RESUMO
Objective: Sarcandra glabra was recognized as an important research material attributing to its high medicinal value and economic value. However, little information was known about its genomics and regulatory pathway participating in reproductive development. For the first step to understand the molecular basis and further explore genes which related to metabolism and resistance in S. glabra. Methods: A SMART full-length complementary DNA library from the leaves tissue was constructed and characterized to providing the experimental basis for discovery of functional genes of S. glabra. The assembly expressed sequence tag (EST) data were completed by ABI3730 DNA program. A high quality full-length cDNA library was constructed successfully from S. glabra leaves. Results: The titer of library was 1.14×107 pfu/mL and the average length of inserted fragments was 1 000 bp. A total of 221 clones were sequenced from the cDNA library and obtained 177 EST sequences. The EST sequences were assembled into 151 unigenes including 12 contigs and 119 singletons (79%). EST exhibited significant similarity with known putative functional nucleotide sequences in the GenBank database. These genes were mostly involved in cell development, signal transduction, protein synthesis, transcription, stress tolerance response, energy metabolism based on molecular function of GO annotation. Conclusion: This report constructs a full-length-cDNA library and analyzes the bioinformatics of the related EST sequences, and then offers a reference to genomic research of S. glabra.
RESUMO
Sequences from the clones of full-length enriched cDNA libraries serve as valuable resources for functional genomics related studies, genome annotation and SNP discovery. We analyzed 7,392 high-quality chromatograms (Phred value >30) obtained from sequencing the 5' ends of clones derived from full-length enriched cDNA libraries of Korean native pigs including brainstem, liver, cerebellum, neocortex and spleen libraries. In addition, 50,000 EST sequence trace files obtained from GenBank were combined with our sequences to identify cSNPs in silico. The process generated 11,324 contigs, of which 2,895 contigs contained at least one SNP and among them 610 contigs had a minimum of one sequence from Korean native pigs. Of 610 contigs, we randomly selected 262 contigs and performed in silico analysis for the identification of cSNPs. From the results, we identified 1,531 putative coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (cSNPs) and the SNP detection frequency was one SNP per 465 bp. A large-scale sequencing result of clones from full-length enriched cDNA libraries and identified cSNPs will serve as a useful resource to functional genomics related projects such as a pig HapMap project in the near future
