Project description:Cultivated carrot (Daucus carota L. ssp. sativus) was domesticated from wild carrot (Daucus carota L. ssp. carota) with radical different traits. The aim of this study was to compare the root transcriptomes between cultivated and wild carrots for SNP discovery, inferring domestication process, and identifying domestication genes. Six cultivated carrots representing main European carrot root types and five wild carrot populations from widely dispersed sites were used. The root transcriptomes were sequenced with multiplexing paried-end sequencing in Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx.
Project description:Purpose and methods:Transcriptome profiling of Phytophthora sojae P6497 mycelium (3-days old) and Phytophthora infestans T30-4 mycelium (6-days old) were generated to find out the relationship between 6mA methylation and gene expression. RNA-seq data was mapped using Tophat2, and gene expression data was generated by Cufflinks. Transcriptome profiling of P. sojae psdamt3 mutant T9 (lost 374bp by CRISPR/Cas9) was generated to check the differential expressed genes (DEGs) between the mutant and wild-type P. sojae P6497. Read counts was calculated using featureCounts, and DEGs was calculated using DEseq2 with |log2FC|≥1, y-axis is FDR<0.05. Conclusions: 6mA is associated with lowly expressed genes. Examination of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in psdamt3 uncovers a total of 3156 genes, with 1544 genes up-regulated and 1622 genes down-regulated.
