Q Jiang, Q Li, H Yu, LF Kong - Genes & Genomics
Abstract Selective breeding often produces an improvement in phenotype. Much of the
phenotypic change within a species is a consequence of genetic variation. However, there is
growing evidence for phenotypic change even in the absence of DNA sequence …

Abstract Reduced representation genome sequencing such as restriction-site-associated
DNA (RAD) sequencing is finding increased use to identify and genotype large numbers of
single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in model and nonmodel species. We generated …

Abstract Transcriptome data are a good resource to develop microsatellites due to their
potential in targeting candidate genes. However, developing microsatellites can be a time-
consuming enterprise due to the numerous primer pairs to be tested. Therefore, the use of …

Mac’s May Goals
This month I am revising my MBDbs-seq data from C. gigas gill tissue. We’ve mapped the bisulfite reads to the WHOLE darn genome and so now I’m in the process of characterizing what regions of the genome are methylated in the gill tissue. Beyond that I am working on finding the best way to visualize and analyze the relationships between methylation within genes (where most of the methylation is found) and different attributes of these genes including length, number of exons, expression levels etc. Since the reads have been mapped to the WHOLE darn genome, this is the most comprehensive analysis to date and will hopefully find itself written up and submitted as a manuscript. My goal for the end of May is to have beautiful figures ready for this paper.
I am still waiting for data from Nanostring and will also be isolating DNA/RNA from the EE2 exposures for MBD-ChIP analysis.

Next Week: SAFS Picnic Dunk Booth
We’re only a week away from this year’s SAFS Spring Picnic, featuring the “Ultimate Peer Review” live dunk booth fundraiser. You answered the call and the nominations poured in, so here are your Top 10 Dunkees that will take the plunge to support student travel!

Dunkees will stand before the SAFS community at 5pm on Friday, May 17, 2013 to be auctioned off to the highest bidder on the SAFS lawn. Our very own Adam Hansen of the Beauchamp lab will serve as our hilarious auctioneer. All proceeds will go to the Fish Interdisciplinary Network of Students (FINS) to support student travel grants. So be sure to bring some cash and a festive spirit if you really want to see them take a bath!
Hope to see you there and please spread the word to deep-pocketed colleagues and former students to join in the fun!
