Project description:This dataset contains the transcriptome sequence of Zostera marina as produced by Illumina sequencing. Four tissues were sequenced, female flower in late and early stages of development, the male flower, the root and leaf tissue.
Project description:Moritella viscosa is a bacterial pathogen causing winter-ulcer disease in Atlantic salmon. The lesions on affected fish lead to increased mortality, decreased fish welfare, and inferior meat quality in farmed salmon. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation by guiding the miRNA induced silencing complex to specific mRNA transcripts (target genes). The goal of this study was to identify miRNAs responding to Moritella viscosa in salmon by investigating miRNA expression in head-kidney and the muscle/skin from lesion sites caused by the pathogen. Protein coding gene expression was investigated by microarray analysis in the same materials.
Project description:we used high-throughput Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx (GAIIx) technology to sequence the small RNA transcriptomes of the mangrove species, Avicennia marina. Based on sequence similarity or the secondary structure of precursors, we have identified 193 conserved miRNAs and 26 novel miRNAs in the small RNA transcriptome of Avicennia marina.
Project description:Bacterial pathogen Moritella viscosa, the causative agent of winter ulcer, causes heavy losses in Atlantic salmon aquaculture. The study compared responses in salmon reared under normal condition (G100) and fish exposed to hypoxia - 60% saturation of dissolved oxygen - at early life (G60). G60 showed lower survival after challenge. Analyses were performed in the most affected tissues: skin and spleen
