Diversity of sea star-associated densoviruses and transcribed endogenized vir...
The primary interest of sea star densoviruses, specifically SSaDV, has been their association with Sea Star Wasting Syndrome (SSWS), a disease that has decimated sea star... -
Species' attributes predict the relative magnitude of ecological and genetic ...
Theoretically, species' characteristics should allow estimation of dispersal potential and, in turn, explain levels of population genetic differentiation. However, a mismatch... -
Genotype-based comparative transcriptomics of Pisaster ochraceus
An insertion mutation in an intron of elongation factor 1-alpha confers tolerance to disease in Pisaster ochraceus, but is overdominant. Here we compare genomes of the two... -
Identification of telomerase RNA from class asteroidea (star fish) species
RNA-seq of size selected Pisaster ochraceus (ochre sea star) and Pisaster giganteus (giant sea star) RNA (300-750 nts) was performed using illumina HiSeq 2000 for the... -
Ochre sea star genomic variation along the central Oregon coast
Sea star tissue samples (5-10 tube feet) were collected non-lethally across six sites along the central coast of Oregon in 2016. For this project, we targeted individuals that... -
Pisaster ochraceus Transcriptome or Gene expression
To better understand the phylogeny of extant echinoderms and the placement of Xyloplax, we employed RNA-Seq to retrieve large numbers of orthologous loci from each transcriptome... -
RNA sequencing of longitudinal epidermal biopsies from Pisaster ochraceus
Time course gene expression data from the seastar Pisaster ochraceus as they progressed through sea star wasting disease or remained asymptomatic -
Pisaster ochraceus Raw sequence reads
Demultiplexed raw ddRAD sequence data from Schiebelhut LM, Puritz JB & Dawson MN. "Decimation by sea star wasting disease and rapid genetic change in a keystone species,... -
An Initial Comparative Genomic Autopsy of Wasting Disease in Sea Stars
Beginning in 2013, sea stars throughout the Eastern North Pacific were decimated by wasting disease, also known as ‘asteroid idiopathic wasting syndrome’ (AIWS) due to its... -
Phylogenetic analysis of Echinoderms
Echinoderms are the second largest phylum of deuterostomes after chordates and serve as important model systems for developmental biology and regeneration. We assembled de novo... -
Minor genetic consequences of a major mass mortality: short-term effects in P...
Mass mortality events (MMEs) are increasing globally in frequency and magnitude, largely due to human-induced change. The effects of these MMEs, both in the long- and...
