Fixing the gff file
The top file in this picture (in pink box) is the short file that seems to work. The bottom file is an example of a gff file that needs to be edited to mimic the top.
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s242/sh/21fe6054-eb77-4754-b332-a42f086f41ba/5788c3de4f88a72eaa261006690e3017
List of things that need to be changed in bottom gff file (v9_p.gff):
1. gene line needs to be first entry for each scaffold
2. gene needs ID=geneXXXXX
3. gene format should be gene [2 numbers that are the same for cds and mRNA] . - . ID=....
4. mRNA and cds need ID=mRNAXXXXX or ID=cdsXXXXX

Giles found a webpage (
http://gmod.org/wiki/GFF3) that says that the #gff-version3 must be in the header of a gff3 file. I added this to one of the files that Steven had made (ets_v9_r.gff) and ran the following in samifier
java -jar samifier.jar -r /Volumes/web/oyster/proteomics/interact-20120821_103B_251_QE_02.prot.mzid -m /Volumes/web/oyster/bioinformatics/103B_251_02_mappingfile.txt -g /Volumes/web/cnidarian/ets_v9_r.gff -c /Volumes/web/oyster/bioinformatics/Crassostrea_gigas.GCA_000297895.1.21.dna.genome.fa.fa -o /Users/emmatimminsschiffman/Documents/winter_2014/Bioinformatics/Cg_samifier_out20141313 -l /Users/emmatimminsschiffman/Documents/winter_2014/Bioinformatics/log_20141313 -b /Users/emmatimminsschiffman/Documents/winter_2014/Cg_20141313.bed
The code ran, but all I got was an empty log file. I think the error was "Run exception thrown", but I'm not sure what this means
Abbreviated gff file so that it only has a few entries and made sure that the "gene" line came before mRNA and exon lines. Ran the same code as above. Same error.

The above file did not actually look like the example the samifier developers had given me, so re-edited the file and reran code. Still got the same error.

Giles and I made another version of the gff file, but still got the same error. He looked around in the java code and figured out that the problem actually seems to be with the mzid file. I've emailed the samifier developers.

Proteomics: focus on immune
Working with dataset of proteins that were originally subset based on GO terms related to the immune response. For each stress response (OA, Mech stress, OA + mech stress) protein sets were edited so that only proteins with a non-zero expression across all 8 oysters and at least a 2-fold change are included. In R, calculated number of proteins in each GO term for each stress response and average fold change for each GO term (by averaging fold change for all proteins included in that GO group).

Secondary stress: Glycogen
Recalculated glycogen content as µg glyc/mg tissue. For glycogen calculated as µg/µl multiplied by (200 µl/[mg glycogen used in extraction]. 200 µl is the volume in which the glycogen pellets were reconstituted. This correction made the means among the 3 treatments even more similar and an anova with pCO2 as a fixed factor yielded a p-value of 0.4.

jimmy converted some of my files to mzIdentML. First file I tried was 103B_251_QE_02.pep.mzid (peptide spectrum matches file). ensembl genes table file = S. purpuratus from USCS (screenshot of download saved) - other option could be sea hare. Amino acid sequences = same entries for download as genes table except table = RefSeq genes. No uniprot ID mapping file is available for S. purpuratus so uploaded a blank txt file because I couldn't delete the file path that was already there. For FASTA file downloaded S. purpuratus peptides:

Tried running iPiG with all the files Jimmy converted but always got an error about DatabaseName not being complete or Duplicate unique value [] declared for identity constraint... I think I need to get rid of the uniprot ID-mapping file but I'm not sure how. If I don't change the file path, then it still doesn't work.

Secondary stress: Glycogen
Redid samples from 1/25 that were too concentrated (diluted them 1:60 this time). There was not enough hydrolysis enzyme mix for the last replicate of 24, so it was only done in duplicate (the last being a sample blank control). Redid stats (ANOVA) and there is no difference among treatments. Below are means with 95% CI.

Secondary stress: Glycogen
Followed manufacturer's protocol for calculation of glycogen concentration (µg/µl) in oyster tissues. If the reaction turned brown for any of the oysters, the results were not included in the analysis (the concentration of the glycogen exceeded the limits of the reaction). The background was subtracted from each absorbance value. Coefficient of variation was <20% for all samples so all 3 replicates were included in averages.
For both plates, the standard curve was completely linear and the equation of the trendline was used to calculate glycogen concentration for each unknown sample. Samples concentrations were corrected for the 1:30 dilution and for the reaction volume.
There was no different in glycogen content among the 3 pCO2 treatment levels (400, 800, 2800 µatm). However, 4 of the samples that were too concentrated to measure at a 1:30 dilution were from the 400 µatm treatment and this may indicate that there was more glycogen content in the control treatment.
The following samples were excluded from analysis and will have to be rerun at a lower concentration: 3, 12, 15, 234, 24
January 24, 2014
Secondary stress: Glycogen
Did glycogen assay (sigma kit) on n = 8 samples from each of 3 pCO2 treatments (previously extracted by Sam) - 400, 800, and 2800 µatm. Samples were run in triplicate except for 0 standard and sample blanks. Sample blanks were a mixture of multiple samples to which no hydrolysis enzyme was added. All samples were diluted 1:30. I will have to redo a few samples at lower dilution because they maxed out the reaction (samples turned brown).

Glycogen content assay using Sigma's MAK016 kit. Followed manufacturer's protocol for absorbance assay. Samples were run in duplicate. The 3 samples I extracted (3, 219, and 366) were also run at full concentration and diluted 1:2, 1:10, and 1:20 in water. After the master reaction mix was added, wells were mixed by pipetting up and down. I think this created too many bubbles and affected the replication for my plate read later.
Some of the samples maxed out the assay and it turned brown (instead of fuschia): All samples at full concentration and 1:2, sample 3 at 1:10. It also seems that for the first row (the standards) within each duplicate every other sample is lower than its partner. Mac votes "plate effect" and for the next plate I will avoid the external columns and rows.
I also think I will need to dilute the samples 1:30 in order to be within the range for the curve. I might add an extra standard on the high end of the curve to make sure.

Further exploration of possible protein-protein interaction network software. Navigator is a no-go due to limitations on annotations from multiple species. I've installed APID2NET v. 1.52 plugin in cytoscape, but it is only approved to work with an older version of cytoscape. APID seems perfect because it provides an option to find interactions between proteins from different species.
APID retrieval -> search list from file -> selected file OA for string (list of swissprot IDs for differentially expressed proteins in response to elevated pCO2)
in search filter dialogue box, checked "search interspecies protein..." and "search hypothetical protein...", connexion levels = 1, experimental methods = 1
in search list, selected find all. After results loaded, clicked Paint. APID Session -> save session -> OA APID
This seems to have worked! More to come....
In the NODE GO I can get a list of the frequencies of all GO terms represented in the network. I'm having trouble figuring out how to manipulate the network and actually zoom in to specific parts. Could be a versioning issue?

Made a node attributes file of proteins (swissprot IDs) and fold change between pCO2 levels. #DIV/0 were replaced with 100 (i.e. if a protein was expressed only at high pCO2 it is considered expressed 100-fold more than the 0 expression at low pCO2).
import -> table -> file -> OA node attributes
key column for network: shared name
import data as: node table columns
under show text file import options select that first row is column names
in show mapping options make sure column with node identifiers (SPIDs) is selected
layout -> yfiles layout -> organic (from the manual:
The organic layout algorithm is a kind of spring-embedded algorithm that combines elements of the other algorithms to show the clustered structure of a graph)
layouts can also be organized so that a shared attribute will be in its own circle. i did this for taxonomy of the annotation
and for fold-change.
Adding gene ontology information: import -> ontology and annotation -> data type = node, annotation = gene association file for uniprot, ontology = gene ontology full -> import
After 37 minutes this still wasn't done and my computer was on the brink of crashing, so I canceled the import.

