Project description:We generated F1 hybrids of each of the sister species A. halleri and A. lyrata with their outgroup relative of A. thaliana and monitored allele-specific levels of expression in standard growth conditions, in response to dehydration or cold exposure. This data allowed us to map the genome-wide distribution of cis-regulatory mutations active in three distinct environments reflecting divergent adaptations of the two species. Because the sister species were both crossed to an outgroup species, it was possible to assign a phylogenetic origin to cis-acting mutations. Cis-acting mutations observed in only one of the two hybrids were likely to be derived, whereas those observed in both hybrids either predate predated the split between the two species or arose along the A. thaliana lineage. By contrasting the distribution of cis-regulatory mutations derived in the A. halleri to those derived on the A. lyrata lineage, we could establish relative rates of cis-acting evolution across polygenic molecular functions and detect lineage-specific polygenic adaptation to environmental challenges.

Project description:In this study, we performed deep sequencing and bioinformatics analyses of tea plant leaves to identify and characterize known and novel miRNAs. A total of 26,876,261 raw reads were produced from 2 libraries. We detected 422 known miRNAs belonging to 125 families, and 68 putative novel miRNAs.
Project description:RNA-seq evaluation of post-mortem human cerebelllum from 33 patients with diagnosed Essential tremor, compared to 22 age-matched control patients. Two samples were under-sequenced and therefore removed from the final analysis. The raw data has been included in this submission.
Project description:Purpose: To ensure that ABX464 acted specifically on HIV splicing and did not significantly or globally affect the splicing events of human genes, we used an assembly approach of HIV (YU2 strain) putative transcripts and human long non-coding sequences from paired-reads (2x75bp) captured on a NimbleGen SeqCap® EZ Developer Library (Roche/NimbleGen). Methods: Cells were infected with 80 ng of p24/106 cells of the YU-2 strain for 4 to 6 hours and then rinsed with PBS before medium renewal, followed by high-throughput RNAseq from custom SeqCap EZ capture libraries. Each raw dataset of the samples contained between 5 and 30 million paired-end reads (75 bp), with an average of approximately 12 million raw reads per sample. Results: The raw reads were then cleaned and assembled per library to generate contigs, giving an average of 930 contigs per sample for further analyses. Conclusions: Our results show that high-throughput analyses coupled with bioinformatics-specific tools offers a comprehensive and more accurate view of mRNA splicing within a cell.
