Project description:Metagenome data from soil samples were collected at 0 to 10cm deep from 2 avocado orchards in Channybearup, Western Australia, in 2024. Amplicon sequence variant (ASV) tables were constructed based on the DADA2 pipeline with default parameters.
Project description:We sequenced complementary DNA created from white muscle messenger RNA in juvenile blue rockfish and performed a differential gene expression analysis to describe the fishes' responses to the global change-related stressors of high pCO2 (low pH) and hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen, DO). To examine gene expression over ecologically realistic timescales that emulate the duration of spring upwelling events in the California Current ecosystem, we collected and sequenced samples after 12 h, 24 h and two weeks of exposure to four treatments: control (pH≈8.0, pCO2≈400μatm, DO≈8 mg/L), high pCO2 (pH≈7.6, pCO2≈1200μatm, DO≈8 mg/L), hypoxic (pH≈8.0, pCO2≈400μatm, DO≈4 mg/L), and combined high pCO2/hypoxic (pH≈7.6, pCO2≈1200μatm, DO≈4 mg/L).
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
