Project description:Endosperms (with the embryo, aleurone, seed coat, and pericarp removed) at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 DPAs of the T. urartu accession PI 428198 were used for RNA-Seq analysis. Each sample had three independent biological replicates. The total RNA of endosperms was isolated and a library with an insert length of ~350 bp was sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 (San Diego, CA, USA). An integrated reference sequence of T. urartu PI 428198 was prepared by combining the annotated gene set (ftp://ftp.ensemblgenomes.org/pub/plants/release3 9/fasta/triticum_urartu) with cloned low-molecule-weight glutenin subunit genes and gliadin genes after gene redundancy removal. The relative transcript abundance of seed storage protein genes and the 41,507 predicted genes from genome sequences were calculated using the unique aligned reads as the expected number of fragments per kilobase of the transcript sequence per million base pairs sequenced (FPKM).
Project description:For this project, we have sequenced, assembled and annotated a transcriptome of a diploid wheat Triticum urartu accession PI 428198. The sequencing libraries were prepared from shoot and root tissues harvested from 2-3 week old seedlings. All sequencing was carried out on the Illumina HiSeq platform using the 100 bp pair-end protocol (248.5 million reads). The assembly was constructed using a multiple k-mer approach with a de novo assembly algorithm implemented in CLC Genomics Workbench 5.5 and additional redundancy reduction with CD-HIT and blast2cap3 programs. Open reading frames and proteins were predicted using BLASTX searches and a findorf algorithm.
