Annotation of Ostrea lurida transcriptome: analysis of gonads in control and ocean acidification conditions

For my project, I analyzed four different Olympic oyster (Ostrea lurida) gonad nucleotide sequences with accompanying quality scores (.fastq files). These sequences are from male and female specimens, exposed to either control or ocean acidification conditions. I also had a previously assembled O. lurida transcriptome for comparison.

My goal was to annotate the O.lurida transcriptome using the gonad nucleotide information, and understand how ocean acidification conditions affect differential expression in O. lurida gonads.

Objectives

1. Identify differential expression between samples exposed to control and ocean acidification conditions
2. Characterize gene ontology information associated with differential gene expression
3. Understand basic bioninformatic analysis techniques (FastQC, MultiQC, BLAST, etc.)
4. Create reproducible protocols for anlaysis
5. Produce a written report of findings

Project Timeline

Week 3:

• Run FastQC analysis

Week 4:

• Run MultiQC analysis
• Begin to trim sequences to improve quality (in progress as of 2016-11-04, completion date TBD)

Week 5-6:

• Run BLAST against specialized transcriptome from Uniprot database
• Run Kallisto for count data

Week 7:

• Analyze data files for differential expression using DESeq2

Week 8

• Rerun kallisto quant and DESeq2 with new values

Week 9

• Gene enrichment analysis

Week 10

• Interpret gene enrichment output from DAVID
