Project description:The amoebozoan Acanthamoeba castellanii is an important cause of infectious blindness and a key evolutionary outgroup to humans and fungi. We conducted complementary proteomic and transcriptomic profiling of an Acanthamoeba encystation timecourse. For the transcriptomics, we used both short read RNA-seq (Illumina) and long-read MAS-ISO-seq (PacBio). The bulk RNA-seq transcriptomics are reported here.

Project description:A culture of Acanthamoeba castellanii cells was infected with mimivirus. At specified times after infection, infected cells aliquots were subjected to total RNA extraction. Cy3 labeled cDNA was hybridized on custom designed Agilent oligonucleotide tiling microarrays covering both strands of the mimivirus genome.
