Project name: Rhizopus microsporus

Description: The goal of this study was to identify fungal gene expression changes during early stages of symbiosis establishment with its Burkholderia endosymbionts. Results: Leveraging this RNA-seq dataset we identified fungal genes utilized for symbiosis establishment with bacteria.Overall design: Methods: Host (ATCC 52813) and non-host (ATCC 11559) isolates of R. microsporus were growth alone or in the presence of Burkholderia endobacteria isolated from the host isolate. Fungal mycelia were harvested at a timepoint when the fungal colony has just begun to come into physical contact with the bacteria. Total RNA was extracted, rRNA depleted with RiboZero, and sequenced on the Illumina Hi-Seq 100bp-paired end reads platform
