title: Data from: Transcriptomic responses of the calanoid copepod Calanus finmarchicus to the saxitoxin producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium fundyense

description: In the Gulf of Maine, the copepod Calanus finmarchicus co-occurs with the
 neurotoxin-producing dinoflagellate, Alexandrium fundyense. The copepod is
 resistant to this toxic alga, but little is known about other effects.
 Gene expression profiles were used to investigate the physiological
 response of females feeding for two and five days on a control diet or a
 diet containing either a low or a high dose of A. fundyense. The
 physiological responses to the two experimental diets were similar, but
 changed between the time points. At 5-days the response was characterized
 by down-regulated genes involved in energy metabolism. Detoxification was
 not a major component of the response. Instead, genes involved in
 digestion were consistently regulated, suggesting that food assimilation
 may have been affected. Thus, predicted increases in the frequency of
 blooms of A. fundyense could affect C. finmarchicus populations by
 changing the individuals’ energy budget and reducing their ability to
 build lipid reserves.

For each transcript NCBI Accession No., sequence length (bp) and annotation results are reported. Annotation results from blastx against Non-redundant (NR) protein database (BLAST2GO) consist of: sequence description, hit description, hit accession No., e-value, similarity score, alignment length and positives. In bold transcripts that resulted annotated using BLAST2GO, but were also in silico annotated using the workflow described in Christie et al., 2013a; Christie et al., 2013b; Christie et al., 2014. In red bolded, transcripts that did not retrieve annotation using BLAST2GO, but were in silico annotated as described in Christie et al., 2013a; Christie et al., 2013b; Christie et al., 2014. For bolded transcripts (red and black) the assigned name and reference paper are listed. For more information on the transcriptome refer to Lenz et al., 2014.
