Project description:Nanopore Sequencing and assembly of Col-0 carrying seed coat expressed GFP and RFP transgenes flanking the centromere of chromosome 3 (CTL 3.9) - additionally, DNA methylation was derived using deepsignal-plant using these reads.
Project description:Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) is currently the gold standard for DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine, 5mC) profiling, however the destructive nature of sodium bisulfite results in DNA fragmentation and subsequent biases in sequencing data. Such issues have led to the development of bisulfite-free methods for 5mC detection. Nanopore sequencing is a long read non-destructive approach that directly analyzes DNA and RNA fragments in real time. Recently, computational tools have been developed that enable base-resolution detection of 5mC from Oxford Nanopore sequencing data. In this chapter we provide a detailed protocol for preparation, sequencing, read assembly and analysis of genome-wide 5mC using Nanopore sequencing technologies.
Project description:We identified hankyphage prophages within B. thetaiotaomicron isolates gathered from French hospitals. We extracted genomic DNA from an overnight culture from a single colony of each strain and sequenced them using Nanopore sequencing using the Plasmidsaurus platform. This long-read approach helped the assembly of the phages and determination of the hankyphage ends. We also improved the annotation of the reference hankyphage (hankyphage p00 from P. dorei HM719) using a structural prediction approach and annotated our B. thetaiotaomicron hankyphages using this new annotation. In this project we upload the genomic raw reads of nanopore sequencing of our hankyphage-bearing B. thetaiotaomicron collection (jmh strains) and the processed assembled hankyphages.
