Project description:Three adult individuals of the Octopus vulgaris were collected from the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy). For each animal, total RNA was isolated from the supra- (SEM), sub- (SUB) esophageal masses, optic lobes (OL) and the arms (ARM). The RNA-sequencing has been performed using Illumina technology.
Project description:This work investigates the comparison of protein profiles in the Octopus vulgaris skin mucus of wild, aquarium-maintained, and senescent specimens to identify potential welfare biomarkers, using tandem mass tag (TMT) in an Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid mass spectrometer to create a reference dataset from octopus skin mucus obtained in different conditions.
