Project description:This study examines the genomic effects of dieldrin in the hypothalamus of largemouth bass. Dieldrin is an insectide and organic pollutant. Largemouth bass fed diedrin for two months once a day ad libitium; 4 biological replicates for each group

Project description:We sequenced mRNA from 9 liver samples of juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) taken from different lead concentration exposure treatment fish and control fish to investigate the transcriptome and comparative expression profiles of largemouth bass liver undergoing lead exposure.

Project description:Intestinal microbe of largemouth bass
Project description:In this study, both male and female sexually regressed largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) (LMB) were fed a nominal concentration of 3.0 mg dieldrin/kg in feed for 60 days. A third group of male LMB was fed both 3.0 mg dieldrin/kg dieldrin and 0.7 mg E2/kg in feed. E2 was used as a model compound to elicit estrogenic effects via ER signaling.
Project description:White bass (Morone chrysops) are a popular sportfish throughout the southern United States, and one parent of the commercially successful hybrid striped bass (M. chrysops x M. saxatilis). Currently, white bass are cultured using diets formulated for other carnivorous fish, such as largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) or hybrid striped bass and contain a significant percentage of marine fish meal. Since there are no studies regarding the utilization of alternative proteins in this species, we evaluated global gene expression of white bass fed diets in which fish meal was partially or totally replaced by various combinations of soybean meal, poultry by-product meal, canola meal, soy protein concentrate, wheat gluten, or a commercial protein blend (Pro-Cision). Significant differential expressed genes and gene ontology of pairwise comparisons between control diet and each test diet are presented and discussed.
Project description:A novel custom microarray for largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) was designed from sequences obtained from a normalized cDNA library using the 454 Life Sciences GS-20 pyrosequencer. The GS-20 yielded in excess of 58 million bases of high-quality sequence. The sequence information was combined with 2,616 reads obtained by traditional suppressive subtractive hybridizations to derive a total of 31,391 unique sequences. Annotation and coding sequences were predicted for these transcripts where possible. 16,350 annotated transcripts were selected as target sequences for the design of the custom largemouth bass oligonucleotide microarray. The microarray was validated by examining the transcriptomic response in male largemouth bass exposed to 17 -oestradiol. Transcriptomic responses were assessed in liver and gonad, and indicated gene expression profiles typical of exposure to oestradiol. The results demonstrate the potential to rapidly create the tools necessary to assess large scale transcriptional responses in non-model species, paving the way for expanded impact of toxicogenomics in ecotoxicology. Keywords: E2 exposure, array validation
