Project description:The goal of this study was to measure the effect of heat stress on the transcriptome of a temperate fish species - Gillichthys mirabilis. Keywords: Stress response
Project description:This study investigates changes in gene expression associated with adaptation to acute hyper- and hypoosmotic stress in Gillichthys mirabilis gill tissue. Gene expression data was captured as a time course (1, 2, 4, 12 hours past exposure) during the first 12 hours following abrupt transfer to osmotic stress media.

Gene expression data was captured as a time course (1, 2, 4, 12 hours past exposure) during the first 12 hours following abrupt transfer to osmotic stress media. We employed a custom made Gillichthys mirabilis cDNA microarray. A total of 39 arrays were used in this study: 12 hyperosmotic stress samples, 12 hypoosmotic stress samples, 12 control samples, and 3 time=0 samples. Three individuals were hybridized at each of the four time points (1, 2, 4, 12 hours past exposure) for experimental and control fish (giving a total of 12). All samples were hybridized against a common reference sample containing pooled cDNAs from several individuals.
Project description:The goal of this study was to identify transcriptional resonses to acute heat stress following differential acclimation in the highly eurythermal goby fish, Gillichthys mirabilis. G. mirabilis were acclimated to 3 temperatures (9C, 19C and 28C) for one month and then exposed to an acute heat ramp at 4C/hr and sampled during the timecourse. Gill tissues were dissected and immediately flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted, reverse transcribed into cDNA, labeled with cy5 and hybridized against a common reference (cy3) on 2-color cDNA microarray developed for this species. Significant genes were determined by expression differences between groups (one-way ANOVA, FDR<0.05) .
