Abstract:

In 2010 blue crabs in the northern Gulf of Mexico were exposed to crude oil and chemical dispersants from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. To characterize the blue crab transcriptome and identify genes that respond to oil exposure we sequenced transcriptomes from hepatopancreas and gill tissues of juvenile blue crabs exposed to a water-accommodated fraction of surrogate Macondo crude oil and compared those to transcriptomes from an unexposed control group. Illumina sequencing provided 42.5 million paired-end reads for the control group (3 individuals) and 44.9 million paired-end reads for the treatment group (4 individuals). These raw-reads are provided in the Bioproject 283615 deposited into NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/?term=283615). This dataset is also submitted to GRIIDC as RFP III dataset R3.x175.000:0002.

Purpose:

This dataset was collected to evaluate the effects of oil spills on population connectivity and adaptation, and to predict the dynamics of population recovery

Data Parameters and Units:

isolate type and raw transcriptomic sequence reads. The dataset contains 4 files 1 per sequence read archive (SRA): juvenile blue crab gill control,juvenile blue crab hepatopancreas control, juvenile blue crab gill tissue after oil treatment, juvenile blue crab hepatopancreas tissue after oil treatment

Methods:

Treatment blue crabs were exposed to crude oil at a concentration of 2.5 ppm for 24 hours
