Differentially expressed genes in polyp of moon jelly Aurelia aurita under acidified seawater condition

Abstract

The transcriptional impact of ocean acidification in polyp of Aurelia aurita was evaluated using an oligo-microarray which contains oligonucleotide probes of 29,524 unigenes of A. aurita. The polyps were incubated at pH 7.5 condition for 6, 24, and 48 h to predict the biological responses to the acidified condition at transcription level. As the results, we identified 34 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in 6 h exposed group, 20 DEGs in 24 h exposed group, and 107 DEGs in 48 h exposed group. The metabolic and physiological changes will be predicted and discussed after considering the functional aspects of these DEGs. 24, and 48 h to predict the biological responses to the acidified condition at transcription level.
