Expression profiling and cross-species RNA interference (RNAi) of desiccation-induced transcripts in the anhydrobiotic nematode Aphelenchus avenae.

Some organisms can survive extreme desiccation by entering a state of suspended animation known as anhydrobiosis. The free-living mycophagous nematode Aphelenchus avenae can be induced to enter anhydrobiosis by pre-exposure to moderate reductions in relative humidity (RH) prior to extreme desiccation. This preconditioning phase is thought to allow modification of the transcriptome by activation of genes required for desiccation tolerance.

CAP3 Sequence Assembly Program (tool)

RRID:SCR_007250

This form allows you to assemble a set of contiguous sequences (contigs) with the CAP3 program. The CAP3 program has a capability to clip 5'' and 3'' low-quality regions of reads. It uses base quality values in computation of overlaps between reads, construction of multiple sequence alignments of reads, and generation of consensus sequences. The program also uses forward-reverse constraints to correct assembly errors and link contigs. Results of CAP3 on four BAC data sets are presented. The performance of CAP3 was compared with that of PHRAP on a number of BAC data sets. PHRAP often produces longer contigs than CAP3 whereas CAP3 often produces fewer errors in consensus sequences than PHRAP. It is easier to construct scaffolds with CAP3 than with PHRAP on low-pass data with forward-reverse constraints. Sponsors: This project was supported by NIH Grant R01HG01502-02 from NHGRI. Keywords: CAP3, Program, Form, Computation, DNA, Dataset, Database, Program,

BLAST Assembled RefSeq Genomes (tool)

RRID:SCR_008420

This portal takes you to the NCBI''s BLAST Assembled RefSeq Genomes. The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families. Sponsors: This resource is supported by the National Institutes of Health. Keywords: BLAST, Genome, Search engine, Sequence, Biological, Local, Alignment, Nucleotide, Protein, Program, Database, Stastical, Functional, Evolutionaary, Gene,
