Project description:Transcriptomic profiling of Homarus americanus after in vivo challenge with White Spot Syndrome Virus Two condition (control and infected) time series experiment; Biological replicates: 3 x 6 h control, 3 x 168 h control, 4 x 6 h infected, 4 x 12 h infected, 4 x 24 h infected, 4 x 48 h infected, 4 x 96 h infected, 4 x 168 h infected
Project description:Profiles of gene expression in hepatopancreas isolated from shrimp experimentally infected with White Spot Syndrome Virus were compared to those of un-infected controls Keywords: response to viral disease Two groups of eight shrimp were compared in terms of hepatopancreas gene expression, 40 hours after challenge with White Spot Syndrome Virus
Project description:In this study, the viral miRNAs from white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) were characterized in shrimp in vivo. On the basis of our previous study and small RNA sequencing in this study, a total of 89 putative WSSV miRNAs were identified. As revealed by miRNA microarray analysis, the expressions of viral miRNAs were tissue-specific in vivo. In this study, the viral miRNAs from white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) were characterized in shrimp in vivo. On the basis of our previous study and small RNA sequencing in this study, a total of 89 putative WSSV miRNAs were identified. As revealed by miRNA microarray analysis and Northern blots, the expressions of viral miRNAs were tissue-specific in vivo. Therefore, our study presented the first report on the in vivo molecular events of viral miRNA in the antiviral apoptosis.
