Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Candida tenuis NRRL Y-1498 grown aerobically in xylose, compared to the same strain grown aerobically in glucose. A six array study using total RNA recovered from three separate cultures of Candida tenuis NRRL Y-1498 grown in glucose and three separate cultures of Candida tenuis NRRL Y-1498 grown in xylose. Each array measures the expression level of 363,196 probes (average probe length 53.1 +/- 3.8 nt) tiled across the Candida tenuis NRRL Y-1498 genome with a median spacing distance of 24 nt. During data processing, probes are filtered to include only those probes corresponding to annotated protein-coding genes.

Project description:Two known settlement/metamorphosis inducing stimuli (crustose coralline algae, and ethanolic extract of crustose coralline algae) and one stimulus which just induces metamorphosis (LWamide) were used to stimulate competent planula larvae of the coral Acropora millepora. Samples were taken 0.5h, 4h and 12h post induction isolate the genes controlling settlement and metamorphosis in this coral.
