Project description:Genome wide rhythmic transcription under light/dark cycles is associated with sequential transcription of specific biological processes genes in Ostreococcus tauri. Transcriptional profiling of Ostreococcus tauri under light/dark cycles. In order to identify genes with a diurnal rhythm, cells entrained under 12:12 light/dark cycles were sampled every 3 hours for 27 hours with two overlapping time points at Time 9 (Light ON at Time 9; Light OFF at Time 21) in 3 independent experiments.
