RNA-seq of the diatom Skeletonema marinoi grown in the presence or absence of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus. RNA-seq of the diatom Skeletonema marinoi grown in the presence or absence of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus

The experiment was designed to study the transcriptomic response of the centric diatom Skeletonema marinoi to the presence of cues from the grazer Calanus finmarchicus. Samples were collected in triplicate after 65 and 89 hours of exposure of diatom cells to the copepods. Control samples with no copepods were collected at the same time points.
