Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of melanic variation. The goals of this study are to evaluate population evolutionary genetics associated with dark and light color variation in a lizard.
Project description:To optimize the golden snub-nosed monkey genome annotation, one RNA library of mixed tissues from one individual were constructed using the Illumina mRNA-Seq Prep Kit.
Project description:Lizards cannot naturally regenerate limbs but are the closest known relatives of mammals capable of epimorphic tail regrowth. However, the mechanisms regulating lizard blastema derivation and chondrogenesis remain unclear. We utilized single-cell RNA sequencing analyses of regenerating lizard tails throughout the course of regeneration to assess diversity and heterogeneity in regeneating tail cell populations.
