Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified in various tissues and cell types from human, monkey, porcine and mouse. However, expression profile of lncRNAs across Guangxi native cattle and swamp buffalo muscle development has never been investigated. Here, we examine the expression of lncRNA in cattle and buffalo muscle at adult stage(12 months), exhibiting the first report of lncRNA in the Guangxi native cattle and swamp buffalo muscle development of a large animal. 16,236 lncRNA candidates were obtained from buffalo skeletal muscle samples, of which a number of lncRNAs were highly abundant, and 2,161 lncRNAs were differentially expressed between buffalo and cattle. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis confirmed the expression profile of these lncRNAs, including several highly abundant lncRNAs, and a subset of differently expressed lncRNAs according to the high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data. These results indicate that abundant lncRNA is differentially expressed in bovine muscle, indicating important and diverse functions in mammalian muscle development.
Project description:Buffalo breeding has become an important branch of beef cattle industry. It is of great significance to study buffalo meat production and meat quality. However, the important role of mRNA and lncRNA molecules in muscle stem cells (MuSCs) development in buffalo has not been explored. Then, we performed mRNA and lncRNA expression profiling analysis on the proliferation and differentiation of MuSCs in buffalo. The results showed that there were 4,820 differentially genes, 12,227 mRNAs, and 1,352 lncRNAs. These differentially expressed mRNAs are enriched in biological processes such as cell cycle, p53 signaling pathway, RNA transport, and Calcium signaling pathway and others. We also identified a number of genes, such as MCMC4, SERDINE1, ISLR, LOC102394806, and LOC102403551, and found that interference with MYLPF expression significantly inhibited the differentiation of MuSCs. In conclusion, our research revealed the role of mRNA and lncRNA expression in the differentiation of buffalo MuSCs. This study can be used as an important reference for the study of RNA regulation during muscle development in buffalo.
Project description:To dissect the gene regulatory networks operating during Scarlet Runner Bean seed development, we identified the binding sites genome-wide for transcription factor in Scarlet Runner Bean seeds during seed development using ChIP-seq
Project description:Many genes involve in pathogenicity and virulence are induced only in plant or in the presence of host components. Bean leaf extract was obtained from healthy bean leaves. In this work we investigated the effect of bean leaf extract on the transcriptomic profile of the bacterium, when grown at low temperature in minimal medium with or without extract from healthy bean leaves.
Project description:250 adult T. urticae females from the London strain (grown on acyanogenic P. vulgaris cv. Prelude bean plants) were transferred to cyanogenic P. lunatus cv. 8078 bean plants. Thirty-five generations after the host transfer, total RNA was extracted from mites growing on both bean species (London and London-CYANO strain) and used in in a genome-wide gene expression microarray (Sureprint G3 microarray, Agilent) experiment to assess significantly differentially expressed genes (FC ≥ 2 and FDR-corrected p-value < 0.05) between mites grown on P. vulgaris (cv. Prelude) bean plants (London strain) and mites grown for 35 generations on P. lunatus (cv. 8078) bean plants (London-CYANO strain).
