Abstract:
Abstract Background: Both drought and heat stress are serious global problems, leading to agricultural production loss. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in plant species responding to individual drought and heat stress. However, the miRNAs and mRNAs in association with combined drought and heat in crops like tomato remains unclear. Results: We studied the crosstalk of miRNAs and their target genes in tomato plants grown under simultaneous drought and heat stress that frequently happen in field conditions. In total, 335 known miRNAs representing 55 miRNA families and 430 potential novel miRNAs were identified in Solanum lycopersicum L. using small RNA deep sequencing. Through expression analysis, miRNAs in association with drought, heat and the combination of these were investigated. In total, 61, 74 and 37 miRNAs were differentially regulated for combination (of both stresses) vs control, combination vs drought and combination vs heat, respectively. Target genes with different expression levels were found using degradome sequencing, which were mainly involved in transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription, regulation of transcription, nucleus, DNA binding etc . The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) results confirmed the accuracy of sequencing. Conclusions: Our study serves as valuable knowledge on how crop adapted to combined drought and heat stress by regulating miRNAs and mRNAs, which provide information for crop improvement to deal with future climate changes.Keywords:

The next generation sequencing(NGS),also known as high-throughput sequencing technology,is a landmark of revolution in the history for DNA sequencing.NGS have adopted a new sequencing strategy—cyclic-array sequencing,which was divided into pyrosequencing(Roche/454),Solexa sequencing technology(Illumina),the polony sequencing technology(ABI/ SOLiD),Polonator sequencing technology and HeliScope single-molecule sequencing technology.Because of its high-throughput,low cost and short time-consuming,NGS has the potential to replace traditional Sanger sequencing and to become the most important research tools in post-genomic era.Researchers could do more comprehensive and in-depth analysis with genome,transcriptome and proteome at cheaper price.NGS has broad application prospects in the field of cancer research.In addition to accomplishing the tumor genome sequencing quickly,it also provides us a fully and rapidly powerful digital tool for tumor transcriptome,epigenetic and DNA-protein interaction analysis.It is expecting to bring about revolutionary change in the areas of life science,medicine science and others.

Deep sequencing allows for a rapid, accurate characterization of microbial DNA and RNA sequences in many types of samples. Deep sequencing (also called next generation sequencing or NGS) is being developed to assist with the diagnosis of a wide variety of infectious diseases. In this study, seven frozen brain samples from deceased subjects with recent encephalitis were investigated. RNA from each sample was extracted, randomly reverse transcribed and sequenced. The sequence analysis was performed in a blinded fashion and confirmed with pathogen-specific PCR. This analysis successfully identified measles virus sequences in two brain samples and herpes simplex virus type-1 sequences in three brain samples. No pathogen was identified in the other two brain specimens. These results were concordant with pathogen-specific PCR and partially concordant with prior neuropathological examinations, demonstrating that deep sequencing can accurately identify viral infections in frozen brain tissue.

Avian leukosis viruses subgroup J (ALV-J) exists as a complex mixture of different, but closely related genomes named quasispecies subjected to continuous change according to the Principles of Darwinian evolution. The present study seeks to compare conventional Sanger sequencing with deep sequencing using MiSeq platform to study quasispecies dynamics of ALV-J. The accuracy and reproducibility of MiSeq sequencing was determined better than Sanger sequencing by running each experiment in duplicate. According to the mutational rate of single position and the ability to distinguish dominant quasispecies with two sequencing methods, conventional Sanger sequencing technique displayed high randomness due to few sequencing samples, while deep sequencing could reflect the composition of the quasispecies more accurately. In the mean time, the research of quasispecies via Sanger sequencing was simulated and analyzed with the aid of re-sampling strategy with replacement for 1000 times repeat from high-throughput sequencing data, which indicated that the higher antibody titer, the higher sequence entropy, the harder analyzing with the conventional Sanger sequencing, resulted in lower ratios of dominant variants. In sum, deep sequencing is better suited for detecting rare variants comprehensively. The simulation of Sanger sequencing that we propose here will also help to standardize quasispecies researching under different selection pressure based on next-generation sequencing data.

Abstract The microbiome plays a central role in biochemical cycling and nutrient turnover of most ecosystems. Because it can comprise myriad microbial prokaryotes, eukaryotes and viruses, microbiome characterization requires high-throughput sequencing to attain an accurate identification and quantification of such co-existing microbial populations. Short-read next-generation-sequencing (srNGS) revolutionized the study of microbiomes and remains the most widely used approach, yet read lengths spanning only a few of the nine hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene limit phylogenetic resolution leading to misclassification or failure to classify in a high percentage of cases. Here we evaluate a synthetic long-read (SLR) NGS approach for full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing that is high-throughput, highly accurate and low-cost. The sequencing approach is amenable to highly multiplexed sequencing and provides microbiome sequence data that surpasses existing short and long-read modalities in terms of accuracy and phylogenetic resolution. We validated this commercially-available technology, termed LoopSeq, by characterizing the microbial composition of well-established mock microbiome communities and diverse real-world samples. SLR sequencing revealed differences in aquatic community complexity associated with environmental gradients, resolved species-level community composition of uterine lavage from subjects with histories of misconception and accurately detected strain differences, multiple copies of the 16S rRNA in a single strain’s genome, as well as low-level contamination in soil cyanobacterial cultures. This approach has implications for widespread adoption of high-resolution, accurate long-read microbiome sequencing as it is generated on popular short read sequencing platforms without the need for additional infrastructure.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been proposed to be associated with glioblastoma multiforme, but there are conflicting results including lack of CMV mRNA in transcriptome sequencing data. Here, we utilized deep-coverage whole-genome sequencing data to detect latent CMV DNA in surgically resected tumors and to assess the relative proportions of viral and human DNA. We did not find traces of CMV in 52.6 billion DNA sequencing reads from 34 glioblastomas. By statistical analysis, we conclude that should the virus be present in these tumors, the average CMV level does not exceed one virus per 240,000 tumor cells (99% CI).

This review aims to assess and recommend approaches for targeted and agnostic High Throughput Sequencing of RNA viruses in a variety of sample matrices. HTS also referred to as deep sequencing, next generation sequencing and third generation sequencing; has much to offer to the field of environmental virology as its increased sequencing depth circumvents issues with cloning environmental isolates for Sanger sequencing. That said however, it is important to consider the challenges and biases that method choice can impart to sequencing results. Here, methodology choices from RNA extraction, reverse transcription to library preparation are compared based on their impact on the detection or characterization of RNA viruses.
