Data from: Gene expression is more strongly associated with behavioural specialisation than with age or fertility in ant workers
2018
The ecological success of social insects is based on division of labour, not only between queens and workers, but also among workers. Whether a worker tends the brood or forages is influenced by age, fertility and nutritional status, with brood carers being younger, more fecund and more corpulent. Here, we experimentally disentangle behavioural specialisation from age and fertility in Temnothorax longispinosus ant workers and analyse how these parameters are linked to whole-body gene expression. A total of 3644 genes were associated with behavioural specialisation which is ten times more than associated with age and 50 times more than associated with fertility. Brood carers were characteriz…
An extended catalogue of ncRNAs in Streptomyces coelicolor reporting abundant tmRNA, RNase-P RNA and RNA fragments derived from pre-ribosomal RNA lea…
2022
Streptomyces coelicolor is a model organism for studying streptomycetes. This genus possesses relevant medical and economical roles, because it produces many biologically active metabolites of pharmaceutical interest, including the majority of commercialized antibiotics. In this bioinformatic study, the transcriptome of S. coelicolor has been analyzed to identify novel RNA species and quantify the expression of both annotated and novel transcripts in solid and liquid growth medium cultures at different times. The major characteristics disclosed in this study are: (i) the diffuse antisense transcription; (ii) the great abundance of transfer-messenger RNAs (tmRNA); (iii) the abundance of rnpB…
Transcriptomic analysis of host-pathogen relationship in Vibrio vulnificus
2020
Vibrio vulnificus es un patógeno bacteriano que habita en ecosistemas costeros de salinidades intermedias localizados en zonas del planeta templadas y cálidas. Esta especie es una de las más sensibles al calentamiento global habiendo experimentado una expansión en su distribución geográfica hacia zonas costeras de aguas frías como las que rodean países tan próximos al círculo polar como como Noruega y Groenlandia, de las que se aísla en las épocas cálidas del año. En su medio natural la bacteria puede encontrarse en un estado metabólico inactivo, conocido como estado VBNC (viable but not culturable) que es inducido en circunstancias ambientales adversas (temperaturas por debajo de 10ºC, sal…
