Functional Characterization of Cadmium-Resistant Genes in Paecilomyces lilacinus

A 2.0 MB Excel dataset by FangMei Wang, last updated May 14, 2026. It presents results from a study identifying key genes regulating cadmium resistance in the filamentous fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus, using high-throughput Illumina HiSeq sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate genes for genetic modification based on differential expression data mentioned in the description.
• Study fungal tolerance mechanisms to heavy metal stress based on the described cadmium-tolerance focus.
• Design targeted genetic interventions like siRNA interference based on the novel Cd-resistant genes highlighted.

Strengths

• Dataset is licensed CC-BY-4.0, allowing for broad reuse and distribution.
• Description provides specific methodological context, including the use of Illumina HiSeq sequencing.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
