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: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:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE38456: Characterizing gene regulatory networks in the brain of largemouth bass inhabiting rivers containing high levels of methyl-mercury (lab study) GSE38458: Characterizing gene regulatory networks in the brain of largemouth bass inhabiting rivers containing high levels of methyl-mercury (field study) Refer to individual Series

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
Project description:Transcriptomic comparison by total RNAseq of wild-type Clostridium butyricum CB1002 strain vs isogenic Δhbd mutant, grown in vitro in rich medium and isolated during exponential phase, to complement data obtained in animal model experiments.
