Abstract
This is the first report of a transcriptome assembly of a newly discovered a new Protocruzia species sampled from the under-sampled area near the Mariana Trench. We sequenced the transcriptome of P. marianaensis using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform. De novo assembly and analysis of the coding regions predicted 36,116 unigenes, 74.91 % of which was annotated by public databases. The transcriptome of P. marianaensis will be a valuable resource in studying the ecological and biological characteristics of this new species, which is the first Protocruzia species in deep sea. These data can also help to understand protozoa survival mechanisms in deep-sea habitats and provide essential biological material for investigating unique life phenomena and processes in the deep ocean.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes papers on all functional and evolutionary aspects of genes, chromatin, chromosomes and (meta)genomes of marine (and freshwater) organisms. It deals with new genome-enabled insights into the broader framework of environmental science. Topics within the scope of this journal include:
• Population genomics and ecology
• Evolutionary and developmental genomics
• Comparative genomics
• Metagenomics
• Environmental genomics
• Systems biology
More specific topics include: geographic and phylogenomic characterization of aquatic organisms, metabolic capacities and pathways of organisms and communities, biogeochemical cycles, genomics and integrative approaches applied to microbial ecology including (meta)transcriptomics and (meta)proteomics, tracking of infectious diseases, environmental stress, global climate change and ecosystem modelling.
