Project description:The goal of this study was to identify transcriptional resonses to thermal acclimation in a highly eurythermal fish. Specifically, what are the genes necessary to maintain homostasis at different temperatures and do these genes underlie any known acclimatory responses? Gillichthys mirabilis (goby fish) were acclimated to 3 temperatures (9C, 19C and 28C) for one month. Gill tissue from 7-9 individuals were dissected and immediately flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted, reverse transcribed into cDNA, labeled with cy5 and hybridized against a common reference (cy3) on 2-color cDNA microarray developed for this species. Significant genes were determined by expression differences between groups (one-way ANOVA, FDR<0.05) .

Project description:The goal of this study was to identify transcriptional resonses to acute heat stress following differential acclimation in the highly eurythermal goby fish, Gillichthys mirabilis. G. mirabilis were acclimated to 3 temperatures (9C, 19C and 28C) for one month and then exposed to an acute heat ramp at 4C/hr and sampled during the timecourse. Gill tissues were dissected and immediately flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted, reverse transcribed into cDNA, labeled with cy5 and hybridized against a common reference (cy3) on 2-color cDNA microarray developed for this species. Significant genes were determined by expression differences between groups (one-way ANOVA, FDR<0.05) .

Project description:The goal of this study was to measure the effect of heat stress on the transcriptome of a temperate fish species - Gillichthys mirabilis. Keywords: Stress response
Project description:This study investigates changes in gene expression associated with adaptation to acute hyper- and hypoosmotic stress in Gillichthys mirabilis gill tissue. Gene expression data was captured as a time course (1, 2, 4, 12 hours past exposure) during the first 12 hours following abrupt transfer to osmotic stress media. We employed a custom made Gillichthys mirabilis cDNA microarray. A total of 39 arrays were used in this study: 12 hyperosmotic stress samples, 12 hypoosmotic stress samples, 12 control samples, and 3 time=0 samples. Three individuals were hybridized at each of the four time points (1, 2, 4, 12 hours past exposure) for experimental and control fish (giving a total of 12). All samples were hybridized against a common reference sample containing pooled cDNAs from several individuals.
