Transcriptome response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill identifies novel candidate genes for oil tolerance in natural populations of the foundation plant Spartina alterniflora. Transcriptome response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill identifies novel candidate genes for oil tolerance in natural populations of the foundation plant Spartina alterniflora

Genome-wide expression assay of S. alterniflora individuals from populations (4 from Louisiana, 2 from Mississippi) either exposed or unexposed to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill Overall design: 9 individuals at each populations were pooled randomly into 3 replicate RNA pools per population, then converted to cDNA and hybridized to a custom 1-color 4x44k Agilent microarray
