Functional Characterization of Cadmium-Resistant Genes in Paecilomyces lilacinus

A 337.7 KB Excel dataset from figshare, last updated May 14, 2026, by FangMei Wang. It presents results from a study identifying key genes regulating cadmium resistance in the filamentous fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus, isolated from contaminated soil in the Xiangjiang River Basin. The data was generated using high-throughput Illumina HiSeq sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.

Use Cases

• Identifying candidate genes for genetic engineering to enhance fungal tolerance based on differential expression analysis.
• Studying molecular pathways involved in heavy metal stress response in filamentous fungi.
• Developing bioinformatics pipelines for annotating differentially expressed genes from RNA-seq data.
• Informing environmental bioremediation strategies by understanding microbial adaptation to cadmium contamination.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The study uses high-throughput Illumina HiSeq sequencing, a standard method for gene expression analysis.
• The description provides a clear research context involving soil from the Xiangjiang River Basin.

Limitations

• The dataset is small at 337.7 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
