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.
