Project description:Reduced representation libraries from DNA pools analysed with next generation semiconductor based-sequencing to identify SNPs in extreme and divergent pigs for back fat thickness.
Project description:Microbiome LS (Library Source/Strategy) model is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) model that identifies and annotates microbiome DNA library source or strategy in texts. This is the final model version used to annotate metagenomics publications in Europe PMC and enrich metagenomics studies in MGnify with LS metadata from literature.

Project description:Differential hyper- and hypo-methylation regions in G0 versus G4/G5 CMP The goal of this study is to evaluate changes in CpG methylation profilings of telomere dysfunctional common myeloid progenitor cells (CMP) as compared to their wild type controls Genomic DNA was extracted from sorted CMP populations isolated from 3 pools of G0 or 2 pools of G5 mice using UltraPure Phenol:Chloroform:Isoamyl Alcohol according to manufacturer’s instructions (Life Technologies). 14,000 to 30,000 cells were available for each sample, resulting in a minimum of 45ng of DNA. Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling was performed by RRBS. Library preparation and sequencing were performed at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center’s DNA Methylation Analysis Core and Sequencing and Microarray Facility, according to published protocols. RRBS sequencing data were aligned and methylation was called using Bismark v0.7.119. In brief, bisulphite-treated DNA was aligned to UCSC Genome Browser mm10 reference genome using Bowtie. In total 29-38 million reads were generated per sample with alignment rates around 63%. Next, MethylKit10 implemented with Fisher’s exact test was used to compare the cytosine methylation profiles of G0 and G5 CMP. Gene promoter regions were calculated based on RefSeq gene annotations with regions starting 1 kb upstream of the annotated transcription start site (TSS) and extending 500 base pairs downstream of TSS. Exons, introns, and CpG islands coordinates were collected from the UCSC Genome Browser mm10 version.
Project description:Sequencing based approaches have led to new insights about DNA methylation. While many different techniques for genome-scale mapping of DNA methylation have been employed, throughput has been a key limitation for most. To further facilitate the mapping of DNA methylation, we describe a protocol for gel-free multiplexed reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (mRRBS) that reduces the workload dramatically and enables processing of 96 or more samples per week. mRRBS achieves similar CpG coverage as the original RRBS protocol, while the higher throughput and lower cost make it better suited for large-scale DNA methylation mapping studies including cohorts of cancer samples.
