BackgroundThe speciesBrassica rapa(2n=20, AA) is an important vegetable and oilseed crop, and serves as an excellent model for genomic and evolutionary research inBrassicaspecies. With the availability of whole genome sequence ofB. rapa, it is essential to further determine the activity of all functional elements of theB. rapagenome and explore the transcriptome on a genome-wide scale. Here, RNA-seq data was employed to provide a genome-wide transcriptional landscape and characterization of the annotated and novel transcripts and alternative splicing events across tissues.ResultsRNA-seq reads were generated using the Illumina platform from six different tissues (root, stem, leaf, flower, silique and callus) of theB. rapaaccession Chiifu-401-42, the same line used for whole genome sequencing. First, these data detected the widespread transcription of theB. rapagenome, leading to the identification of numerous novel transcripts and definition of 5'/3' UTRs of known genes. Second, 78.8% of the total annotated genes were detected as expressed and 45.8% were constitutively expressed across all tissues. We further defined several groups of genes: housekeeping genes, tissue-specific expressed genes and co-expressed genes across tissues, which will serve as a valuable repository for future crop functional genomics research. Third, alternative splicing (AS) is estimated to occur in more than 29.4% of intron-containingB. rapagenes, and 65% of them were commonly detected in more than two tissues. Interestingly, genes with high rate of AS were over-represented in GO categories relating to transcriptional regulation and signal transduction, suggesting potential importance of AS for playing regulatory role in these genes. Further, we observed that intron retention (IR) is predominant in the AS events and seems to preferentially occurred in genes with short introns.ConclusionsThe high-resolution RNA-seq analysis provides a global transcriptional landscape as a complement to theB. rapagenome sequence, which will advance our understanding of the dynamics and complexity of theB. rapatranscriptome. The atlas of gene expression in different tissues will be useful for accelerating research on functional genomics and genome evolution inBrassicaspecies.
