Outline of Final Research Achievements

In inshore hagfish, Eptatretus burgeri, it is known that chromosome elimination occurs during early embryogenesis, and shown that the eliminated chromosomes are mosaics of highly repetitive, germline-restricted DNA families. In this study, using the next-generation sequencing technology, whole DNA sequences of somatic and germline genomes in this specie were determined. The current assembly constructed 94,650 scaffolds (>500bp) in somatic, and 83,538 scaffolds (>500bp) in germline genomes, subsequently the genome size of somatic and germline genomes were estimated to be 1.77 Gb and 2.09 Gb, from the k-mer (k=40) analysis, indicating the similar values calculated by previous studies. At present, the germline-restricted sequences, namely the eliminated genome is determined and investigated by the mapping of RNA-seq data and annotated the transcriptional regions.
