 Set
up an accessible database for
E. tribuloides transcriptome




Compare the quality of Eucidaris
tribuloides RNA sequence assemblies
Choose best assembly
Create sequence database
Create web interface to access database



Facilitate future E. tribuloides gene studies
Share findings on E. tribuloides transcriptome
Extensions after further research (i.e. more search
options, feedback, etc.)

 Strongylocentrotus
purpuratus



Only Echinoderm with fully sequenced genome
Evolutionarily closer to humans than many other
model organisms used in developmental biology
 Eucidaris

tribuloides
Distant relative of S. purpuratus (~275 my)
 Useful in comparative studies

Gene regulatory differences?
*Red arrows point to mesenchyme cells, which develop later in E.
tribuloides than other sea urchins; circles indicate location of blastopore

Contig – sequence of a set of contiguous overlapping
reads

Contigs from a single velvet run assumed to be unique and
non-overlapping
Information from http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~zerbino/velvet/
Assess quality of assembly using length
distribution: n50 and 90% complexity calculations
N50—length of shortest contig such that the summed length of
equal or longer contigs constitute at least 50% of the total length
of all contigs*
 90% complexity—similar, assuming unique contigs
Weighted length frequency of contigs

Weighted frequency (total # of
nucleotides in contigs of given length)

 Use


S. purpuratus proteome as reference
Map contigs to proteome
Using proteome “removes” silent mutation
differences between genes
S. purpuratus: CTC-ATG-TAC-TTC-GAG-GGA-TGC-TTG-AAG
GLEAN3_00299: LEU-MET-TYR-PHE-GLU-GLY-CYS-LEU-LYS
E. tribuloides: TTG-ATG-TAT-TTT-GAA-GGA-TGC-CTG-AAA

Record metadata : count of matches, annotated
matches, unique matches
