Project description:Aspergillus flavus and A. oryzae represent two unique species predicted to have spent centuries in vastly different environments. A. flavus is an important opportunistic plant pathogen known for contaminating crops with the carcinogenic mycotoxin, aflatoxin and A. oryzae is a domesticated fungus used in food fermentations. Remarkably, the genomes of these two species are still nearly identical. We have used the recently sequenced genomes of A. oryzae RIB40 and A. flavus NRRL3357 along with array based comparative genome hybridization (CGH) as a tool to compare genomes across several strains of these two species. A comparison of three strains from each species by CGH revealed only 42 and 129 genes unique to A. flavus and A. oryzae, respectively. Further, only 709 genes were identified as being polymorphic between the species. Despite the high degree of similarity between these two species, correlation analysis among all data from the CGH arrays for all strains used in this study reveals a species split. However, this view of species demarcation becomes muddled when focused on only those genes for secondary metabolism.
Project description:Asian salamander Hynobiidae is commonly observed in the Far East Asia regions, including Korea, Japan, China, and the eastern region of Russia. In Korea, there are four Hynobiidae species known to be lived: Hynobius leechii, Hynobius quelpaertensis, Hynobius yangi, and recently reported Hynobius unisacculus. However, even H. leechii which is broadly colonized in Korea peninsula seems to have a new species candidate, which has distinctive genetic and phenotypic characteristics. Genomic resources are essential to understand the current status of these species, but due to the large size of their genomes (about 16 to 20 Gb), it is not easy to analyze. To reveal the genomic characteristics of these species, we constructed more than ten thousands of protein-coding gene sequences from multiple samples of each species, using the de novo transcriptome assembly approach from RNA-Seq data, confirming their taxonomic relationship which was reported based on mitochondrial DNA and marker genes. Also, by comparing previously reported transcriptome of Hynobius chinensis and Hynobius retardatus, lived in China and Japan, respectively, we found that Korean species have unique genetic signatures. By comparing vertebrate model organism genes, we reported Hynobidaii specific proteins. These data would be a useful resource to study other Caudata species in the future. This research was supported by the National Institute of Biological Resources, Republic of Korea, under the project "Genetic diversity of animal resources” (NIBR201703203 and NIBR201803101).

Project description:This data analyzes gene expression patterns in Arabidopsis whitening mutants, wn1, with defects in chloroplast development. We found that wn1 was a T-DNA insertion line of Arabidopsis AtPTAC10/PAP3 (At3g48500) and exhibited a lethal, albino-like phenotype in the seedling stages. pTAC10 was known as a component of RNA polymerase complex called plastid-encoded RNA polymerase, PEP, in mature chloroplasts. Because wn1 mutants were lethal, we extracted RNA from cotyledons of 7-day-old seedlings from wn1 mutants and Col-0. RNA seq analysis was commissioned by NICEM in Seoul National University, Korea and transcriptome resequencing was confirmed in Macrogen, Korea. Through analysis, we compared gene expression patterns of wn1 mutant and Col-0 seedlings.
