Sample GSM847461 Query DataSets for GSM847461
Status Public on Apr 25, 2012
Title Asexual Irradiated
Sample type SRA
 
Source name Asexual strain of S. mediterranea, Irradiated
Organism Schmidtea mediterranea
Characteristics strain: Asexual
treatment: Irradiated
cell type: N/A
Treatment protocol Sexual and asexual animals were gamma-irradiated with a cesium source with 90 Gy treatments. D. tigrina animals were ordered from Carolina Biological and RNA was isolated immediately upon arrival.
Growth protocol Sexual and asexual S. mediterranea animals were maintained at 22°C in ddH2O supplemented with 1.6 mM NaCl, 1.0 mM CaCl2, 1.0 mM MgSO4, 0.1 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM KCl, 1.2 mM NaHCO3 and fed homogenized organic beef liver. FACS purification of X1, X2 and Xins cells was carried out as follows. Briefly, planarians were cut into small pieces with a sterile scalpel on ice in cold calcium, magnesium-free medium (CMF) (15 mM HEPES, 400 mg/L NaH2PO4, 800 mg/L NaCl, 1200 mg/L KCl, 800 mg/L NaHCO3, 240 mg/L glucose at pH 7.3) and then washed twice with CMF. The fragments were then soaked in CMF containing 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin (GIBCO) and 1% BSA (Fisher Scientific) at 4°C for 18 hours to maximize penetration of the enzyme with little trypsin activity. The fragments were then rocked for 20 minutes at 20°C and completely dissociated into single cells by gentle pipetting. The cell mixture was then sequentially filtered through 40-µm and 20-µm nylon filters (Millipore). Cells were collected by centrifugation, resuspended in fresh CMF supplemented with 1% BSA and 0.5 mg/mL Calcein AM (Sigma), and incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes. Cells were collected and resuspended in CMF supplemented with 1% BSA, 18 mg/mL Hoechst 3342 (Sigma), and 2 mg/mL propidium iodide (Sigma). The samples were then analyzed with a LSR II flow cytometer (Becton-Dickinson).
Extracted molecule total RNA
Extraction protocol Total RNA was isolated from sexual and asexual strains of S. mediterranea before and after irradiation using Trizol. Total RNA (5ug) was used to prepare the transcriptome library using the mRNA-seq sample library preparation kit (Illumina) following the manufacturers instructions. Briefly, mRNA was purified using magnetic oligo-dT beads and fragmented. First strand synthesis of cDNA was done using SuperscriptII reverse transcriptase followed by RNase H treatment and second strand cDNA synthesis was performed using DNAPol1. Paired end adaptors (Illumina) were ligated to 5’ and 3’ ends of DNA fragments followed by PCR amplification using adaptor specific primers. PCR amplified products of 300 bp were gel purified, quantitated by Nanodrop and Bioanalyzer and sequenced on an Illumina GAIIx.

Description Asexual strain of S. mediterranea, Irradiated
Data processing ASexIR_all.sam; genome build: S. mediterranea, pseudochromosomes
ASexIR.bedGraph; genome build: S. mediterranea, pseudochromosomes
The S. mediterranea draft genome assembly (version 3.1) consists of ~900 Mb distributed over 43,294 supercontigs (http://genome.wustl.edu/genomes/view/schmidtea_mediterranea/). To facilitate the analysis the supercontigs were sorted by decreasing size and concatenated into nine pseudochromosomes of ~100 Mbp each with 100 'N' residues separating each contig. These pseudochromosomes are contained in the Smed_pseudochromosomes.fasta file. Reads were aligned to the pseudochromosomes using bowtie-0.12.1 and tophat-1.1.1 using default parameters. To assemble the D. tigrina transcript contigs, a total of 23,532,916 D. tigrina reads of 40 bp were used with Velvet 0.3 using k=15. This resulted in 14,514 contigs with an average length of 140 bp and an average coverage of 8.7X.
