Gene expression changes in Piloderma croceum-Quercus robur ectomycorrhizal roots compared to Piloderma croceum free-living mycelium. Piloderma croceum

Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Piloderma croceum ectomycorrhizal roots compared to free-living mycelium . Mycorrhizal roots were harvested after 8 weeks, pooled and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 2X100bp were generated and aligned to Piloderma croceum (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Pilcr1/Pilcr1.home.html) using CLC Genomics Workbench 6. Overall design: mRNA profiles from Piloderma croceum ectomycorrhizal roots and free-living mycelium were generated by paired-end (2x100bp) Illumina HiSeq2000 sequencing. Three biological replicates were sequenced for mycorrhizal and mycelium samples.