Using String v 9.1 to create a protein interaction network.
Uploaded file of differentially expressed (swissprot IDs, at least 2-fold) proteins in the OA response to string under the "multiple names" tab. Chose auto-detect for organism and for interactors chose proteins. This forced me to choose a single organism for the interaction network.
Repeated same steps as above except chose eukaryota as organism, however this still forces me to choose an organism on the next page. Tried again asking for COGs as interactor, this seemed to work.
Where I am now: I've downloaded the tab delim txt file from String and uploaded it as a protein interaction network into Cytoscape with column 1 as the source and column 2 as the target (based on this comment from a discussion board:
If you download the "Text Summary" .txt file from STRING (instead of trying the "Graph Layout" .dat file), you can import it into Cytoscape using the table import function (File->Import->Network from Table (Test/MS Excel)...). The first two columns contain the interactions and the rest contain the weights of different interaction types from STRING. Unfortunately, the specific layout of the string network is not easy to import into Cytoscape right now, but the interactions are.). I would like to upload protein expression data as node attributes, but my network file is based on COGs and my protein expression is SPIDs. I'm having trouble finding a way to link COGs with SPIDs because it seem that NCBI doesn't maintain these files (here's the list of files I found: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/COG/).
I've also uploaded just a list of proteins (swiss prot IDs) but since there are no interactions between the proteins nothing happens when I upload expression information and try to do a directed layout.

I played around a bit with protein-protein interaction network stuff today. I tried Nascent and something called ENT. It looks like a limitation for a lot of these packages is that my data is annotated from multiple model species.
For Nascent I tried to make C. gigas both the source (annotation) and target (networked) animal, basing the calculation on sequence similarity. That returned empty results. Same thing when I tried to make M. musculus the source animal. Seems like this might be a good bioinformatics project.
Moving on to iPath, I made 3 separate plots for 2-fold differentially expressed proteins from each treatment condition. Red = expressed higher in stress condition and blue = lower, line width = 20.
I also made blots for all proteins expressed higher across all 3 stress conditions and all expressed lower. blue = OA only, yellow = mech stress only, red = OA + mech stress, green = protein changes for both OA only and Mech stress only (i.e. for proteins shared across responses color = combination of the single response colors, brown = across all 3). These plots are harder to understand by just quickly looking at them, so I think the 3-plot approach is more useful.

For each heat map treatment groups clustered together.

Western blot with primary antibody phosphorylated site for MAPKAPK-2 (Thr222), CST #3316. Product is 49 kDa, antibody made in rabbit. Samples are the same used for Nov 26 and gel layouts are the same except there is no control and I included samples 41 and 44 on both gels (although on gel 2 there is only 20 µl of 41 and 15 µl of 44, on gel 1 there is 25 µl of each). 41 and 44 are in the last 2 wells of each gel. I made new SDS 10% and new 10x electrophoresis buffer this morning.
Primary antibody was diluted 1:1000 in PBS-1% tween-5% BSA.

The blots did not turn out. I did very long exposure times (up to 1/2 hour) with the film. I can see that there are a couple of very faint bands. Charlotte thinks that the problem is the primary antibody that was used once before. We are going to order new antibody and she may redo the blot for me in January.
Next step: redo one of the blots that I previously did (probably antibody 2793) with the samples prepared yesterday.

The blots that I did Dec 3-4 and Dec 11-12 both failed to show expression of AMPKa (the antibody bound to the dye front on the membranes from 12/3-4). I am re-preparing samples to do the blot today with antibody #2603 (otherwise known as 23A3). Samples are diluted in lysis buffer to 2.24 mg/ml (to 50 µl) and I prepared new loading buffer (16.65 µl added to each sample).
The well for sample 266 had a little blip at the bottom, which may affect the shape of the band.
The primary antibody diluted in PBS-tween-BSA was used once before.

Day 2 of western blot. This particular form of AMPKa does not seem to be expressed in oyster gill tissue. I left films to develop in the cassette for 4 and 8 minutes and the band for the ampk-treated control cells turned out very well, but there was no expression in any of my samples. Tomorrow I will use the other antibody that is supposed to be similar to this one (#2603) to see if I get the same results.
(Re)did quantifications for previous 2 blots. I think there is a chemiluminescence problem with membrane 2 from Dec 4 and with sample 41 on membrane 1. I will redo membrane 2, but no need to redo 41 since it is a mech stress sample and I'm not including those in this analysis. Based on ANOVA, there is no difference in expression among treatments (excluding 2800 MS) of AMPKa (antibody 2793), phosphorylation site of AMPKa for full-length protein, or for phosphorylation site of truncated protein (p > 0.05).

Proteomics: Brest
I met with Catherine to discuss my SOD results. She thought the best interpretation would be to choose a time point where all the samples had a linear slope and do a single point calculation. I chose the time point 15 min, 10s (only 1 sample had to be excluded due to non-linearity at this time point, 59.2). I calculated the coefficient of variation for the sample replicates and all were <20%. I plotted the standard curve and the linear version (by taking LN of the SOD U/ml). % inhibition was calculated for all samples based on the equation: ([abs blank 1]-[abs sample])/[abs blank 1] *100.
To achieve linearity, the 100 standard was removed from the linear curve before calculation of the best fit line (in excel). The equation of the best fit line was used to calculate SOD U/ml for each sample based on its % inhibition. SOD U/mL were multiplied by 2 (dilution factor) and then divided by the average concentration of the protein sample to get SOD U/mg. These values were used in R to calculate differences among the treatment groups.
SOD activity is significantly greater at 2800 and 2800 + mech stress compared to the other two treatments (400 and 1000), but are not different from each other. 1000 µatm is not different from the control.
These results are in contrast to the previous no difference in GST activity among all 4 treatments.

Day 2 of western blot. Secondary antibody is goat anti-mouse. Blot seems to have worked well, but the oyster AMPKa is much smaller than the one in the control. It looks like all samples express AMPK at about the same level, but I will do quantifications next week.
Charlotte says that it is the truncated form that reacted with the antibody, not the total protein (that's why it's smaller). The control is ~55kDa and the oyster truncated form is 10-15 kDa. (This is in fact much much smaller than the truncated form that Eric saw in his work, which seems weird...)

Day 1 of western blot. Same samples used (and in same order) as Nov 26. Gel 1 tore a little bit, but will hopefully turn out ok. Since samples had already been prepped on 11/26, I just reheated them for 5 minutes at 100°C before leaving on bench for 10 min and then storing on ice. Primary antibody = CST #2793, anti-AMPK alpha in mouse. Antibody is diluted 1/1000 (50 µl in 50 ml of PBS-tween-5% BSA).
Did quantifications of western blot from 11/26-11/27. I quantified 2 different images for each membrane. Global background was set based on the image background for each membrane photo.

SOD activity assay of samples extraction in lysis buffer (TL). All samples run in triplicate and diluted 1:2 in dilution buffer from kit. Manufacturer's protocol followed except ddH2O was not put in the blank 1 and 3 wells. Used standard curve but also ran kinetic protocol, reading plate ever 1 min 10s over 20 minutes. 20 µl of lysis buffer was put in wells for blank 2.
Some of the reaction curves for the SOD assay had data points that were obviously incorrect (i.e. were scatter randomly about the plot instead of in a linear relationship). If no part of the plot was linear, the data will not be used. If the plot became linear after the random scattering, then only the linear portion of the plot will be used. Here is a list of samples that had to be completely deleted (sample number.replicate): 14.2, 28.3, 34.2, 47.1, 278.1, 376.1. The 2 lowest concentration standards (0.5 and 0.25) needed to have points removed because the reaction curve plateaued after a certain point. Most of the samples that had points removed had them removed from the beginning of the kinetic reaction. The samples that had points deleted were: 34.1, 38.2, 38.3, 41.1, 44.3, 56.1, 56.3, 59.2, 236.3, 266.1, 266.2, 278.2, 278.3, 367.1, 367.2, 367.3, 373.2, 373.3, 376.3, 379.1, 379.3. Overall, I think it was a good call to do the kinetic reaction curves since so many of the samples had inaccurate starting absorbance values.
Slopes of the linear curves were calculated for each sample, blank, and standard. Slopes for blanks 2 and 3 were 0. Calculated coefficient of variation (standard dev/mean) of the triplicate slopes for each sample. If CV>20%, the outlier slope was excluded from further calculations. Sample 47 shows too much variability to be included. I calculated the inhibition rate according to the equation in the manufacturer's protocol, which ends up being ([slope for blank 1]-[slope for sample])/[slope for blank 1] *100 since slopes for other blanks = 0. However, this resulted in inhibition rates ranging from >100% to >2000%, which doesn't make any sense.
I plotted the standard concentrations against the average slope values for each standard (excluded 0.5 and 0.25) and fitted the logarithmic curve in Excel. I used the logarithmic eqn to calculate concentrations based on slope values for the other samples. I also plotted the linear relationship between LN(standard concentration)~slope average and derived sample concentrations. I think the latter is more accurate because the former results in negative sample concentrations.

