Data from: Interacting Effects of Cell Size and Temperature on Gene Expression, Growth, Development and Swimming Performance in Larval Zebrafish

This dataset contains raw data of DNA content, gene expression levels, growth, development and swimming performance of diploid and triploid larval zebrafish, used for analyses and figures of the Frontiers paper: Interacting effects of cell size and temperature on gene expression, growth, development and swimming performance in larval zebrafish by van de Pol, Hermaniuk and Verberk. In this paper we investigated the effects of cell size on gene expression, growth, development and swimming performance in zebrafish larvae at different temperatures. Details about the experimental procedures can be found in the Materials and Methods section of the paper. We have also included the R scripts for data analyses in this dataset. A brief description of the data files and column descriptions can be found below.

The datafiles include:

  • FCM_data.csv Columns: sample: file name of the FCM sample ploidy: ploidy level of the larva rt: rearing temperature in degrees Celcius cycle: round of larval rearing stdpeak: annotated standard peak (internal standardisation with 2n peak of diploid larva) ratio: ratio of fluorescence peak of interest/peak A stdsize: genome size of zebrafish in picograms pg: weight in picograms of the peak of interest rcs: residual chi-square value, a goodness-of-fit value for the fitted model phase: cell cycle phase of the peak fluor: fluorescence of the peak (no unit) count: number of nuclei in the peak perc: percentage of nuclei in this cell cycle phase g2g1: ratio of cells in G2 phase compared to G1 calculated as G2/G1*100

  • Cell_phase_analysis.R R script for analysing densities of G1-phase cells and G2/G1 ratios

  • Gene_expr1.csv Expression of 6 housekeeping genes normalized for a combined index of the 5 other genes Columns: sample: number of sample; each sample contained 3 larvae ploidy: ploidy level of larvae rt: rearing temperature in degrees Celcius gene: abbreviated gene name expr: relative quantity cq: cycle threshold value

  • Gene_expression_analysis.R R script for analysing gene expression data

  • Gene_expr2.csv Expression of metabolic genes normalized for rps11 and actb1 Columns: sample: number of sample; each sample contained 3 larvae ploidy: ploidy level of larvae rt: rearing temperature in degrees Celcius gene: abbreviated gene name expr: relative quantity cq: cycle threshold value

  • Gene_expression_analysis2.R R script for analysing gene expression data

  • Gene_exp3.csv Expression of metabolic genes normalized for all 6 housekeeping genes Columns: sample: number of sample; each sample contained 3 larvae ploidy: ploidy level of larvae rt: rearing temperature in degrees Celcius gene: abbreviated gene name expr: relative quantity cq: cycle threshold value

  • Gene_expression_analysis3.R R script for analysing gene expression data

  • Development_larvae.csv Columns: cycle: round of larval rearing id: individual annotation of larva ploidy: ploidy level of larva rt: rearing temperature in degrees Celsius hpf: hours post fertilization devst: developmental stage devh: corresponding developmental hours

  • Development_analysis.R R script for analysing development data

  • DV_masterfile_allT.csv Columns: rtemp: rearing temperature in degrees Celsius. mtemp: measuring temperature in degrees Celsius. individual: individual identifier. trial: swimming performance trial. rankstim: rank number of startle. speed: velocity measured in mm/s. note that for startle = 0, this represents the average spontaneous velocity over 19 seconds after the startle stimulus. lgspeed: 10 log of speed. startle: startle = 1 means a startle stimulus was presented. startle stimulus = 0 means there was no startle stimulus, representing inter-startle-interval. cs: cs = 1 means this larva received a cold shock to induce triploidy. cs = 0 means no cold shock was applied. ploidy: ploidy level of larva. responder: responder = 1 is defined as a larva that at least once showed a velocity higher than 15 mm/s. responder = 0 if a larva never showed a velocity higher than 15 mm/s. length: length of larva in mm
