Project description:Variation in transciptomic patterns between shallow and mesophotic corals was assessed using tag-based RNA-Seq (Tag-Seq) through analysis of natural populations across four regions in the Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, colonies were fate-tracked and repeatedly sampled to assess changes in gene expression through time in a transplant experiment between shallow and mesophotic depth zones at West and East Flower Garden Banks. This repository contains the raw .fastq.gz files for all sequenced samples.
Project description:This dataset represents woody plants recorded in 16 1-ha forest plots in an elevational gradient in Madidi National Park, Bolivia, ranging from lowland Amazonian moist forest and lowland dry forest to the treeline of the Andean Altiplano. This work was carried out by David Henderson and Jonathan Myers (Washington University in St. Louis), Sebastian Tello (Missouri Botanical Garden and University of Missouri, St. Louis), and Brian Sedio (University of Texas at Austin and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute).
Project description:Ammonia-oxidizing archaeal (AOA) amoA diversity and relative abundance in Gulf of Mexico sediments (0-2 cm) were investigated using a functional gene microarray; a two color array with a universal internal standard
