Project description:Transcriptional profiling of purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) larvae cultured under three different seawater CO2 concentrations 400, 800, 1200 µatm. The goal was to determine the effects of CO2, an important climate change variable, on global gene expression
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) larvae cultured under three different seawater CO2 concentrations 400, 800, 1200 M-BM-5atm. The goal was to determine the effects of CO2, an important climate change variable, on global gene expression Larvae were cultured under three different seawater CO2 concentrations 400, 800, 1200 M-BM-5atm, each with four replicate cultures, and sampled at two developmental stages (gastrula and pluteus)
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) larvae cultured under four different seawater conditions: (i)13°C/400 µatm pCO2, (ii)13°C/1100 µatm pCO2, (iii)18°C/400 µatm pCO2 (iv)18°C/1100 µatm pCO2. The goal was to determine the effects of temperature and CO2, both important climate change variables, on gene expression
Project description:we generated new reference genome assemblies for two species belonging to two different echinoderm classes: the bat sea star Patiria miniata and the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
