Project description:We used massively parallel sequencing to discover and characterize small RNAs (sRNAs) from fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus. We found that, unlike in related S. pombe, a substantial fraction of sRNAs maps to transposons, both telomeric and centromeric. small RNA library from total RNA isolations from Schizosaccharomyces japonicus

Project description:Sequencing of mononucleosomal DNA during asynchronous mitosis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Schizosaccharomyces octosporus, Schizosaccharomyces japonicus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Samples from mononucleosomal DNA from asynchronous mitosis of four species of budding (Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1a) and fission yeasts (S. pombe wild type 972h-, S. octosporus CBS1804, S. japonicus var. japonicus ade12- FY53) were sequenced (Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx and HiSeq 2500) using the single read and paired end protocol.
Project description:Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are known to be involved in both transposon silencing and centromere function, leading us to investigate the interplay between these two roles in the Schizosaccharomyces lineage. In S. pombe, the centromeric repeats produce dicer-dependent siRNAs that are required for maintenance of centromeric structure, function and transcriptional silencing via Argonaute-dependent heterochromatin formation13. However, transposons are silenced in S. pombe by RNAi-independent mechanisms and do not produce abundant siRNAs. To investigate whether centromere-directed siRNA production is conserved within the transposon-rich centromeres of S. japonicus, we isolated and sequenced small RNAs from log-phase S. japonicus cultures. The small RNAs have a modal size of 23 nucleotides and 94% map to transposons, both telomeric and centromeric. Isolation and computational analysis of small RNAs from wild-type S. japonicus
