Project description:This study aimed at identification of genetic regulations for desiccation tolerance in intertidal seaweed species Ulva lactuca most commonly experienced phenomenon of intertidal communities.
Project description:This study aimed at identification of genetic regulations for desiccation and submergence tolerance in intertidal seaweed species Ulva lactuca which arisies periodically due to tidal rhythms.
Project description:The Crown-of-Thorns starfish (COTS), Acanthaster planci, is a highly fecund predator of reef-building corals distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific. COTS population outbreaks cause substantial loss of coral cover, diminishing the integrity and resilience of the reef ecosystems thus increasing their susceptibility to climate change. We sequenced genomes of A. planci from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia (GBR) and Okinawa, Japan (OKI) to guide identification of species-specific peptide communication with potential applications in mitigation strategies. The genome-encoded proteins excreted and secreted into the surrounding seawater by COTS forming aggregations and by those escaping the predatory giant triton snail, Charonia tritonis, were identified LC-MS/MS.

Project description:Asterids is one of the major plant clades comprising of many commercially important medicinal species. One of the major concerns in medicinal plant industry is adulteration/contamination resulting from misidentification of herbal plants. This study reports the construction and validation of a microarray capable of fingerprinting medicinally important species from the Asterids clade.

Project description:We sequenced and assembled de novo the coding transcriptomes in four species of Notothenioid fish: Neopagetopsis ionah (Jonah’s ice fish), Pseudochaenichtys georgianus (South Georgia icefish), Harpagifer antarcticus (Antarctic spiny plunderfish) and Parachaenichthys charcoti (Charcot’s dragonfish). We sampled 1-4 individuals and 1-14 tissues (brain, white muscle, liver, head kidney, trunk kidney, skin, heart, red muscle, spleen, ovary, testis, whole blood, gill, red blood cells) in each species, depending on tissue availability.
