A transcriptomics dataset from figshare analyzing gene expression in Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) fed different diets. The 10.0 KB Excel file contains results from a study comparing oysters fed cultured diatoms versus terrestrial leaves, focusing on cellulase and fatty acid assimilation enzyme expression. The dataset was authored by Manabu W.L. Tanimura and last updated on April 29, 2026.
Use Cases
- Compare expression levels of GHF9 endoglucanase and other glycoside hydrolase families between diet groups.
- Analyze the stability of xylanase expression as suggested by the description.
- Investigate the upregulation of β-oxidation enzymes in response to diatom feeding.
- Study constitutive versus inducible enzyme expression strategies for terrestrial and phytoplankton carbon sources.
Strengths
- Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
- Specific experimental conditions (diatom vs. leaf feeding) are clearly described in the metadata.
- The file is a small 10.0 KB XLSX, facilitating quick inspection.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The dataset is very small (10.0 KB), indicating limited scope.
