Project description:In this project, we used liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry to sequence the intracellular granules of the deep-sea Alvinellidae worm Paralvinella hessleri. These granules are composed of biomineralized orpiment.
Project description:We provide the genome-wide methylome surveys of three species of deep-sea polychaete worms using Oxford Nanopore data: the siboglinids Paraescarpia echinospica and Ridgeia piscesae, and the alvinellid Paralvinella palmiformis. We characterised 5mCpG methylation in order to test hypotheses about the putative role of DNA methylation in these species.
