Project description:The high-throughput RNA-seq was applied under both 26°C and 30°C heat stress in Apostichopus japonicus, which revealed characterization of gene expression at sub-lethal and lethal limit temperature. The results will help to better understand the characteristics of heat shock response in A. japonicus.
Project description:Sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus is a very important species for aquaculture, and its behavior and physiology can respond to the initial change in salinity. It is important to understand the molecular responses of A. japonicus when exposed to ambient changes in salinity In this study, RNA-seq provided a general overview of the gene expression profiles of the intestine of A. japonicus exposed to high salinity (SD40), normal salinity (SD30) and low salinity (SD20) environment.
