Project description:RNA-seq technology was used to identify differentially localized transcripts from Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis stage VI oocytes. Besides the discovery of a group of novel animally enriched RNAs, this study revealed a surprisingly low conservation of vegetal RNA localization between the two frog species. mRNA profiles of Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis animal and vegetal oocyte halves were generated by RNA-seq technology. For Xenopus laevis, animal and vegetal oocyte RNA preparations from two different females were generated in duplicates. For Xenopus tropicalis, animal and vegetal oocyte RNA preparations from two different females were analyzed.

Project description:Comprehensive RNA-seq experiments to measure the expression of homoeologs across different tissues, as a part of the Xenopus laevis genome project. This work is funded by Agency Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT; "Genome Science" Grant ID 221S0002). Collect mRNA from whole tissue; two female frogs were used as donors for most tissues (Taira dataset for one frog, Ueno dataset for the other frog); testis samples were collected from two male frogs (sibling of two female donors)
Project description:Expression of known and predicted genes in tissues of Xenopus tropicalis (frog) pooled from multiple healthy individuals. Two-colour experiments with two different tissues hybridized to each array. Each tissue is arrayed in replicate with dye swaps. Tissues: Brain, Cartilage, Esophagus, Eye, Fat body, Femur, Gallbladder, Heart, Kidney, Large intestine, Liver, Lung, Muscle, Ovary, Oviduct, Skin, Small intestine, Spleen, Stomach, Testis