Western blot using AMPK phosphorylated Thr172 as previously described. Samples used are those extracted in tampon de lyse Nov 13 and 18. Samples were prepared by diluting all of them to 2.235 mg/ml (based on least concentrated sample's concentration) in tampon de lyse to make 100 µl. 33.3 µl of loading buffer (475 µl loading dye + 25 µl beta mercaptoethanol) was added to each sample, vortexed, heated at ~100°C for 10 minutes, incubated at RT for 10 min, vortexed, spun down, and stored on ice. Samples were almost immediately loaded into prepared gels. Order of gels are left to right when looking at the gel from behind. 5 µl of ladder was loaded, 10 µl of control, and 25 µl of each sample. On each gel, there are 2 protein samples from 400 µatm, 2 from 1000, 3 from 2800, and 1 from 2800 + mechanical stress. 2 additional 2800 + MS samples were prepared and not loaded (47 and 28) and samples 38 and 34 were not prepared. Upper corner near ladder is cut on gel 1, all other 3 corners are cut on gel 2.

SOD activity assay using kit of samples extracted in lysis buffer, diluted 1:10 in kit dilution buffer. With 1:10 dilution, sample concentrations were at the very end of the standard curve. Additionally, on reading the protocol more carefully, apparently the enzyme working solution is not good after 3 weeks at 4°C. Ours has definitely been around longer than this so I need to follow up with Catherine. I'm also having trouble with post-assay calculations...I will redo the assay with less dilute samples and may try the kinetic method instead of the standard curve.

Ran GST assay in triplicate for all the samples extracted in Triton buffer. Activities were calculated using the equation in the manufacturer's protocol. Activities were corrected for different starting concentrations by dividing the activity (µmol/ml/min) by the sample concentration (mg/ml). The entire 20 minutes of the reaction was used to calculate activity since the entire curve was linear. Using ANOVA and binomial GLM, there are no significant differences among the treatment groups. If you squint, there is a slight suppression of activity at 1000 and 2800 µatm compared to control and then activity becomes elevated again at 2800 + mechanical stress. However, due to low sample sizes and some inter-individual variability it's hard to tell if the trends are "real".

Test of GST and SOD enzymatic assays with most recently extracted samples. I chose 2 samples that have the lowest concentrations and one with a higher concentration for each test (n=3 samples tested total). For SOD this was 278, 38, and 50 and for GST 382, 272, and 361. All samples run in duplicate.
For SOD, followed manufacturer's protocol but did not do a standard curve because Catherine was gone and I couldn't find the SOD standard. Samples were diluted both 1:2 and 1:10. It seems that the assay will still work with samples diluted 1:10, based on the values from October 9.
Followed the manufacturer's protocol for GST. For the GST control, used 4 µl of GST diluted 1:10 or 1:5. Used 20 µl undiluted sample. Assay was run for 20 minutes with reads every 50s. It looks like the 1:5 dilution of the control gives a good, linear curve. The 3 samples all showed a linear response, although 361 had by far the steepest curve (being the more concentrated sample). But even the least concentrated (382 at 1.7 mg/ml) had a linear kinetic response.

NMDS of antioxidant enzymes from proteomics dataset (see 11/5/13). There was one redundant protein that has been removed from the dataset so that there are 30 proteins. NSAF data were Log(x+1) transformed and Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrix was used. In plot, orange points represent 2800 µatm, 400 µatm are in blue, and mechanically stressed oysters are the closed circles. There is no difference among treatment groups for expression of antioxidant enzymes.

Extraction of samples 14, 17, 20, 23, 50, 53, 56, 59, 25, 28, 31, 34, 38, 41, 44, 47. Some are extracted in lysis buffer and some in triton (see excel spreadsheet for details).
The concentration values were weird for the first plate read, so I read it again and they seemed more consistent. I saved both outputs (the second good one is appended with "bon").
Protein concentrations ranged from 2.38-9.396 mg/ml.
There is a weak correlation between mass of tissue extracted and protein sample concentration (R^2 = 0.53), but this relationship is stronger when R^2 is calculated individually for each extraction method (0.77 for lysis buffer, 0.72 for triton).

All samples are well below 100 mg (0.1 g) so I cannot divide the tissues between the 2 extraction buffers. I am doing each sample with one extraction method and Sam will send more samples to round out the sample sizes. Prepared new Tampon de Lyse (TL) this morning by adding to 50 mL of lysis buffer 2 tables protease, 500 µl phosphatase, and 1 mL NaPPi. No inhibitors were added to triton (TR). Samples are extracted in batches of 8 and details can be found in excel worksheet titled "protein extractions". Both extraction types were done following the TL protocol exactly. 2 µl of each protein sample was diluted 1:10 in 18 µl of water to find concentrations. Samples were stored at -80°C.
Protein concentration was determined using the BioRad DC assay. Samples were all diluted 1:10 and manufacturer's protocol was followed. All samples run in triplicate. If the %CV was >20, the outlier concentration was excluded from the mean. Concentrations ranged from 1.6-7.5 mg/ml.

To test whether the inhibition of the GST assay in the lysis buffer extraction is caused by the buffer itself or the inhibitors that are added, prepared some triton with inhibitors. To 12.5 ml of triton prepared on 10/3/13, added 1/2 tablet protease inhibitors, 250 µl NaPPi (decrystalized), and 125 µl phosphatase inhibitors. For some of the triton assays, will added 10 µl of sample and 10 µl of triton-extracted sample. For the GST control, did 2 wells of 2 µl of undiluted enzyme and 2 wells of 4 µl of 10x diluted enzyme. Assay was read at 340 nm ever 50 s for 20 minutes.

Received GST kit and did assay of samples extracted Oct 3 and concentrations done Oct 9. Followed manufacturer's protocol for 96-well format. GST control was diluted 10x in sample buffer. Samples were run undiluted (4 µl) and diluted 10x in milliQ water (4 µl). Activity was read at 340 nm every 50 s for 10 min.
At these concentrations it looks like the triton extractions work much better than the lysis buffer extractions. Overall, activity values were pretty weak (2-3 times what was measured in the blanks). I'm going to redo this on Tuesday using greater concentrations of the GST control (undiluted, diluted 5x, 10x, 20x), and greater concentrations of the different samples (undiluted for all, 4 µl, 10 µl, 20 µl).
Note for future assays: aliquot samples into wells first and add enzyme solution last because plate is supposed to be loaded immediately after all is put together.

Created list of antioxidant proteins that were sequenced in proteomics (from supp table S3 from manuscript). Searched for the following terms to make list: superoxide, catalase, glutathione, dual oxidase, peroxidase, peroxiredoxin, thioredoxin, glutathione reductase. This resulted in 31 proteins (some CGI numbers have identical annotations - need to do alignments to determine if really different proteins). In response to OA, glutathione S-transferase omega-1 and dual oxidase 2 were expressed >2-fold in high pCO2 vs low pCO2 and mitochondrial glutathione reductase (n=2), glutathione S-transferase 3 (n=2), another glutathione S-transferase omega-1, and thioredoxin domain-containing protein 16 were expressed only at high pCO2. A GST omega-1, GST mu 3, and dual oxidase 2 were downregulated at elevated pCO2. For response to mechanical stress alone GST omega-1 was upreg at least 2-fold and glutathione reductase (n=2), GST 3 (n=2), GST omega-1, dual oxidase 2, thioredoxin domain-containing protein 16 were all expressed only after mech stress. GST P2, GST omega-1, dual oxidase 2, and thioredoxin domain-containing protein 17 were all downreg after mech stress. In response to OA + mech stress GST A, GST 3, and thioredoxin domain-containing protein 17 were upreg at least 2-fold while GST omega-1, GST 3, GST Mu 3, dual oxidase 2 (n=2), and thioredoxin domain-containing protein were expressed only after mech stress. GST A and GST omega-1 were at least 2-fold down reg.

