Project description:We have sequenced a wild Prunus mume and constructed a reference sequence for this genome. In order to improve quality of gene models, RNA samples of five tissues (bud, leaf, root, stem, fruit) were extracted from the Prunus mume. To investigate tissue specific expression using the reference genome assembly and annotated genes, we extracted RNA samples of different tissues and conducted transcriptome sequencing and DEG analysis.
Project description:Using an integrated systems approach, the expressed proteome of B. diazoefficiens strain 110scp4 was measured under i) normal, oxic growth, and ii) microoxic growth condtions. This included, as a first step, the sequencing and de novo assembly of the genome of this widely used rhizobial model strain, which turned out to harbor several deletions and insertions compared to the B. diazoefficiens USDA 110 NCBI reference genome. With this optimal basis in hand, a shotgun proteomics approach relying on a slightly adapated FASP protocol was carried out, allowing to identify 2900 (oxia) and 2826 (microoxia) proteins, respectively, thereby largely expanding the proteome known to be expressed under microoxic conditions.
