Project description:Rhizoctonia solani Kühn is a soilborne basidiomycetous fungus that causes significant damage to many economically important crops. R. solani isolates are classified into 13 Anastomosis Groups (AGs) with interspecific subgroups having distinctive morphology, pathogenicity and wide host range. However, the genetic factors that drive the unique fungal pathology are still not well characterized due to the limited number of available annotated genomes. Therefore, we performed genome sequencing, assembly, annotation and functional analysis of 13 R. solani isolates covering 7 AGs and selected subgroups (AG1-IA, AG1-IB, AG1-IC, AG2-2IIIB, AG3-PT, AG3-TB, AG4-HG-I, AG5, AG6, and AG8). Here, we report a pangenome comparative analysis of 13 R. solani isolates covering important groups to elucidate unique and common attributes associated with each isolate, including molecular factors potentially involved in determining AG-specific host preference. Finally, we present the largest repertoire of annotated R. solani genomes, compiled as a comprehensive and user-friendly database, viz. RsolaniDB. Since 7 genomes are reported for the first time, the database stands as a valuable platform for formulating new hypotheses by hosting annotated genomes, with tools for functional enrichment, orthologs and sequence analysis, currently not available with other accessible state-of-the-art platforms hosting Rhizoctonia genome sequences.
Project description:CGH was used to compare the genomes of a non-invading P. gingivalis strain to the database W83 strain (invader). For hybridization and scanning, TIGR microarrays and protocols were used. The results were independently processed using two different software packages.
Project description:Purpose: to investigate occupancy of Pol II and H3K27Ac on the HCMV and cellular genomes at early times post-infection in a lytic model
Project description:RNA‐seq technology to detect the differentially expressed mRNAs, lncRNAs and miRNAs in KBD patients. The database of Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEEG) were employed to conduct functional annotation and pathway enriched analysis for differential expression.
Project description:We constructed a protein database (DBCGR2) for gut microbiome metaproteomics, which was based on a database of cultivated genomes (Cultivated Genome Reference 2 - CGR2).
Project description:Transcription profiling of Brassica rapa, Brassica oleracea and Brassica napus I and II The nuclear genomes of the resynthesised B. napus lines should be identical but, as one (B. napus I) involved a cross of B. oleracea onto B. rapa, and the other (B. napus II) involved a cross of B rapa onto B. oleracea, they differ in cytoplasm, and hence contain different chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes. Four-condition experiment, comparison of transcription profiles of the genomes. Four biological replicates were used, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
