Sample GSM3204768 Query DataSets for GSM3204768
Status Public on Apr 11, 2019
Title mrg-1_rep2
Sample type SRA
 
Source name XA6227
Organism Caenorhabditis elegans
Characteristics developmental stage: L1 larvae
strain: XA6227
genotype: mrg-1 -/-
Growth protocol worms were expanded by hand picking to select worms carrying the balancer for mrg-1 mutants. 2000-4000 (depending on the replica) non rollers of F1 gravid adults, homozygous for mrg-1 mutation, were hand-picked and hypochlorite treated to collect embryos. For control N2, an equivalent number of gravid adults were washed off from plates and hypochlorite treated. Eggs were let hatch in M9 for 18 hrs and then refed for 2 hrs and 30 min
Extracted molecule total RNA
Extraction protocol L1s were lysed in XB buffer from ARCTURUS® PicoPure® RNA Isolation Kit (Thermo Fisher), incubated 30 min at 42°C and snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen. After freeze cracking of the samples by 6 subsequent transfers from liquid nitrogen to 42°C, samples were let vigorously shake 10 min at RT and 10 min at 42°C. Next, RNA was extracted following the manufacturer’s instructions, including an on column DNAse digestion
NGS libraries were prepared from 2 ng of input RNA, using the Total RNA-Seq NuGen Ovation v2 kit in combination with the Illumina TruSeq DNA Nano kit, according to manufacturer’s guides
 
Library strategy RNA-Seq
Library source transcriptomic
Library selection cDNA
Instrument model Illumina HiSeq 2500
 
Data processing The RNA-seq data were mapped to the c.elegans genome (ce10) with the R package QuasR (www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/html/QuasR.html) using the included spliced alignment algorithm SpliceMap. The command used to perform the alignments was "proj <- qAlign("samples.txt","BSgenome.Celegans.UCSC.ce10",splicedAlignment=TRUE)". Gene expression was quantified by counting the number of reads that started within any of the exons belonging to a particular gene (WormBase, WS220). The command used to create the count table was qCount(proj,exons) which does not consider the strand of the reads (unstranded protocol). To compensate for differences in the read depths of the various libraries, each library was normalized to a total of 24.8M reads which represents the average library size. Log2 expression levels were calculated after adding a pseudocount of 8 (y=log2(x+8). This was done to minimize the large differences in expression that would otherwise be caused by genes with small number of counts.