All samples were done in triplicate and aliquoted with buffers according to manufacturer's protocol. For some reason, there was not enough of the Triton samples to put 20 µl in all 3 wells but there was enough of the T de L samples ( I made them at the same time so I'm not sure what I did wrong here). As a result, the 3rd triton wells were left out of calculations. Incubated plate at 37°C for 20 min, then placed in plate reader and read at 450 nm (NB: make sure plate reader is warmed up to 37°C before it's time to read the plate).
The activity assay is actually a measure of SOD inhibiting a reaction (the less the inhibition, the darker the yellow color in the well). For the standard curve, absorbance values must be log-transformed to make a linear curve. The 100 standard can be excluded from the curve to increase linearity. Activity of SOD in the tampon de lyse-extracted samples was about 4X > activity in the triton-extracted samples. For the tampon de lyse samples, there was good within and between sample consistency of SOD activity.
This is an efficient assay because with the concentrations of these samples (5-9 mg/ml), only 7 µl was needed to make a working solution of 70 µl.

The blots didn't work out very well. And I think I probably mixed up the gels, although neither really looks like the one I did 9/25. The membrane I ended up calling membrane 1 had a very faint signal - most of the bands couldn't be seen with an exposure <4 minutes. The other membrane has a dark shadow in front of it and cannot be clearly viewed.

Samples are ~6 mg/ml. Also found concentration of new tube of control (A1, now called T blot). Its concentration was ~4 mg/ml. For 20 µg of T blot, load 13.3 µl into gel.
Day 1 of western blot (see 9/24/13). Redid samples from 9/24, but used same dilutions in loading buffer previously made. To denature, heated 5 min at 100°C.

Primary antibody = AMPKa phosphorylation sites. *I am 90% sure that I didn't mix the gels up and that the one with 1 corner cut off is gel 1 (with samples from 9/24) and the one with 2 corners cut off is the new samples.

Removed primary antibody wash and incubated membranes on rocker with PBS+tween for 10 minutes and then for 2*5 minutes. Incubated with rabbit anti-goat antibody for 1 hour (in PBS+tween+BSA, 20 µl antibody in 50 mL - dilution = 1/5000).
After second antibody, incubated 10 min with PBS+tween and then 5 minutes. Left membranes in PBS+tween until development of films (on bench top).
For each membrane, made 5 mL of reagent that binds to antibody and emits light: 2.5 mL Immun-star HRP luminol/enhancer + 2.5 mL Immun-star HRP peroxide buffer (keep away from light). In dark room, placed membranes in dish and poured reagent over, covering membrane surface. Incubated 5 min. Transferred membranes into casette lined with plastic (no wrinkles!) and then folded to cover membranes with plastic. Placed film on top of the plastic-coated membranes and close casette (best time seems to be about 3.5 minutes). Transfer film to realizing reagent (made ahead of time), dipping it in a few times and checking band darkness against red led. Then put film in fixative (made ahead of time) for a minute or so. Transfer to water.
The top row is loaded with 10 µl of product (45 µg) and the bottom has 20 µl (90 µg). It seems that we could probably load about 25 and still have plenty of signal. A1 is a control (undifferentiated oyster gonad) and 10 µl were loaded.

Made sure dataset only includes proteins that are expressed in at least 2 oysters across all 8 for the comparison. Enrichment analysis showed that RNA splicing, mRNA processing, chordate embryonic development, and mRNA metabolic process are enriched.
Redid q-value for all treatments because realized that I had included p-values for comparisons of expression = 0 in both treatments being compared. The results were qualitatively the same (the same proteins were significant) but q-values were slightly different. For the comparison of just mechanically stressed oysters, one protein was sig diff: 26S protease regulatory subunit 8, which is expressed only in oysters exposed to OA before mech stress.

Stirred for a few minutes then added 50 µl 10% APS, 15 µl TEMED. Filled gel molds to the top with gel de concentration. Insert combs (refilled with gel de concentration). Let solidify 40 min.
Yanouk prepared 1X electrophoresis buffer and 1X transfer buffer (the latter stored at 4°C).
Prepared samples: diluted all samples to 6 mg/ml in tampon de lyse to a total volume of 100 µl. Added 33.3 µl of loading buffer (prepared ahead of time). Heated at 100°C for 10 minutes, cooled at RT 10 minutes, spun down and stored on ice.
Removed gel combs and added water to top to get rid of bubbles. Poured off water and emptied wells using a thin strip of whatman paper. Secured gels in electrophoresis rig, wells facing in. Filled with electrophoresis buffer. In far left well for each gel put in 5 µl ladder and in the next well put in 10 µl of A1 control. In the first gel (upper corner opposite latter cut off) put in 10 µl of each sample. In second gel (both corners opposite ladder cut off) put in 20 µl of sample. Fil rig halfway with electrophoresis buffer and ran gels for 10 min 40 mA constant/100V then 45 min 80 mA/200V. When gels are run, remove from molds and cut off the gel de concentration.
Cut 2 membranes to correct size and equilibrated: 15 s in MeOH, 1 min in H2O, >10 min transfer buffer on rotating platform. Soaked scotch brite (4) and whatman paper (4) in transfer buffer. Before sandwich assembly, equilibrated gels in transfer buffer (<10 min). For plastic sandwich holder, the black part is the bottom. Layer 1 scotch brite, 1 whatman paper, reversed gel (ladder on right, up is up), membrane, whatman, scotch brite. For the last 2 steps, roll out bubbles.
Assemble rig with black sides of sandwiches facing black part of rig. Add ice pack and stir bar. Fill with transfer buffer and place on stir plate. Run for 1 hour at 100 V/250 mA constant.
Unmake membrane sandwiches and cut membrane corners as gel corners are cut. Place membranes in PBS on rocker for 5 minutes. Then 2 successive 5 minute incubations of PBS with 1% Tween 20. Incubate with PBS + tween + 3% BSA at ~40°C for 1 hour on a rocker.
Wash with PBS+tween: 10 minutes then 2 times, 5 minutes each.
Incubated over night at 4°C with primary antibody (diluted 1/1000, 50 µl in 50 mL PBS+tween+BSA). The primary antibody is AMPK alpha phospho Thr 172 - binds to phosphorylated threonine in AMPKa.

Total protein concentration using the BioRad DC assay. First needed to determine the dilution factor for the pooled whole body samples. I diluted 3 samples (95, 38, 47) 1:2 to make further dilutions 1:5 (40 µl 1:2 + 60 µl H2O), 10 (20 1:2 + 80 H2O), 20 (10 1:2 + 90 H2O) and 40 (2.5 1:2 + 97.5 H2O). Standards are 0 µg BSA/ml, 250, 500, 750, 1000, and 1500. All samples are measured in triplicate. 5 µl of each standard or sample is aliquoted into 3 wells in a welled plate to go on the plate reader. 25 µl of solution A' is added to each well (A' = 1 ml solution A + 20 µl solution S). 200 µl of solution B is added to each well. Plate is gently agitated for 5 s on desktop and then left to incubate at RT for 15 minutes. Plate is then loaded into reader and KC4 software is used to analyze.

the samples diluted 20x fell in the middle of the curve. Diluted the rest of the extracted samples 1:20 by putting 5 µl of extracted protein in 95 µl water. Repeated same steps as above (had to use 2 plates to accommodate all the samples). A few samples had one well (out of 3) that did not change color yellow -> blue after 15 minutes so did not enter them as samples in the plate wizard. NB: the software automatically does not include replicates in the mean that are way far off the range of the other 2. Plate data saved as microtraces 1 & 2 18092013.

