Full-length transcriptome profiling for fruit development in Diospyros oleifera using nanopore sequencing.

OBJECTIVES: Diospyros oleifera, one of the most economically important Diospyros species, is an ideal model for studying the fruit development of persimmon. While, the lack of whole-transcriptome has hindered the complex transcriptional regulation mechanisms of sugar and tannin during fruit development. DATA DESCRIPTION: We applied Oxford Nanopore Technologies to six developmental stage of fruit from D. oleifera for use in transcriptome sequencing. As a result of full-length transcriptome sequencing, 55.87 Gb of clean data were generated. After mapping onto the reference genome of D. oleifera, 51,588 full-length collapsing transcripts, including 2,727 new gene loci and 43,223 transcripts, were obtained. Comprehensively annotated, 38,086 of new transcripts were functional annotation, and 972 lncRNAs, 7,159 AS events were predicted. Here, we released the transcriptome database of D. oleifera at different stage of fruit development,which will provide a fundamention of to investigatethe transcript structure, variants and evolution of persimmon.

The Laser Rangefinder System in Quadrature Modem and Ambiguity Resolution.

We propose a laser rangefinder system based on the quadrature modem to achieve amplitude modulation, the method improves the accuracy of the phase measuring and simplifies the hardware design compared to the system with the secondary mixing methods, and to solve the range ambiguity caused by the measuring process, the ranging ambiguity resolving algorithm based on the over-determined equation is proposed, which avoids the searching of the optimal solution, finally the two K60 laser rangefinders and three proposed rangefinders were experimented on the national standard baseline with the precision of 0.18 mm. the measuring time of the proposed system is less than 1.8 s, the average measuring error of those three prototypes is less than 2 mm, and the standard deviation is less than 1 mm within the measuring range 0~60 m. The experimental results show that the proposed design system of the rangefinder has higher measurement accuracy and speed in comparison with the traditional ones, which indicates the high reliability of the proposed design system.
