RNA-seq

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases.
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while microarray-based...

Sanger Sequencing

Sanger Sequencing

DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Genome Annotation and Assembly

Genome Annotation and Assembly

The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Area of Science:

Plant genetics
Molecular biology
Cytogenetics

Background:

Accurate identification of chromosomes is crucial for understanding plant genomes.
Distinguishing alien chromosomes within a host genome is essential for breeding programs.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a rye-specific DNA probe for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
To utilize this probe for precise identification and karyotyping of rye chromosomes in various wheat-rye genetic materials.

Main Methods:

Cloning and characterization of a rye-specific repetitive DNA sequence (R173 family, UCM600).
Application of UCM600 as a FISH probe for whole chromosome painting.
Comparison of FISH with genomic in situ hybridization (GISH).
Combination of UCM600 with other rye-specific probes (Bilby, pSc200) for enhanced karyotyping.

Main Results:

UCM600 is a dispersed repetitive sequence found across all seven rye chromosomes, absent from pericentromeric and subtelomeric regions.
FISH using UCM600 provided sharper signals and less background compared to GISH.
Distinctive chromosome painting patterns allowed for the karyotyping of rye cultivar 'Imperial'.
Rye chromosomes were successfully identified in triticale and wheat lines containing alien rye chromatin.

Conclusions:

The UCM600 probe is effective for rye chromosome identification and karyotyping in wheat backgrounds.
This FISH-based method offers an improvement over GISH for visualizing rye DNA.
UCM600's conserved distribution across wild Secale species makes it valuable for detecting introgression from wild rye into wheat.