Query from yesterday never finished running so I killed it. Steven has a perl script that will do the same thing and he is going to fix table S6.
Working on pathway representation for manuscript. I'm playing around with ipath now. I've made a file of all the proteins expressed at least 5-fold different between treatments. Proteins that change in response to OA are in red, in response to mech stress at 400 µatm are blue, and in response to mech stress at 2800 µatm in yellow. If proteins change in response to more than one stress, they are the combination of those colors: OA + mech at 400 = purple, OA + mech at 2800 = orange, both mech = green, all 3 = black. If the proteins are expressed higher in the stress treatment(s), the lines are thickest. If they are expressed lower, the lines are thinnest. If they do not change in the same direction the lines are an intermediate weight.
Made another version of the same plot, but this time all proteins have same line weight and lighter lines represent down-reg and darker lines represent up-reg. If down vs. up is not consistent for proteins responding to >1 treatment, then color is dark.

Extraction of Yanouk's samples from 15 days of pesticide exposure (16 pooled spat per sample): 41, 42, 38, 39, 51, 54, 45, 50,104, 106 (104 and 106 were digested in lysis buffer today by YE)
Previously, Yanouk homogenized the tissue samples and incubated them in lysis buffer with protease inhibitors, phosphatase inhibitors, and NaPPi (sodium pyrophosphate, another phosphatase inhibitor).
Thawed samples on ice. Transferred to new tubes. Spun 1 hour, 3000xg, 4°C. Removed middle layer into 2 eppendorfs (except for 104 and 106, which had smaller volumes and were aliquoted into one tube). Centrifuged at 10,000xg, 45 minutes, 4°C. (Before centrifugations, centrifuges were precooled to 4°C.)
After centrifugation, if samples were in separate tubes they were combined into 1 5-mL tube, vortexed, and then aliquoted into 2 eppendorfs. Stored at -80°C.
Downloaded MKK2 sequences from multiple species/taxa. Exported as fasta to do alignment in ClustalX. Made tree in Geneious: cost matrix=Blosum62, gap open penalty = 12, gap extension penalty = 3, alignment type = global alignment with free end gaps, genetic distance model = jukes-cantor, tree build method = neighbor-joining, outgroup = none.
Tree can be found here:

The one species each from birds (duck) and reptiles (sea turtle) cluster together probably because there aren't enough representatives of each group to give good support.

Proteomics: Brest
We have decided to investigate GST and MAP kinase-activated protein kinase. Used pearson's correlation coefficient to determine which proteins change expression similarly to MAPKK. With a cutoff of |0.70|, 9 proteins are positively correlated with MAPKK and 0 are negatively correlated. Correlated proteins are: 3 unknown, aminoacylase 1, ras-related protein rab-10, annexin a7, tubulin beta chain, uncharacterized oxidoreductase YajO, lysosomal alpha-glucosidase.
To find MAPKK isoforms, uploaded blast output for entire proteome (see 9/9/13) to SQL and renamed columns. Selected data that only corresponded to MAPKK as query.
SELECT * FROM [emmats@washington.edu].[Brest_proteins_blastpout]
WHERE Query='CGI_10003308'
4 proteins have >40% identification with MAPKK (this is an arbitrary cut-off that I have selected, it seems pretty liberal). In Geneious, aligned these protein sequences with the MAPKK sequence. Only 2 of them really shared sequence similarity with MAPKK in its active regions (the first 200 aa). Neither of these proteins were identified in the experiment as being expressed. CGI_10026336 is a map kinase-activated protein kinase 5 (the one we have identified is MAPKK 2) and CGI_10012098 is calcium/calmodulin protein kinase 1.

Created list of proteins that show differences between treatment groups from OA/mech stress experiment (
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An4PXFyBBnDEdC1VZWNGaGhIbmZjQnFrX3dhaHB0N0E#gid=0). These proteins have a good e-value (low), are expressed across multiple oysters, and are interesting physiologically. Entered entire protein sequences into Geneious (proteomics > Brest) and created a database of the C. gigas proteome (v9). Searched each protein sequence agains the entire proteome to look for isoforms with the following paramters: blastp, max hits = 20, max e-value = 1e-10, word size = 3, matrix = BLOSUM62, gap cost = 11 1, # CPUs = 1.
The first search of alpha L-fucosidase returned 13 results. The first 3 include the actual sequence and 2 very similar sequences (e-value =0). However, the 10 other sequences look pretty different from the query and I'm having a hard time deciding what a "true" isoform is. I'm going to think about this....
Aligned alpha L-fucosidase with the entire proteome using geneious alignment: cost matrix = Blosum62, gap open penalty = 12, gap extension penalty = 3, global slignment with free end gaps, refinement iterations = 2. This didn't work because there was not enough memory.

Secondary stress: proteomics
Based on the Venn diagram (8/19/13), there are 7 proteins that are shared between the two mechanical stress responses that are not shared with the OA response. All of these proteins change expression in the same direction for the two mechanical stress responses (at different pCO2). Two of them were unnanotated and both of these were down-regulated: CGI_1004918 and CGI_10027073. Prohormone-4, kyphoscoliosis peptidase (cytoskeleton), and SAM domain and HD domain-containing protein 1 (immune) were all expressed less after mech stress. Apolipophorin (lipid transport), and 60S ribosomal protein L13 were both expressed more after mech stress.

Made a file of proteins that are at least 5-fold different (including proteins that are expressed in only one treatment and not the other). This is 339 proteins across all 3 treatment comparisons. Not all of these proteins were annotated with SPIDs which could bias downstream analyses.

Removed proteins from dataset that are expressed in only one oyster. This does not represent true differential expression, but rather may reflect an anomalous oyster. This results in 69 proteins expressed higher in response to mechanical stress at 2800 µatm and 53 proteins expressed lower. 64 proteins are elevated in response to ocean acidification and 56 are decreased at least 5-fold. 47 proteins are higher in response to mechanical stress at 400 µatm and 54 are lower.
Proteins expression values were log-transformed before making heat maps. Euclidean distance was used to cluster rows (proteins) and columns (oysters). For OA response, low and high pCO2 oysters clustered within treatment groups. Below is the heat map for response to ocean acidification. Oysters labeled NSAF.CG2-11 are high pCO2 are NSAF.CG221-230 are low pCO2.

https://sqlshare.escience.washington.edu/sqlshare#s=query/emmats%40washington.edu/NSAF%20avg%20SpC%20with%20fold%20change
NB: this file is problematic because the 1e-20 will have skewed the average expression values which are used for the fold change. To use need to go back and add 1e-20 after expression is averaged.
Used this file to create a list of proteins that are at least 2-fold differentially expressed between treatment groups. Joined this list with SPIDs and gene descriptions. Used DAVID to find enrichment of functional groups in the >2-fold differentially expressed proteins. There were no groups enriched for mechanical stress response at 400 µatm. Enriched groups for the ocean acidification response were homophilic cell adhesion, transcription, morphogenesis of embryonic epithelium, and regulation of transcription. At 2800 µatm response to mech stress, the enriched groups were polysaccharide metabolic process, transcription, vitamin metabolic process, regulation of catabolic process, regulation of protein catabolic process, neuromuscular process, polysaccharide biosynthetic process.
These results are not too different from the 5-fold differentially expressed proteins (see 8/14/13), but fewer categories are enriched.
Identified enzymes involved in glycogenolysis (and glycogenesis) in sequenced proteins. 11 enzymes in this pathway were identified. See diagram below. Summary: glycogen synthase and glycogenin (involved in glycogen synthesis) are downregulated whereas hexokinase and glycogen synthase kinase are upregulated. however, not all proteins are obviously up- or down-regulated in each pathway, but there may be a trend towards increased glycogen catabolism. The major player is catabolizing glycogen, the debranching enzyme, is down-regulated, but not hugely (only ~2.5x lower at high pCO2). The inhibitor of glycogen synthase (glyc. syn. kinase) is highly upregulated.

using qprot to find differentially expressed proteins
Downloaded and installed GNU (
http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/).
./configure
make all
sudo make install
Then navigated to qprot 1.2.2 folder and did sudo make all. In qprot bin folder ran: ./qprot-param qspecOA 2000 10000 1.
Got Segmentation error after running above code.
NB: command line does not seem to want <>, extension on input file, or indication of number of threads to run.
Continuation of analysis of NSAF data for spec counts averaged across technical replicates.
In Excel, got p-values for differential expression between 400 and 2800 µatm and ran through q-value in R. One protein had a q-value ~0.008 and another had a q-value ~0.08, all others >0.3.
To get fold change, found average expression within each treatment group. If average was 0, changed to 1E-20 (minimum average for each treatment group - 400 and 2800 µatm - was E-6). Divided average expression between treatment groups to get fold change. 193 proteins were expressed >5-fold more at 2800 µatm and 175 were expression >5-fold less at 2800 µatm. For mechanical stress at 400 µatm, 190 were up-regulated at least 5-fold and 192 were down-regulated at least 5-fold. 2 proteins had q-value = 0.05 in response to mech stress, the rest were >0.46. 205 proteins were >5-fold upregulated in response to mech stress at 2800 µatm and 168 were >5-fold down-regulated. 9 proteins had a q-value <0.07 (5 were <0.05) in response to mechanical stress at 2800 µatm.

