Hydra magnipapillata Small RNAs

This project aims to sequence small RNAs from Hydra magnipapillata. Its main goal is to profile the PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) of Hydra magnipapillata. PIWI proteins and piRNAs are evolutionarily conserved and have been shown to be involved in transposon repression.本项目旨在对乳头水螅（Hydra magnipapillata）的小分子RNA（small RNAs）进行测序。其核心研究目标为解析该物种的PIWI互作RNA（PIWI-interacting RNAs，piRNAs）表达谱。PIWI蛋白（PIWI proteins）与piRNAs在进化上高度保守，且已被证实参与转座子抑制过程。
