In NelleV/timecoursedata: A data package for timecourse RNA-seq and microarray gene expression data sets

Overview

This package provides time course gene expression datasets. The data included in the package and its processing is described below.

Overview of the datasets included in timecoursedata:

object | description ------- | ------------ shoemaker2015 | microarray data from influenza-exposed mice varoquaux2019leaf | RNA-seq from leaf samples of S. bicolor exposed to drought varoquaux2019root | RNA-seq from root samples of S. bicolor exposed to drought

Data structure

Each datasets in this package are represented by:

• a matrix containing the gene expression data
• a data.frame containing the metadata associated with it

All datasets can also be loaded as SummarizedExperiment objects using the following functions:

name | matrix/data.frame | SummarizedExperiment ---- | ----------- | ------------------------- shoemaker2015 | data(shoemaker2015) | load_shoemaker2015() varoquaux2019leaf | data(varoquaux2019leaf) | load_varoquaux2019(sample_type="leaf") varoquaux2019root | data(varoquaux2019root) | load_varoquaux2019(sample_type="root")

The metadata contains at least the following information:

column | description ----- | ---------- row.names | name of the sample Timepoint | which timepoints this sample belongs to Group | which group this sample belongs to Replicate (optional) | which replicate this sample belongs to

An Ultrasensitive Mechanism Regulates Influenza Virus-Induced Inflammation

This dataset is a microarray time-course experiment, exposing mice to three different strains of influenza with varying doses. The authors of the experiment collected three replicates of lung tissue samples during 14 unevenly-spaced time-points after infection, resulting in a dataset of 209 samples.

Transcriptomic analysis of field-droughted sorghum from seedling to maturity reveals biotic and metabolic responses

This pairs of datasets (varoquaux2019leaf and varoquaux2019root) corresponds to transcriptomic data from respectively leaf and root samples of S. bicolor exposed to droughts (pre-flowering and post-flowering drougt) from seedling to maturity. Samples were collected weekly during 15 weeks. The data provided here is not normalized. Please note that the root and leaf samples were processed and sequenced as two separate batches. Any comparison between the two datasets should thus be done with care.

ncol(varoquaux2019leaf$data)

The metadata associated to these datasets are more complete than the shoemaker2015 one: it contains 69 fields in total. Amongst the most relevant are the following:

column | description ------ | ------------ Block | The block the plant was grown into. Week | Which week this sample was collected on. Genotype | RTx430 (pre-flowering tolerant) or BTx642 (stay-green postflowering resistant). Condition | Control, preflowering drought, or postflowering drought. Day | Which day this sample was collected on. Row| Which row this plant was grown on. No.plants.pooled | The number of unique plants collected to create this sample. Plate | Sequencing plate.

        abstract = {Understanding the molecular response of plants to drought is critical to efforts to improve agricultural yields under increasingly frequent droughts. We grew 2 cultivars of the naturally drought-tolerant food crop sorghum in the field under drought stress. We sequenced the mRNA from weekly samples of these plants, resulting in a molecular profile of drought response over the growing season. We find molecular differences in the 2 cultivars that help explain their differing tolerances to drought and evidence of a disruption in the plant{\textquoteright}s symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Our findings are of practical importance for agricultural breeding programs, while the resulting data are a resource for the plant and microbial communities for studying the dynamics of drought response.Drought is the most important environmental stress limiting crop yields. The C4 cereal sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a critical food, forage, and emerging bioenergy crop that is notably drought-tolerant. We conducted a large-scale field experiment, imposing preflowering and postflowering drought stress on 2 genotypes of sorghum across a tightly resolved time series, from plant emergence to postanthesis, resulting in a dataset of nearly 400 transcriptomes. We observed a fast and global transcriptomic response in leaf and root tissues with clear temporal patterns, including modulation of well-known drought pathways. We also identified genotypic differences in core photosynthesis and reactive oxygen species scavenging pathways, highlighting possible mechanisms of drought tolerance and of the delayed senescence, characteristic of the stay-green phenotype. Finally, we discovered a large-scale depletion in the expression of genes critical to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, with a corresponding drop in AM fungal mass in the plants{\textquoteright} roots.},