To create an input file for qspec, uploaded all proteins (n=1616) that pass spectral count cutoffs to SQLshare. Joined with protein lengths and average SpC per protein. Still couldn't get qspec online to accept my input file and could not get the command line to work.
In R, plotted expression at high pCO2 against low pCO2 with 95% CIs and line of best fit. This is to identify potentially differentially expressed proteins. I'm not sure why so many proteins fall outside the 95% CI polygon, more to come...

Continued analysis of NSAF data with technical replicates separated so n=12 per treatment instead of n=4. There was a significant proteomic shift between treatment groups using this approach (p<0.05 ANOSIM).

Redid workflow to produce NSAF based on average of spectral counts across technical replicates instead of summing them. In Excel, deleted any NSAF values (per oyster) for proteins that had <2 unique peptide matches (1616 proteins). With this new calculation of NSAF (tech reps averaged fo
r each oyster) there is no significant difference in proteome expression between treatment comparisons (ANOSIM p>0.05).

Proteins contributing to trend in OA response = tubulin alpha, serine/threonine protein phosphatase, aldose reductase-related protein 2, peroxiredoxin-5, Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor beta, unknown (annotated as SOD but evalue is a little > 1E-10). All proteins except for possible SOD (2-fold upregulated) have almost the exact same expression between treatment groups.
Proteins contributing to trend in mech stress response at 400 µatm = tubulin alpha, triosephosphate isomerase, universal stress protein, 40S ribosomal protein, outer dense fiber protein, golgi-associated plant pathogenesis-related, isocitrate dehydrogenase, cytochrom b6, fatty acid-binding protein, ADP-ribosylation factor 2, coactosin-like protein, glutathione S-transferase, guanine nucelotide-binding protein, 2 unannotated (1 is possible SOD). Except for coactosin-like and SOD, all proteins were either slightly down-regulated or showed no real change in expression.
Did ANOSIM on proteins significantly loaded. No significant differences between treatment (p>>0.05).
All treatment comparisons show fold changes over 5-fold, however none of these differences are significant when corrected for multiple comparisons.
Calculated q-values for the different treatment comparisons. All q-values >0.8 except at 2800 mechanical stress response where all are >0.2.
NMDS without combining technical replicates. Joined together file of spec counts for each technical replicate with file that has proteins with at least 2 unique peptide IDs and at least 8 spec counts across replicates. For now I am going to ignore that 2 unique peptide rule and just keep proteins that have at least 8 spec counts.

Secondary stress: Proteomics
Skyline is not suitable for my proteomics data so I am switching back to NSAF. I did a complete workflow for the NSAF data in SQL. Briefly, all tech rep files for each oyster were joined and then filtered to keep only proteins that had at least 2 unique peptides. Spec counts were summed across all biological replicates and only proteins with at least 8 spec counts across all reps were kept in the dataset. NSAF was calculated. See google doc NSAF workflow for more detailed explanations and links to files in SQL.

Did NMDS using bray-curtis dissimilarity on log(x+1) transformed data for the 1956 proteins. Below are the results. All treatment comparisons completely overlap (no proteome expression difference between treatment groups). There is still a bit of a trend towards separation between treatments for OA comparison and mech stress at low pCO2, but complete overlap at high pCO2 (however p>0.05 for all ANOSIM at 1956 protein level). I need to do next step and see if any highly loaded proteins are significant for ANOSIM.
Plots are in order: 400 vs 2800 µatm, 400 µatm mech stress, 2800 µatm mech stress.

With the same cut-offs for significance for loadings as before (p-value < 0.01, MDS2 loading >0.9), 35 proteins contribute to the OA response, 37 proteins contribute to the mechanical stress response at 400 µatm, and 28 contribute to mech stress response at 2800 µatm (although the groups almost completely overlap on the NMDS). ANOSIM at level of all 2677 proteins is still not significant for all 3 treatment comparisons.

To calculate q-values for all the proteins I did t-tests between treatments: 400 vs. 2800, 400 with mechanical stress, and 2800 with mechanical stress. 24 proteins were differentially expressed in response to OA (q-value <0.20), 9 were differentially expressed in response to mech stress at 400 µatm, and 0 were differentially expressed in response to mech stress at 2800 µatm. Joined these differentially expressed proteins with swissprot IDs and gene descriptions.

For response to mech stress at 400, all 10 proteins are down-regulated (1.5-2.7 fold). For response to OA, 5 proteins are up-regulated (2.4-5.6 fold) and 57 are down-regulated (1.1-5.9 fold).
I redid the NMDS with the new data. The plots look pretty much the same .

citric acid/krebs cycle investigation
Some of the proteins that had highly significant loadings in the NMDS of 400 vs. 2800 µatm oysters are involved in the citric acid cycle. TCA produces CO2 and electron donors for oxidative phosphorylation in the e- transport chain that synthesize ATP. Citrate synthase and isocitrate dehydrogenase were both down-regulated and significant for the NMDS. Malate dehydrogenase was identified as a protein in the gill proteome but its expression was not affected by pCO2. Downstream of the cycle, NADH dehydrogenase (transfers e- to respiratory chain) was also down-regulated as well as mitochondrial ATP synthase, which were both implicated as important to OA response in the NMDS. Succinyl-CoA ligase subunit B, mitochondrial catalyzes a reaction in the opposite direction in TCA and was also down-regulated, but was no implicated in the significant loadings for the NMDS. Both malate dehydrogenase (CGI_10015004) and succinyl-CoA ligase (CGI_10003696) had eigenvector p-values <0.05 but >0.01 of 0.03 and 0.50, respectively. They also had strong, positive loadings on the second MDS axis of 0.82 for malate dehydrogenase and 0.62 for succinyl CoA ligase. Qvalues for each were 0.60 (MD) and 0.30 (SCL).

Took file created May 15, 2013 that joined proteins significant from NMDS with KEGG IDs. Going to create 1 input file for iPath2 for significant proteins from OA response and mechanical stress response at low pCO2. Proteins that are differentially expressed >10-fold have a line width of 100, >5-fold have width 75, >2-fold have width 50, and <2-fold have width 25. For pCO2 response, proteins expressed less at high pCO2 are highlighted in yellow and those expressed more at high pCO2 are highlighted in orange. Proteins expressed more during mech stress at 400 µatm are in dark blue and those expressed less are in light blue. Only proteins with e-values from blast >1E-10 are used.
This didn't end up working very well so I'm going to stick with the original iPath2 output for now (treatment responses on separate plots).

