Project description:Illumina technology was used to generate mRNA profiles of Populus tremula x alba 717-1B4 control roots and Laccaria bicolor S238N ectomycorrhiza. Total RNA was extracted, TruSeq mRNA Stranded libraries were constructed and and sequenced (2 x 150 bp Illumina HiSeq3000) at the Genotoul sequencing facilities (Toulouse, France). Raw reads were trimmed for low quality (quality score 0.05), Illumina adapters and sequences shorter than 15 nucleotides and aligned to the Populus trichocarpa v4.1 primary transcripts available at Phytozome (https://phytozome-next.jgi.doe.gov/info/Ptrichocarpa_v4_1l) using CLC Genomics Workbench v24.
Project description:A microarray analysis of whole-genome gene expression and single feature polymorphism in a (Populus trichocarpa X Populus deltoides) X Populus deltoides pseudo-backcross pedigree. Genetic variation in gene expression was quantified for 55,793 predicted gene models based on a single probe per gene. Concurrently, sequence-level polymorphism was analyzed based on dedicated probes identified in a pilot study comprised of the two parent genotypes (GPL7169). Resultant data contributed to a high density genetic map and to analysis of the genetic architecture of gene expression in Populus. Keywords: Genetic analysis of gene expression and polymorphism, eQTL
