RNA-seq Data from Ecklonia Radiata Exposed to Marine Heatwaves in Tasmania

30 samples of raw RNA sequencing reads from juvenile Ecklonia radiata kelp collected from Bruny Island, Tasmania. The data was generated by the Australian Ocean Data Network in a controlled laboratory experiment exposing individuals to ambient, single, or repeated marine heatwave treatments. High-quality FASTQ files are suitable for transcriptomic analyses of thermal stress and recovery responses.

Use Cases

• Differential gene expression analysis based on exposure to single versus repeated heatwave treatments
• Transcriptomic profiling of thermal stress response and recovery mechanisms in kelp
• Comparative molecular analysis between ambient and heatwave-exposed marine organisms

Strengths

• 30 high-quality raw FASTQ files from a controlled experiment
• 5 biological replicates per treatment per time point, supporting statistical robustness

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
