Differential Gene Expression in Olympia Oyster (Ostrea lurida) Gonadal Tissue Hannah Wear, Carolyn Friedman, and Steven Roberts School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of Washington Differential Gene Expression in Male compared to Female Background Transcriptomic data provides information which can aid in conservation of species with high vulnerability, such as the Olympia oyster. Research Objectives: Expand existing annotated O. lurida transcriptome resources and determine which genes have the greatest difference in expression between O. lurida gonad tissue. The DESeq analysis figure shows the fold change of male expression levels, where positive fold change indicates a gene expressed higher in male gonad tissue, and vice versa. DESeq analysis indicates 1789 genes expressed significantly higher in female gonad tissue and 495 genes expressed significantly higher in male gonad tissue. Red dots represent differentially expressed genes with a significant p-value (<0.05). Biological Processes Approach Enrichment of Genes and Pathways 1. Transcriptome Annotation: BLAST O. lurida contigs to known gene sequences using multiple gene and protein databases and assess results with gene ontology (GO) terms. 2. Expression Analysis: Use DESeq analysis to determine differentially expressed contigs from O.lurida male and female gonad tissue. Cellular Components Genes with significant differential expression from DESeq analyses were subjected to enrichment analysis using DAVID analysis and categorized by GO terms into three categories: biological processes, cellular components, and molecular function. Results also showed significant differential expression in the N-glycan biosynthesis pathway.
