Synchronous cell cycle progression in the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana

To identify the molecular components involved in diatom cell division, global transcript level changes were monitored over the silicon-synchronized cell cycle the model diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana. Silicon resupplementation T. psuedonana culture after 24 hour silicon starvation-induced cell cycle arrest. 9 timepoints taken every hour monitoring synchronous cell cycle progression in biological duplicate
