Project description:To investigate the genes involved in the compensatory behavior observed in Xenopus Borealis following a genetic perturbation on the Notch signaling pathway, we analyzed the gene expression of the embryos using RNA-Seq for three developmental stages and three treatments
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:The goal of the experiment is to reveal RNA binding preferences of Fritillaria borealis U2AF2 paralogues, using CLIP-seq. Coding sequences of U2AF2alpha, U2AF2beta and Env negative control were fused to a C-terminal V5 tag. Protein expression constructs were transfected in mammalian cell culture. After cross-linking, RNA-protein complexes were recovered with anti-V5 magnetic beads.
