Furthermore, meta-analyses of existing datasets can also provide a lower-cost means to formulating new hypotheses, specifically if researchers take advantage of the FAIR principles (findability, accessibility...

... task-related transcriptomic profiles in the brain and abdominal fat body that are related to multiple regulatory factors including juvenile hormone (JH) and queen mandibular pheromone (QMP). A prominent physiological feature associated with behavioral maturation is a loss of abdominal lipid mass...

... responses of C. virginica acclimated to low salinity using a common garden experiment with four populations exposed to two salinities. We used three transcriptomic analyses (edgeR, PERMANOVA and WGCNA) combined with physiology data to identify the effect of genotype (population), environment (salinity...

... natural microbiomes. However, the mechanisms behind these effects are unclear. Here, we compared gene expression profiles of the tadpole gut transcriptome, and tadpole gut microbial metagenome, between colonized and depleted tadpoles under cool or warm conditions. Our goal was to identify differences...

... to juvenile and adult life on the reef. Some species also change their lifestyle over this period and become nocturnal. While these ecological transitions are well documented, little is known about the ontogeny of nocturnal reef fish vision. Here, we used transcriptomics to investigate visual development...

...Alex S. Torson; Yun-wei Dong; Brent J. Sinclair ‘Omics’ methods, such as transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics or metabolomics, yield simultaneous measurements of many related molecules in a sample. These approaches have opened new opportunities to generate and test hypotheses about...

... transcriptomic responses to temperature; more differentially expressed genes were upregulated in the field compared with lab larvae. Developmental temperature fluctuations alone had minimal effects on long-term gene expression patterns, with the exception of a somewhat elevated stress response in the lab...

..., and on transcriptome analysis, C. monoculus exhibits extreme intraspecific variation in the use of vitamin A 1 /A 2 chromophore in their photoreceptors. Fish living in turbid water had higher proportions of vitamin A 2 , shifting sensitivities to longer wavelengths, than fish living in clear water. Furthermore, we...

Consistent with having a lower temperature tolerance, longfin smelt exhibited a pronounced cellular stress response, with an upregulation of heat shock proteins, after...

To explore this, we performed transcriptomic profiling of a neurosecretory region of the brain, the pars intercerebralis (PI) . We first compared PI transcriptional profiles...
