Project description:Copepods from the species Acartia tonsa, like other 41 members of Calanoida order, have the unique ability to induce quiescence in different stages during their lifetime if adverse environmental conditions occur. Here I assembled a de novo transcriptome for subitaneous and quiescent embryonic development to reconstruct the molecular processes occurring in the embryogenesis. This dataset provides a better understanding of A. tonsa embryonic development and the molecular mechanisms underlying quiescence.
Project description:The skin commensal yeast Malassezia is associated with several skin disorders. To establish a reference resource, we sought to determine the complete genome sequence of Malassezia sympodialis and identify its protein-coding genes. A novel genome annotation workflow combining RNA sequencing, proteomics, and manual curation was developed to determine gene structures with high accuracy.
