TLDR
This chapter introduces RNA-Seq and surveys its recent food and agriculture applications, ranging from differential gene expression, variants calling and detection, allele-specific expression, alternative splicing, alternative polyadenylation site usage, microRNA profiling, circular RNAs, single-cell RNA- Seq, metatranscriptomics, and systems biology.Abstract:
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is the leading, routine, high-throughput, and cost-effective next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach for mapping and quantifying transcriptomes, and determining the transcriptional structure. The transcriptome is a complete collection of transcripts found in a cell or tissue or organism at a given time point or specific developmental or environmental or physiological condition. The emergence and evolution of RNA-Seq chemistries have changed the landscape and the pace of transcriptome research in life sciences over a decade. This chapter introduces RNA-Seq and surveys its recent food and agriculture applications, ranging from differential gene expression, variants calling and detection, allele-specific expression, alternative splicing, alternative polyadenylation site usage, microRNA profiling, circular RNAs, single-cell RNA-Seq, metatranscriptomics, and systems biology. A few popular RNA-Seq databases and analysis tools are also presented for each application. We began to witness the broader impacts of RNA-Seq in addressing complex biological questions in food and agriculture.read more

Identification of microRNAs and their targets in four Gossypium species using RNA sequencing
Venkateswara R. Sripathi,Yongwook Choi,Zachary B. Gossett,David M. Stelly,Elica M. Moss,Christopher D. Town,Lloyd T. Walker,Govind C. Sharma,Agnes P. Chan +8 more
TL;DR: A unified study identifies 21 and 33 conserved miRNA families across four Gossypium species and three tissue libraries, respectively and identifies most of the identified targets were regulated by mRNA cleavage than by translational repression.
