Differential expression analysis to aluminum toxicity in Citrus x limonia Osbeck

Here we deliver the Differential gene expression  on genes response to aluminum toxicity in Citrus x limonia. Root apices of ‘Mandarin’ lime plants grown for 60 days in nutrient solutions either with 1480 mM Al³⁺ or 0 mM Al³⁺ were analyzed by RNA-seq.

Clean reads were mapped to the sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) genome (Xu et al. 2013). Gene expression levels were calculated by CPM (Counts per million) reads. We used HTSeq ver. 0.6.1 (Anders et al. 2015) CPM estimation. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) here reported by NOIseq ver. 2.16.0 (Tarazona et al. 2016). 

Results:

Number of differentially expressed (DE) features (Probability > 0.7): 3,351

Up-regulated (M > 0): 1,664
Down-regulated (M < 0): 1,687

All software were run on OmicsBox interface.
