Project description:We performed high-throughput sequencing on regenerating samples and compared the data with regular embryonic and postlarval development of Sycon ciliatum. Our comparative transcriptomic analysis illuminates that sponge regeneration is equally dynamic as embryogenesis.
Project description:We describe an application of deep sequencing and de novo assembly of short RNA reads to investigate small interfering (si)RNAs mediated immunity in leaf samples from eight tree taxa naturally occurring in Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire, UK. BLAST search for homologues of contigs in the GenBank identified siRNA populations against a number of RNA viruses and a Ty1-copia retrotransposons in these tree species. Small RNA sequencing and de novo assembly
Project description:We reported an atlas of de novo-defined, full-length macaque gene models on the basis of single molecule long-read transcriptome sequencing (Iso-seq).
Project description:This work describes the molecular mechanisms of meiotic maturation and cell cycle in the starfish Astropecten Aranciacus. The study has been conducted assembling a de-novo transcriptome from the different cellular stages: oocytes, egg, zygote and early embryos. Differential expression analysis followed by rtPCR are used to assess the validity of the assembly.
