Grain development, as a vital process in the crop's life cycle, is crucial for determining crop quality and yield. However, the molecular basis and regulatory network of barley grain development is not well understood at present. Here, we investigated the transcriptional dynamics of barley grain development through RNA sequencing at four developmental phases, including early prestorage phase (3 days post anthesis (DPA)), late prestorage or transition phase (8 DPA), early storage phase (13 DPA), and levels off stages (18 DPA). Transcriptome profiling found that pronounced shifts occurred in the abundance of transcripts involved in both primary and secondary metabolism during grain development. The transcripts' activity was decreased during maturation while the largest divergence was observed between the transitions from prestorage phase to storage phase, which coincided with the physiological changes. Furthermore, the transcription factors, hormone signal transduction-related as well as sugar-metabolism-related genes, were found to play a crucial role in barley grain development. Finally, 4771 RNA editing events were identified in these four development stages, and most of the RNA editing genes were preferentially expressed at the prestore stage rather than in the store stage, which was significantly enriched in "essential" genes and plant hormone signal transduction pathway. These results suggested that RNA editing might act as a 'regulator' to control grain development. This study systematically dissected the gene expression atlas of barley grain development through transcriptome analysis, which not only provided the potential targets for further functional studies, but also provided insights into the dynamics of gene regulation underlying grain development in barley and beyond.

Original SAMTOOLS package has been split into three separate repositories including Samtools, BCFtools and HTSlib. Samtools for manipulating next generation sequencing data used for reading, writing, editing, indexing,viewing nucleotide alignments in SAM,BAM,CRAM format. BCFtools used for reading, writing BCF2,VCF, gVCF files and calling, filtering, summarising SNP and short indel sequence variants. HTSlib used for reading, writing high throughput sequencing data.

Software Python package that provides infrastructure to process data from high-throughput sequencing assays. While the main purpose of HTSeq is to allow you to write your own analysis scripts, customized to your needs, there are also a couple of stand-alone scripts for common tasks that can be used without any Python knowledge.

View all literature mentionsWeb server to identify statistically enriched pathways, diseases, and GO terms for a set of genes or proteins, using pathway, disease, and GO knowledge from multiple famous databases. It allows for both ID mapping and cross-species sequence similarity mapping. It then performs statistical tests to identify statistically significantly enriched pathways and diseases. KOBAS 2.0 incorporates knowledge across 1327 species from 5 pathway databases (KEGG PATHWAY, PID, BioCyc, Reactome and Panther) and 5 human disease databases (OMIM, KEGG DISEASE, FunDO, GAD and NHGRI GWAS Catalog). A standalone command line version is also available
View all literature mentionsA web-based tool and database for the gene ontology analysis. Its focus is on agricultural species and is user-friendly. The agriGO is designed to provide deep support to agricultural community in the realm of ontology analysis. Compared to other available GO analysis tools, unique advantages and features of agriGO are: # The agriGO especially focuses on agricultural species. It supports 45 species and 292 datatypes currently. And agriGO is designed as an user-friendly web server. # New tools including PAGE (Parametric Analysis of Gene set Enrichment), BLAST4ID (Transfer IDs by BLAST) and SEACOMPARE (Cross comparison of SEA) were developed. The arrival of these tools provides users with possibilities for data mining and systematic result exploration and will allow better data analysis and interpretation. # The exploratory capability and result visualization are enhanced. Results are provided in different formats: HTML tables, tabulated text files, hierarchical tree graphs, and flash bar graphs. # In agriGO, PAGE and SEACOMPARE can be used to carry out cross-comparisons of results derived from different data sets, which is very important when studying multiple groups of experiments, such as in time-course research.
