Project description:Investigation of the genetic diversity of Emiliania huxleyi, genomic DNA from 15 different strains were compared with the genomic DNA of the sequenced E. huxleyi strain CCMP1516. Gephyrocapsa oceanica and Isochrysis galbana as phylogenetic closely related taxa were used as out-groups.
Project description:Gene expression analysis of Emiliania huxleyi after 6, 12 and 24 hours of viral infection infected with the virus EhV-86 in comparison to an unifected culture.
Project description:We performed single-cell transcriptome analysis (using MARS-seq) for the worldwide-distributed microalga Emiliania huxleyi during infection by its specific coccolithovirus. Our results provide insights into the expression programs and infection strategies of the large virus, and highlight the potential of single-cell RNA-sequencing for microbial eukaryotes in the lab and in the field.