Calculating q-values associated with false discovery rate for differential expression between treatments (see 7/2 and 7/3/13). Based on Storey 2002 (
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1111/1467-9868.00346/asset/1467-9868.00346.pdf?v=1&t=hj5vvfya&s=3d50dcd3825c0a5c826fc723ebf74863174bcf1d) and using
definition of qvalue from the paper: "minimum pFDR [positive false discovery rate] that can occur when rejecting a statistic with a value t for the set of nested rejection regions"
Also of use, Storey & Tibshirani 2003, Statistical significance for genomewide studies:
"The q value for a particular feature is the expected proportion of
false positives incurred when calling that feature significant. Therefore, calculating theqvalues for each feature and thresholding them
at q-value level produces a set of significant features so that a
proportion of is expected to be false positives. Typically, the p
value is described as the probability of a null feature being as or
more extreme than the observed one. ‘‘As or more extreme’’ in this
setup means that it would appear higher on the list. The q value of
a particular feature can be described as the expected proportion of
false positives among all features as or more extreme than the
observed one"
"In our analysis, thresholding genes with q values 0.05 yields 160
genes significant for differential expression. This means that 8 of
the 160 genes called significant are expected to be false positives."
"In the example
presented above MSH2 has a qvalue equal to 0.013. This value does
not imply that MSH2 is a false positive with probability 0.013.
Rather, 0.013 is the expected proportion of false positives incurred
if we call MSH2 significant."
Bioconductor's qvalue package:
Alan Dabney, John D. Storey and with assistance from Gregory R. Warnes (). qvalue:
Q-value estimation for false discovery rate control. R package version 1.32.0
I ran the code as indicated in the manual but 3 of my plots are blank for the pCO2 p-values. Everything worked for the other comparisons (LowMS and HighMS).
If I choose a q-value cut-off of 0.2 (which seems very liberal), then 64 proteins would be called significantly differentially expressed between 400 and 2800 µatm, but 12.8 (13) of these would be false positives. For response to mechanical stress at 400 µatm, 10 proteins would be differentially expressed with a total of 2 false positives. No proteins would be differentially expressed in response to mech stress at 2800 µatm. With this q-value cutoff, calcium/sodium exchanger 3 and UTP-1-glucose-phosphate uridylyltransferase are no longer considered differentially expressed.
Below is the output from qvalue for mech stress response at 400 µatm comparison between treatments.

197 proteins are differentially expressed in mechanically stressed oysters at 2800 µatm (p-value for t-test <0.50). 10 of these are more highly expressed in stressed oysters (all less than 4-fold) and 187 are down-regulated in stressed oysters (5 of these are > 10-fold down-regulated: Zinc finger MYND domain-containing protein 12, sodium/calcium exchanger 3, UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, uncharacterized protein C45G9.7 in C. elegans, PITH domain-containing protein GA19395). Both Na/Ca exchanger and UTP-glucose-etc. were expressed significantly higher at 2800 compared to 400 µatm, so their down-regulation during mechanical stress is interesting (see 7/2/13).
Explored the correlation between spec counts and NSAF. Ranked each protein for both methods of counts so that 1 = greatest expression value. See plot

I did a type 2, 2-tailed t-test of the Skyline data for 2800 vs 400 µatm and stress vs unstressed at 400 µatm. Not all of the highly up- or down-regulated proteins (see 7/1/13) were significantly differentially expressed. 295 proteins were differentially expressed in response to OA (p<0.050), 23 of these are expressed highly at 2800 µatm compared to 400 and 272 are expressed less at 2800 µatm. Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(s) subunit alpha is significantly differentially expressed (23-fold lower at 2800 µatm, p=0.014) as well as sodium/calcium exchanger 3 (40-fold higher, p=0034), and UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (13-fold higher, p=0.036).
272 proteins are differentially expressed in response to stress at 400 µatm, 9 are expressed highly during mechanical stress and 263 are less expressed during stress. None of the highly differentially regulated proteins (see 7/1/13) are significantly differentially expressed.

Secondary stress: proteomics
Further investigation into Skyline data. I am working on comparing Skyline and NSAF results.
For all the Skyline proteins that contributed to a stress response (either high pCO2 or mech stress at 400 µatm), I made up-down plots showing the expression of each protein (summed across biological replicates). Bars in blue are proteins that are upregulated in the treatment condition and red are proteins that are downregulated.
![external image up-down%20pCO2%2057%20proteins.jpg external image up-down%20pCO2%2057%20proteins.jpg](http://eagle.fish.washington.edu/oyster/proteomics/up-down%20pCO2%2057%20proteins.jpg)
Across all proteins, for both NSAF and Skyline, I performed the following: [sum expression for high pCO2]/[sum expression for low pCO2]. The 3 proteins that were > 10-fold up-regulated at 2800 µatm were not ones that had shown up in the NMDS: sodium/calcium exchanger 3, vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 33A, UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase. The same was true for the 3 proteins that were down-regulated >10-fold in the Skyline data: pre-mRNA splicing factor 38A, aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10, guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(s) subunit alpha.
Out of the 20 proteins that were most up-regulated in the Skyline data for response to pCO2, only 3 of them were also upregulated in the NSAF data. Of the 10 proteins most up-regulated in the NSAF data, only 3 were also upregulated in the Skyline data.
Repeated the same steps for proteins expressed at 400 µatm + mech stress and 400 µatm (no stress).
![external image up-down%20low%20MS%2022%20proteins.jpg external image up-down%20low%20MS%2022%20proteins.jpg](http://eagle.fish.washington.edu/oyster/proteomics/up-down%20low%20MS%2022%20proteins.jpg)
Again, for the mech stress at 400 µatm like at the response to high pCO2, the NSAF results did not agree with the Skyline results. 1 protein was downregulated >10-fold in Skyling: Protein DEK; and 7 were upregulated >10-fold: microtubule-associated protein 2, megakaryocyte-associated tyrosine-protein kinase, Na/Ca exchanger 3, transcription elongation factor SPT5, 1,2-dihydroxy-3-keto-metylthiopentene dioxygenase, unidentified protein, sperm flagellar protein 2. The 4 proteins that were upregulated >5-fold in the NSAF data in response to MS were isoleucine tRNA ligase, muscle M-line assembly protein unc-89, dynamin-like 120 kDa protein, v-type proton ATPase subunit H.

Some of the data needs a little more attention, i.e. I think that allele 59 for the new data is actually 61 for the old data (I moved all of these over to the 61 bp allele column). The samples added are: CAS009_Hpa2, CAS010_Hpa2, DAB087_Hpa2, DAB088_Hpa2, DAB089_Hpa2, DAB090_Hpa2, DAB091_Hpa2, DAB092_Hpa2, DAB094_Msp2, FID093_Msp2, FID094_Msp2, DAB096_Msp2.
Checked precision of genotyping with the following samples for primer set 2: DAB093_Msp2, DAB095_Msp2, FID091_Mps2, FID092_Msp2, FID095_Msp2, FID096_Msp2, FID097_Msp2, FID098_Msp2, FID099_Msp2, FID100_Msp2. There was ~100% error rate in genotyping between the samples run on 4/1/13 and 6/19/13.

For primer 2 samples analysis = primer 2 ETS, panel = primer 2 0325, size standard = GS500 040113. No samples failed size standard. Genotyped all primer 2 samples and began analysis of primer 3 - edited analysis method as described 6/12/13 and ran analysis of samples. The samples include those also run 3/25/13. No samples for primer 3 failed size standard. Got through sample DAB093_Msp3 for adding and editing bins.

Select PCR using primer pairs 2, 3, 4. Meant to finish primer set 2, but accidentally used preselect PCR Msp template for the first 2 columns of the plate instead of Hpa (not a huge deal since I need to re-PCR some individuals to get error rate at some point anyway). PCR'd all samples for primer set 3, and first 16 for primer set 4. There wasn't quite enough AmpliTaq Gold left for 4, so those PCRs might be weak/not work. Used program PRESEL on thermalcycler.
Accidentally made too much master mix so there is a tube containing enough mix for 32 reactions (without taq or primers, amplitaq gold buffer was used).
Diluted the PCR in milliQ water (1:15, except for the last 2 columns - primer set 4 - which were diluted 1:10). Mixed 10 µl ROX 500 with 1490 µl formamide and aliquoted 15 µl to a new welled plate. Added 1 µl of diluted PCR product to the formamide/ROX. Ran on ABI 3730.

