Project description:To understand Babesia gene regulation during tick and mammalian host infection, we performed high throughput RNA-sequencing using samples collected from calves and Rhipicephalus microplus ticks infected with Babesia bigemina. We evaluated gene expression differences between B. bigemina kinetes and blood-stage parasites
Project description:Expression profile of wild-type S. ovata and methanol-adapted strain grown autotrophically with H2 as the source of electron. Illumina RNA-Seq of total RNA extracted from a strain of S. ovata evolved by adaptive laboratory evolution to grow faster with methanol 2% as the sole susbtrate and from the wild type. The adapted strain was transfer 18 times on methanol 2%. Total RNA was extracted from both strains growing with H2/CO2.
