ABSTRACT: The genome assembly of the harpacticoid copepod Tisbe holothuriae. PCRfree WGS reads was assembled using SPAdes and scaffolded with the HAHV01 mRNA transcriptome.
Project description:The naked mole-rat (NMR; Heterocephalus glaber) has recently gained considerable attention in the scientific community for its unique potential to unveil novel insights in the fields of medicine, biochemistry, and evolution. NMRs exhibit unique adaptations that include protracted fertility, cancer resistance, eusociality, and anoxia. This suite of adaptations is not found in other rodent species, suggesting that interrogating conserved and accelerated regions in the NMR genome will find regions of the NMR genome fundamental to their unique adaptations. However, the current NMR genome assembly has limits that make studying structural variations, heterozygosity, and non-coding adaptations challenging. We present a complete diploid naked-mole rat genome assembly by integrating long-read and 10X-linked read genome sequencing of a male NMR and its parents, and Hi-C sequencing in the NMR hypothalamus (N=2). Reads were identified as maternal, paternal or ambiguous (TrioCanu). We then polished genomes with Flye, Racon and Medaka. Assemblies were then scaffolded using the following tools in order: Scaff10X, Salsa2, 3d-DNA, Minimap2-alignment between assemblies, and the Juicebox Assembly Tools. We then subjected the assemblies to another round of polishing, including short-read polishing with Freebayes. We assembled the NMR mitochondrial genome with mitoVGP. Y chromosome contigs were identified by aligning male and female 10X linked reads to the paternal genome and finding male-biased contigs not present in the maternal genome. Contigs were assembled with publicly available male NMR Fibroblast Hi-C-seq data (SRR820318). Both assemblies have their sex chromosome haplotypes merged so that both assemblies have a high-quality X and Y chromosome. Finally, assemblies were evaluated with Quast, BUSCO, and Merqury, which all reported the base-pair quality and contiguity of both assemblies as high-quality. The assembly will next be annotated by Ensembl using public RNA-seq data from multiple tissues (SRP061363). Together, this assembly will provide a high-quality resource to the NMR and comparative genomics communities.

Project description:The advent of high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has led to the discovery of unprecedentedly immense transcriptomes encoded by eukaryotic genomes. However, the transcriptome maps are still incomplete partly because they were mostly reconstructed based on RNA-seq reads that lack their orientations (known as unstranded reads) and certain boundary information. Methods to expand the usability of unstranded RNA-seq data by predetermining the orientation of the reads and precisely determining the boundaries of assembled transcripts could significantly benefit the quality of the resulting transcriptome maps. Here, we present a high-performing transcriptome assembly pipeline, called CAFE, that significantly improves the original assemblies, respectively assembled with stranded and/or unstranded RNA-seq data, by orienting unstranded reads using the maximum likelihood estimation and by integrating information about transcription start sites and cleavage and polyadenylation sites. Applying large-scale transcriptomic data comprising 230 billion RNA-seq reads from the ENCODE, Human BodyMap Projects, The Cancer Genome Atlas, and GTEx, CAFE enabled us to predict the directions of about 220 billion unstranded reads, which led to the construction of more accurate transcriptome maps, comparable to the manually curated map, and a comprehensive lncRNA catalogue that includes thousands of novel lncRNAs. Our pipeline should not only help to build comprehensive, precise transcriptome maps from complex genomes but also to expand the universe of non-coding genomes. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
Project description:The Yeonsan Ogye (Ogye) is the rare black chicken breed domesticated in Korean peninsula, which has been noted for entire black color upon its appearances including feather, skin, comb, eyes, shank, claws and internal organs. In this study, whole genome, transcriptome and epigenome sequencings of Ogye were performed using high-throughput NGS sequencing platforms. We have produced Illumina short-reads (Paired-End, Mate-Pair and FOSMID) and PacBio long-reads for whole genome sequencing (WGS), 1.4 billion reads for RNA-seq, and 123 million reads for RRBS (reduced representation bisulfite sequencing) data. Using WGS data, Ogye genome has been assembled, and coding/non-coding transcriptome maps were constructed on Ogye genome given largescale sequencing data. We have predicted 17,472 (3,550 newly annotated and 13,922 known) protein-coding transcripts, and 9,443 (6,689 novel and 2,754 known) long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).

Project description:For this project, we have sequenced, assembled and annotated a transcriptome of a diploid wheat Triticum urartu accession PI 428198. The sequencing libraries were prepared from shoot and root tissues harvested from 2-3 week old seedlings. All sequencing was carried out on the Illumina HiSeq platform using the 100 bp pair-end protocol (248.5 million reads). The assembly was constructed using a multiple k-mer approach with a de novo assembly algorithm implemented in CLC Genomics Workbench 5.5 and additional redundancy reduction with CD-HIT and blast2cap3 programs. Open reading frames and proteins were predicted using BLASTX searches and a findorf algorithm.
Project description:We present a draft genome assembly that includes 200 Gb of Illumina reads, 4 Gb of Moleculo synthetic long-reads and 108 Gb of Chicago libraries, with a final size matching the estimated genome size of 2.7 Gb, and a scaffold N50 of 4.8 Mb. We also present an alternative assembly including 27 Gb raw reads generated using the Pacific Biosciences platform. In addition, we sequenced the proteome of the same individual and RNA from three different tissue types from three other species of squid species (Onychoteuthis banksii, Dosidicus gigas, and Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis) to assist genome annotation. We annotated 33,406 protein coding genes supported by evidence and the genome completeness estimated by BUSCO reached 92%. Repetitive regions cover 49.17% of the genome.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to screen the candidate genes involved in drought avoidance of Q. liaotungensis Methods:The Q. liaotungensis leaves were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina Hiseq 4000. The high-quality reads were obtained by removing the reads that contained adaptor contamination, low quality bases and undetermined bases.The transcriptome were de novo assembly. Results:A total of 54153182 raw reads were obtained from Illumina sequencing platform, and 53021436 clean reads were generated after filtering out the low quality reads. The clean reads were assembled into 41207 transcripts with median length 704 and GC content 42.17%, and 25593 unigenes with median length 687 and GC content 42.31%, based on Trinity assembly platform Conclusions:RNA-Seq was applied to polyadenylate-enriched mRNAs from leaves of Q. liaotungensis to obtain the transcriptome. De novo assembly was then applied followed by gene annotation and functional classification. The SSRs and SNPs were also obtained using assembled transcripts as reference sequences. The results of this study lay the foundation for further research on genetic diversity of Quercus.
