Transcriptome analysis of infection process of Heterosigma akashiwo virus strain 53. Heterosigma akashiwo

Heterosigma akashiwo virus (HaV) is a new member of Phycodnaviridae, that possesses large double stranded DNA genome. Comparative analysis of its genome and other large dsDNA viruses revealed that HaV is unique new member of the viral family. To understand its biological feature more in detail, we conducted transcriptome analysis of the viral infection process employing different types of RNAseq approaches.

赤潮异弯藻病毒（Heterosigma akashiwo virus, HaV）是藻类DNA病毒科（Phycodnaviridae）的全新成员，其基因组为大型双链DNA（dsDNA）。通过对其基因组与其他大型双链DNA病毒进行比较分析，研究证实HaV是该病毒科中独具特异性的新成员。为更深入地解析其生物学特征，本研究采用多种RNA测序（RNAseq）技术，针对病毒感染过程开展了转录组分析。
