Project description:We analyzed oxidized 5-methylcytosine derivatives 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine in nucleic acids of multicellular fungi Laccaria bicolor and Coprinopsis cinerea which have been used as models to study DNA methylation, developmental processes and symbiotic interactions. All three cytosine derivatives were detected in the genomes of both fungi, and importantly, we discovered 5carC in the RNA fractions, potentially including large non-coding, messenger RNAs and small RNA molecules, indicating gene regulatory functions of 5carC.
Project description:Illumina GAIIx technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from the ectomycorrhizal fungi Laccaria bicolor colonizing roots of Populus trichocarpa. Samples were taken after two, four and 12 weeks of contact in order to identify mycorrhiza-regulated transcripts. 37bp reads were generated and aligned to the Populus trichocarpa (http://www.phytozome.net/poplar.php) and the Laccaria bicolor (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Lacbi2/Lacbi2.home.html) reference genomes using CLC Genomics Workbench 6.

Project description:Illumina HiSeq2000 technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from the ectomycorrhizal fungi Laccaria bicolor colonizing roots of Populus trichocarpa. Samples were taken after 3 months of contact in order to identify mycorrhiza-regulated transcripts. 100bp reads were generated and aligned to the Populus trichocarpa (http://www.phytozome.net/poplar.php) reference genome.
Project description:Transcript profiles of Laccaria bicolor S238N mycelium on various media were analyzed. The array probes were designed from gene models taken from the Joint Genome Institute (JGI, department of energy) Laccaria bicolor genome sequence version 1. One goal was to evaluate the effect of nutrient deprivation on the transcriptome of Laccaria bicolor.
Project description:In order to get insights into the ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi to perceive their biotic environment as well as into the mechanisms of the interactions between ectomycorrhizal fungi and soil bacteria, we analysed the transcriptomic response of the ectomycorrhizal fungus L. bicolor and the strain Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf29Arp during their interactions in vitro. We performed six hybridizations (shotgun DNA microarray) with samples derived from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf29Arp cultivated alone or with Laccaria bicolor S238N in vitro (3 control biological replicates and 3 biological replicates with L. bicolor)
Project description:In order to get insights into the ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi to perceive their biotic environment as well as into the mechanisms of the interactions between ectomycorrhizal fungi and soil bacteria, we analysed the transcriptomic response of the ectomycorrhizal fungus L. bicolor and one detrimental bacterial strain during their interactions in vitro. We performed hybridizations (whole genome array) with samples derived from Collimonas fungivorans Ter331cultivated alone or with Laccaria bicolor S238N in vitro (2 control biological replicates and 2 biological replicates with L. bicolor)
Project description:Laccaria bicolor transcript profiles of different tissues and mycorrhizal root tips from different host trees were analyzed. The array probes were designed from gene models taken from the Joint Genome Institute (JGI, department of energy) Laccaria bicolor genome sequence version 1. One goal was to compare gene expression profiles from ectomycorrhizal root tips with different host plants.
Project description:The Transcriptome of different tissues and developmental stages of Laccaria bicolor S238N was analyzed. The array probes were designed from gene models taken from the Joint Genome institute Laccaria bicolor genome sequence version1. One aim of this study was to verify the expression of the automatically annotated gene models in various tissues and to use this transcriptional information to confirm, to correct or to reject gene models. Another goal was to identify tissue-specific gene expression, e.g. mycorrhiza up-regulated transcripts or fruiting body up-regulated transcripts, or treatment specific gene expression for further detailed analyses.
