De novo transcriptome assembly of a lipoxygenase knock-down strain in the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia arenysensis

We generated knock-down mutants for the LOX gene of the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia arenysensis to alter the synthesis of oxylipins and functionally investigate the mechanism of action of these metabolites in diatoms. Here, we present the functional classification of the transcript sequences obtained from the de novo assembly of RNA-seq data obtained both from the silenced and wild-type P. arenysensis strains.
