Project description:Developmental dynamics of miRNAs across chicken pectoral muscle and effect of gga-miRNA-454 on the differentiation of myoblasts inhibits myoblast differentiation by targeting SBF2
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to compare the microRNA transcriptomes of four high-altitude vertebrates and their low-altitude relatives for six organs (heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney and muscle). Methods: Three adult females for each population of the five species from distinct altitudes (600 m, 2000 m, and 3000 m) were humanely killed to ameliorate suffering. A piece of tissue fragments from six organs including heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and skeletal muscle(longissimus muscle for pig, cattle, yak and sheep, and pectoral muscle for chicken) were used to extract total RNA. Small RNA libraries were constructed using the Illumina TruSeq Small RNA Sample Prep kit and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500. The raw data were submitted to miRDeep2.0 to detect miRNAs for each species with default parameters. Results: we detected 2,036 mature miRNAs in five species and identified 49 orthologues among vertebrate, 111 orthologues in artiodactyla and 171 orthologues in ruminant . Conclusions: We identified comparable numbers of miRNAs in each species.
Project description:In the modern chicken industry, fast-growing broilers have undergone strong artificial selection for muscle growth, which has led to remarkable phenotypic variations compared with slow-growing chickens. However, the molecular mechanism underlying these phenotypes differences remains unknown. In this study, a systematic identification of candidate genes and new pathways related to myofiber development and composition in chicken Soleus muscle has been made using gene expression profiles of two distinct breeds: Qingyuan partridge (QY), a slow-growing Chinese breed possessing high meat quality and Cobb 500 (CB), a commercial fast-growing broiler line. Agilent cDNA microarray analyses were conducted to determine gene expression profiles of soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscle sampled at sexual maturity age of QY (112 d) and CB (42 d).
Project description:Copy number variation profiles comparing control female Dehong chiken blood DNA with 11 different chicken breeds(Silkie, Tibetan Chicken, Gallus gallus spadiceus, Bearded Chicken, Jinhu Chicken, Anak Chicken, Beijing Fatty Chicken, Langshan Chicken, Qingyuan partridge Chicken, Shek-Ki Chicken, Wenchang Chicken) blood DNA. Each test breeds had one male and one female sample, totally 22 test DNA samples.Goal is to get the golbal copy number variation profile between chicken breeds.
Project description:In this study, methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (MeDIP-seq) was used to provide an atlas of DNA methylomes in the heart tissue of hypoxic highland Tibetan and lowland Chahua chicken embryos.A total of 31.2 gigabases (Gb) of sequence data were generated from six MeDIP-seq libraries. We identified 1049 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and 695 related differentially methylated genes (DMGs) between the two chicken breeds. The DMGs were involved in vascular smooth muscle contraction, VEGF signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, and other hypoxia related pathways. Five candidate genes that had low methylation (EDNRA, EDNRB, BMPR1B, BMPRII, and ITGA2) might have key regulatory functions for hypoxia adaptation in Tibetan chicken embryos. Our study provides significant explanations for the functions of genes and their epigenetic regulation for hypoxic adaptation in Tibetan chickens.
Project description:Purpose:Our data significantly advance understanding of probiotic regulatory mechanism of miRNA in ileum of Taiping chicken Methods: Using RNA-seq analysis to study the gene expression in ileum tissue after Taiping chicken was given probiotics Results: A total of 164,629,826 and 156,180,764 raw reads were generated from the CT and MP, respectively. After removing the interference data, about 164,028,872 and 155,579,470 clean reads were obtained Conclusions: through high-throughput sequencing of the six libraries from ileum of Taiping chicken, the expression level of mRNA has significant changes after given probiotics
