Project description:Library preparation for ATAC-Seq was performed on 1000-5000 cells with Nextera DNA Sample Preparation kit (Illumina), according to previously reported protocol55. 4 ATAC-seq libraries were sequenced per lane in HiSeq 2500 System (Illumina) to generate paired-end 50-bp reads. Reads were mapped to hg38 using BWA (0.7.15) using default parameters. Duplicate reads, reads mapped to mitochondria, an ENCODE blacklisted region or an unspecified contig were removed (Encode Project Consortium, 2012). MACS (2.2.5) was used to call peaks in mapped reads.
Project description:The goals of this study is understand the effect of the MiEFF18 nematode effector on alternative splicing. Methods: PolyA RNA from WT, MiEFF18 overexpressor and smd1b mutant seedlings were sequenced using the illumina NextSeq500 sequencer, in triplicate. Total RNA was extracted from the roots of the three Arabidopsis lines (Col0, OE-MiEFF18#13.6 and smd1b) with TriZol (Invitrogen), according to the Invitrogen protocol. The RNA was treated with DNAse treatment (Ambion), and its quality and integrity were assessed with a Bioanalyzer (Agilent). Libraries were constructed with the Tru-Seq Stranded mRNA Sample Prep kit (Illumina®). Paired-end sequencing with 75-bp reads was performed on a NextSeq500 perform. A minimum of 30 million paired-end reads per sample was generated. RNA-seq preprocessing included the trimming of library adapters and quality controls with Trimmomatic. Paired-end reads with a Phred Quality Score Qscore > 20 and a read length > 30 bases were retained, and ribosomal RNA sequences were removed with SortMeRNA. Processed reads were aligned using Tophat2 with the following arguments: --max-multihits 1 -i 20 --min-segment-intron 20 --min-coverage-intron 20 --library-type fr-firststrand --microexon-search -I 1000 --max-segment-intron 1000 --max-coverage-intron 1000 --b2-very-sensitive. Conclusions: MiEFF18 overexpression modifies the expression of genes important for the ontogenesis of giant cells, notably those involved in microtubule cytoskeleton reorganization and cell cycle regulation, strongly suggesting that MiEFF18-mediated SmD1 inactivation in plants leads to a loss of susceptibility to root-knot nematodes.
Project description:H1299 human lung adenocarcinoma cells were transfected with tRF3019a antisense inhibitor (tRF3019asi) or a negative control. Total RNA was extracted and polyA-enriched mRNA libraries were prepared and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform (paired-end, 150 bp). The goal was to identify genes and pathways regulated by tRF3019a.
