Project description:To explore the mechanism underlying the phenotypic and genetic changes in the variants of SCSIO 43097, we conducted an RNA-seq analysis of the wild-type strain and the variants.
Project description:One of the most distinct features of Pseudoalteromonas sp. SCSIO 11900 is its ability to form a very robust pellicle than most Pseudoalteromonas strains. Thus we want to identify the genes essential for the pellicle formation of SCSIO 11900. We compared transcriptom profiles of planktonic cells, initial pellicle and mature pellicle of coral Pseudoalteromonas sp. SCSIO 11900 and revealed that some unique genes from horizontal gene transfer is involved in the pellicle formation of SCSIO 11900.
Project description:The aim of this project is to use transcriptome sequencing of parents and offspring of Leishmania tropica genetic crosses to establish the basic parameters of recombination in this species and to understand the extent and importance of gene conversion.
