Comparative transcritpomics for Breviolum minutum SSB01 and Symbiodinium linucheae SSA01

This BioProject includes RNA-seq transcriptome data from two comparative studies involving Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates. Study 1: In hospite vs. in culture comparison for Breviolum minutum (SSB01) RNA-seq reads were generated from Breviolum minutum (SSB01) cells grown in laboratory culture (free-living) and from cells isolated directly from their cnidarian host Aiptasia (in hospite). This comparison aims to investigate transcriptional differences associated with symbiotic versus free-living states. Study 2: Heat stress response in Breviolum minutum (SSB01) and Symbiodinium linucheae (SSA01) RNA-Seq data were collected from cultures of B. minutum (SSB01) and S. linucheae (SSA01) exposed to elevated temperature under short-term and long-term heat stress conditions. The goal is to explore transcriptional responses to thermal stress across species and time scales. These datasets provide insights into symbiosis and thermal stress resilience in Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates relevant to coral reef health and climate change adaptation.
