of individual fish exposed to different environmental conditions including ocean acidification and ocean warming. Proteomes were measured for both liver and brain tissue and differential expression between environmental conditions was analyzed.
Project description:Tn5-mediated transposition of double-strand DNA has been widely utilized in various high-throughput sequencing applications. Here, we report that the Tn5 transposase is also capable of direct tagmentation of RNA/DNA hybrids in vitro. As a proof-of-concept application, we utilized this activity to replace the traditional library construction procedure of RNA sequencing, which contains many laborious and time-consuming processes. Results of Transposase assisted RNA/DNA hybrids Co-tagmEntation (termed “TRACE-seq”) are comparable to traditional RNA-seq methods in terms of detected gene number, gene body coverage, gene expression measurement, library complexity, and differential expression analysis; at the meantime, TRACE-seq enables a one-tube library construction protocol and hence is more rapid (within 6h) and convenient. We expect this tagmentation activity on RNA/DNA hybrids to have broad potentials on RNA biology and chromatin research.
