MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNAs, involved in the regulation of many cellular processes in plants. Hundreds of miRNAs have been identified in cassava by various techniques, yet these identifications were constrained by a lack of miRNA templates and the narrow range of conditions in transcriptome study. In this research, we conducted genome-wide analysis identification, whereby miRNAs from cassava genome were thoroughly screened using bioinformatics approach independent of predefined templates and studied conditions. Our work provided a catalog of putative mature miRNAs and explored the landscape of miRNAome in cassava. These putative miRNAs were validated using statistical analysis as well as available cassava expression data. We showed that the crowded locations of cassava miRNAs are consistent with other plants and animals and hypothesized to have the same evolutionary origin. At least 10 conserved miRNAs were identified in cassava based on the comparative study of miRNA conservation. Finally, investigation of miRNAs and target gene relationships enabled us to envisage the complexities of cellular regulatory systems modulated at posttranscriptional level.

SAMTOOLS (tool)

RRID:SCR_002105

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.

Stampy (tool)

RRID:SCR_005504

A software package for the mapping of short reads from illumina sequencing machines onto a reference genome. It''s recommended for most workflows, including those for genomic resequencing, RNA-Seq and Chip-seq. Stampy excels in the mapping of reads containing that contain sequence variation relative to the reference, in particular for those containing insertions or deletions. It can map reads from a highly divergent species to a reference genome for instance. Stampy achieves high sensitivity and speed by using a fast hashing algorithm and a detailed statistical model. Stampy has the following features: * Maps single, paired-end and mate pair Illumina reads to a reference genome * Fast: about 20 Gbase per hour in hybrid mode (using BWA) * Low memory footprint: 2.7 Gb shared memory for a 3Gbase genome * High sensitivity for indels and divergent reads, up to 10-15% * Low mapping bias for reads with SNPs * Well calibrated mapping quality scores * Input: Fastq and Fasta; gzipped or plain * Output: SAM, Maq''s map file * Optionally calculates per-base alignment posteriors * Optionally processes part of the input * Handles reads of up to 4500 bases

psRNATarget (tool)

RRID:SCR_013321

A plant small RNA target analysis server which features two important analysis functions: 1) reverse complementary matching between miRNA and target transcript using a proven scoring schema, and 2) target site accessibility evaluation by calculating unpaired energy (UPE) required to ?open? secondary structure around miRNA?s target site on mRNA. PsRNATarget incorporates recent discoveries in plant miRNA target recognition, e.g. it distinguishes translational and post-transcriptional inhibition, and it reports the number of miRNA/target site pairs that may affect miRNA binding activity to target transcript. PsRNATarget is designed for high-throughput analysis of next-generation data with an efficient distributed computing back-end pipeline that runs on a Linux cluster. The server front-end integrates three simplified user-friendly interfaces to accept user-submitted or preloaded miRNAs and transcript sequences; and outputs a comprehensive list of miRNA / target pairs along with the online tools for batch downloading, key word searching and results sorting.
