Project description:While the unique symbiotic relationship between anemonefish and sea anemones is iconic, it is still not fully understood how anemonefish withstand and thrive within this venomous host environment. In this study we used a proteotranscriptomics approach to elucidate the proteinaceous toxin repertoire from the most popular host sea anemone Entacmaea quadricolor. Although 1251 different toxin or toxin-like RNA transcripts were expressed in E.quadricolor tentacles and 2736 proteins were detected in milked venom, only 135 (approx. 10%) of proteins in venom were classified as putative toxins. This work raises the perils of defining a dominant venom type based on transcriptomics data alone in sea anemones, as we found that the dominant venom type differed between the transcriptome and proteome data. Moreover, anemonefishes interact with sea anemone proteins, so it is important when determining the dominant toxin type to examine the peptides and proteins that are present in host sea anemone venom and mucus which anemonefishes are known to interact.
Project description:Primary objectives: The primary objective is to investigate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via deep sequencing for mutation detection and by whole genome sequencing for copy number analyses before start (baseline) with regorafenib and at defined time points during administration of regorafenib for treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients in terms of overall survival (OS).

Project description:One ONT-ULK sequencing run from the kidney of a single male CDMR (Bathyergus suillus) sample used to make the mBatSui1.1.primary genome assembly as an evolutionary comparator to our telomere-to-telomere naked mole-rat genome assembly. Specifically, we assembled a CDMR from a wild-derived sample in South African cape and sequenced in Toronto, Canada, using PacBio HiFi (89 Gb, read N50 = 18 Kb) and ONT-ULK (55 Gb, read N50 = 43 Kb) reads (contig N50 = 33 Mb, Compleasm S = 99%, QV = 71.0). This accession stores the ONT-ULK data for this assembly.

Project description:Two PacBio Hifi sequencing runs from the kidney of a single male NMR sample used to make the mHetGla4.1.primary genome assembly. Specifically, we assembled a second NMR genome from an unrelated male of a separate captive colony in Toronto, Canada, using PacBio HiFi (155.8 Gb, read N50 = 11.45 Kb) and ONT-LSK (299.6 Gb, read N50 = 10.1 Kb) reads (contig N50 = 75.7 Mb, Compleasm S = 98%). This accession stores the Pacbio Hifi data for this independent assembly.
