Integrative analysis of gene expression and alternative splicing in microalgae grown under heterotrophic condition.

ABSTRACT: Heterotrophic cultures are the most effective approach to overcome low growth rate challenge in the most commercial microalgae. However, the mechanism through which heterotrophic condition regulates algae metabolism are not completely clear. Alternative Splicing (AS) is a common posttranscriptional process by which transcriptome and proteome plasticity increases at different environmental conditions. To identify and characterize of AS events in Auxenochlorella protothecoides microalga grown in autotrophic and heterotrophic, RNA-Seq data were analysed. We found that AS increased with the transition from autotrophic to heterotrophic condition. 705 and 660 differentially expressed (DEG) and spliced (DAS) genes were identified for A.protothecoides was transferred from autotrophic to heterotrop
