Project description:Agilent custom-made 8x60k 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray slides were used, covering unique sequences (21,093 annotated sequences and 4,299 unannotated sequences) of Sparus aurata transcriptomic data obtained from assembling of reads deposited in the NCBI SRA database corresponding to BioProject ID PRJNA391557, together with controls (8 transcripts of Sparus aurata plus Agilent controls). Two probes per sequence were used (in sense orientation for annotated sequences).
Project description:In Sparus aurata, seasonal temperature variations outside the normal thermal range, may trigger physiological responses leading to pathologies and death. In the present study two groups of wild sea bream were exposed for 21 days to two temperature regimes: 16 ± 0.3 °C (control group) and 6.8 ± 0.3 °C (cold-exposed group). Samples were collected during the acute phase (0, 6 and 24 hours after temperature drop) and upon chronic exposure (21 days).
