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.
