Transcriptome profiling of the posterior salivary glands of the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis from the Portuguese West coast
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Transcriptomic profiling (RNA-Seq) of the posterior salivary glands of Sepia officinalis L. 1758 (Mollusca: Coleoidea), wild type, collected from the Portuguese West coast (2020).
Project description:In this study, we performed LC-QTOFMS-based metabolomics and RNA-seq based transcriptome analysis using seven tissues of C. officinalis.
Project description:Gene expression changes in human populations exposed to chronic low level radiation have important implications. There are few areas around the world where human population is exposed to elevated levels of natural background radiation. The high level natural radiation areas (HLNRAs) of Kerala coast in south west India is unique for its wide variation in the background radiation dose (<1.0mGy to 45mGy/year). The areas with a background radiation dose of ≤ 1.5mGy/year are considered as normal level natural radiation areas (NLNRA), whereas areas with > 1.5mGy/year are considered as HLNRA. We used microarray analysis to find out global changes in gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of individuals belonging to different HLNRA groups as compared to individuals from normal level natural radiation areas (NLNRA).
