Project description:The aim of this analysis was to analyze gene expression in young fruiting bodies of the filamentous ascomycete Pyronema confluens. Young fruiting bodies were isolated by laser microdissection, RNA was extracted, amplified and used for RNA-sequencing. The resulting data were compared to data from total vegetative and sexual mycelium from a previous analysis.
Project description:The aim of this analysis was the identification of candidate genes that might be regulated in a circadian manner in the filamentous ascomycete Pyronema confluens. The fungus was grown in submerged culture to promote vegetative growth, and after a period in constant light, the samples were shifted to darkness (DD). Cultures were sampled after 24 and 36 hours in DD. The samples were used for RNA-seq analysis, and candidate genes with significantly higher expression after 24 vs. 36 hours or the reverse were further analyzed with RT-qPCR.
