Gene expression changes in Paxillus involutus- Betula pendula ectomycorrhizal roots compared to Paxillus involutus mycelium patches

Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Paxillus involutus ectomycorrhizal roots compared to mycelium patches . Mycorrhizal roots were harvested after 4 weeks, pooled and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 2X100bp were generated and aligned to Paxillus involutus (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Paxin1/Paxin1.home.html) using CLC Genomics Workbench 6. mRNA profiles from Paxillus involutus ectomycorrhizal roots and mycelium patches were generated by paired-end (2x100bp) Illumina HiSeq2000 sequencing. Two biological replicates were sequenced for mycorrhizal and mycelium samples.
