Project description:Proteomic data of 8 groups of samples from four strains of Phaeodactylum Tricornutum, which were respectively control group and grazing stress group. Four strains of P. tricornutum (CCAP 1052/1A, CCAP 1052/1B, CCAP 1055/3, CCAP 1055/7) were provided by Génomique, Environnementale et Evolutive Section 3 CNRS UMR8197, Institut de Biologie de l'ENS (IBENS).
Project description:Loss of DNA methylation is traditionally associated with transcriptional up-regulation of transposable elements. Here we describe for the first time expression changes upon loss of DNA methylation in diatoms using Phaeodactylum tricornutum as a model species. The loss of DNA methylation was obtained by generation of DNMT5 KOs, a divergent DNMT with SNF-like domains. Expression analysis confirm the loss of DNA methylation is associated with de-repression of transposable elements in Phaeodactylum tricornutum with indirect effects on protein coding genes.
Project description:We have done next generation sequencing of optically thin, exponentialy growing Phaeodactylum tricornutum cultures grown with and without nitrogen source to improve our undestanding of the pathways regulation under conditions that promote lipid accumulation (N-starvation).
