Project description:Analysis of the genes differentially expressed by male and female copepods, i.e. "sex-biased" genes; with an interest in sex-determination, sex-development, sex-differentiation, and the differentially expressed pathways.
Project description:The experiment was designed to study the transcriptomic response of the centric diatom Skeletonema marinoi to the presence of cues from the grazer Calanus finmarchicus. Samples were collected in triplicate after 65 and 89 hours of exposure of diatom cells to the copepods. Control samples with no copepods were collected at the same time points.