With all the primer 1 data in one spreadsheet, I grouped all the common alleles together so that they are in the same column for each sample. The total number of MSAFLP alleles is 125, ranging from 56-533 bp. Removed samples from dataset if they did not have data for both restriction enzymes (CAS007, CAS008, FID 093).
In SQLshare changed allele values to presence/absence (1/0) indicators using the following code:
SELECT Allele1, Allele2,...Allele125,
CASE WHEN Allele1>0 then 1 ELSE 0 END
AS Al1,
CASE WHEN Allele2>0 ELSE 0 END
AS Al2,....
AS AL125
FROM [table_Primer 1 data.txt]
From the binary data, made new columns for methylation status. For each sample, the 1st methylation status (methstat) column indicates whether the locus has the potential to be methylated, i.e. if the fragment is present in both enzyme digests then the sample is unmethylated at that locus, but if it is present in 1 digest or neither it is a potentially methylatable site. The second methstat column indicates if the locus is informative in terms of methylation status. If there is no band (both hpa and msp have a 0 in the column), then is it uninformative, but if one enzyme has a band and the other does not, then it is methylated.

The cut-off criteria for allele calls needs to be more stringent. 3% of max peak height still includes a lot of peaks that are not really peaks. I am adding 2 more filters to choosing peaks: an allele is a true allele if it is at least 10% of the height of the tallest peak (rounded down to the nearest integer); in clusters of adjacent peaks, the tallest is the only allele.
Edited analysis method for primer 1 so that common alleles are not deleted. Also provided cut-off for calling peaks. This only works with "Name alleles using labels". Click Edit labels and enter 400 and 600 as thresholds and 0, Check, 1 as Labels. This will result in no peaks under 400 RFU being called and peaks under 600 will need to be manually checked. Data exported as Primer 1 040113 Genotypes Table2. Repeated for primer 1 data from 3/25/13. Repeated the same steps for primer 2, including the data from 3/25/13 in the 040113 project.

Fragment analysis/epigenotyping of data run 4/2/13 (rerun of run from 4/1, projects are saved as prime 1 040113 and primer 2 040113).
For primer 1: analysis method = primer 1 ETS, panel = primer 1.2, size standard = GS500 040113.
The size standard is bad for samples DAB092_Msp1, DAB094_Msp1, and FID093_Msp1. None of these samples have any data in them so they will have to be rerun. I am deleting them from the project. I have also deleted all of the negative controls and blanks from the project (after ensuring that there was no spurious amplification in any of them).
Project was reanalyzed without the above samples. None of the size quality indicators were red (although about 1/3 are yellow).
For calling peaks, I am going to use the method outlined in Snell-Rood et al. 2013. All potential peaks will be called and then, based on peak heights, quality filtering will be performed outside of GeneMapper. I am still removing allele calls that are obviously not peaks. This means that a peak must have an obvious and clear sharp peak morphology to be called as a MSAFLP allele. Everything >500 bp is also deleted (although none of these resemble true allele peaks).
Added primer 2 samples from run 4/2/13 to project Primer 2 040113. Analysis method = primer 2 ETS, panel = primer 1 0325, size standard =GS500. Edited analysis method so that common alleles are not deleted. A lot of the size standards came back with warnings, so analyzed with GS500 040113 (does not have peaks for 250 or 340). Deleted the following samples from the project since they failed the size standard: CAS008_Msp2, DAB094_Msp2, FID094_Msp2, CAS008_Hpa2. FID093_Msp2 also did not amplify and needs to be redone.
Edited bins so that all allele peaks were included in a bin and saved panel (primer 2 0325). Reanalyzed data.
Exported the genotypes from primer 1 Hpa and Msp. Reformatted the data in Excel so that each allele is a row name and the column headers are individual samples (oysters) - the data in the cells are peak heights for each of the alleles. Checked to see if any called peaks are <3% of the maximum peak height for each sample (none of them were).

Secondary stress: transcriptomics
Dan helped me find the problem in my dataset "library reads mapped to isotigs", which is the file with the total mapped reads for each isotig. The numbers that were >999 have quotes around them in the file. I think this is because in Excel the format was set to "general" for the cells. I changed it to "number" and re-uploaded the file, redoing the last query from 6/7/13.
For some of the CGIDs, there are more than 1 matching isotig. Total reads for isotigs were summed within corresponding CGIDs.

Joined the above file (summed total reads per CGID) with the list of proteins that were significantly loaded along axis 2 in the proteomics NMDS, i.e. proteins that are responsible for expression differences between treatment groups. Out of the 107 proteins, only 30 of them have gene expression for RNA-Seq.

I want to look at the gene expression of the proteins that are highly significant for the differences in expression between treatment groups (see 5/14/13). I made a blast database of the C. gigas proteome sequences (Zhang et al. 2012 data).
./makeblastdb -in /Volumes/web-2/oyster/oyster_v9_aa_format1.fasta -dbtype prot -out /Users/Emma/Documents/gigas_rnaseq/CGID_proteindb
Then I did a blastx of all the RNA-seq isotigs (Isotigs_consensus_sequences.fasta, see 12/3 and 12/13/12) against the protein database to get associations between isotig contig numbers and CGIDs.
./blastx -num_threads 8 -out /Users/Emma/Documents/gigas_rnaseq/blastx_isotigswithCGIDs -db /Users/Emma/Documents/gigas_rnaseq/CGID_proteindb -outfmt 6 -evalue 1E-5 -max_target_seqs 1 -query /Users/Emma/Documents/Isotig_consensus_sequences.fasta

Heatmaps were made in R using pheatmap: clustering of samples (oysters) and variables (genes), average linkage clustering, euclidean distance, expression data are log+1 transformed. Not all the proteins from the proteomics data (this is just the subset with sig loadings in the NMDS) were represented in the RNA-seq data. Clustering did not follow treatment for any of the comparisons - only pCO2 is shown because that is really the only relevant one since no mechanically stressed oysters were sequenced using RNA-seq (although I looked at the expression of those genes as well). Expression levels at the transcriptomic level are different from expression levels at the proteomic level.

Secondary Stress: Buoyant weight
Created a new file that contains just data for BW for oysters at the beginning of the experiment and the end (29 days later). File name = oyster measurements BW.csv. Used this file to plot BW at the beginning and end of the experiment with 95% confidence intervals. Instructions and code for how to do this are from Cookbook for R (http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Plotting_means_and_error_bars_(ggplot2)/#Helper functions).
For the heat maps made 5/28, I annotated the groups of proteins. The pheatmap in R clusters proteins by similar expression profiles. I was trying to see if there were certain biological processes represented within those clusters. I looked at all the GO terms associated with proteins in each cluster and annotated those clusters with the most dominant processes found across multiple proteins.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics and buoyant weight
Did the same calculations for BW as I did previously for oyster length and width (see May 10, 2013). BW relative growth rate is greatest for oysters held at 400 µatm and least for oysters from 1000 µatm. 95% confidence intervals were also calculated using the following command in R: qnorm(0.975)*[stand dev of data]/sqrt(sample size). 95% were similar across time points for all 3 treatments.
Made heat maps of protein expression for proteins that are responsible for treatment response (see May 14, 2013) using pheatmap in R. Rows and columns are clustered using Euclidean distance and the average clustering method. Skyline expression data was log-transformed before use in the heat map. Below is an example from the pCO2 response data.

output file = TEST prot pep IDs
SELECT DISTINCT protein, [peptide sequence]
FROM [emmats@washington.edu].[prot data all]
3. FROM FILE OF ALL PROTEIN PEPTIDE ASSOCIATIONS, SUBSET ONLY THOSE THAT CORRESPOND TO PEPTIDES THAT HAVE A SINGLE PROTEIN MATCH - this maintains only informative peptides in the dataset
input file = TEST prot pep IDs (see step 2)
output file = protpeps
SELECT * FROM [TEST prot pep IDs] WHERE [peptide sequence] IN
(SELECT [peptide sequence]
FROM [emmats@washington.edu].[TEST prot pep IDs]
GROUP BY [peptide sequence]
HAVING COUNT (*) < 2)
4.
JOINS DATA FILE (SPEC COUNTS) TO FILE WITH ONLY PEPTIDES MATCHING TO A SINGLE PROTEIN
input files = prot data all (step 1), protpeps (step 3)
output file = joined prot data
SELECT protein,[peptide sequence],
SUM (CASE WHEN fileID=1 then [tot indep spectra] else 0 end)
AS data1,
SUM (CASE WHEN fileID=2 then [tot indep spectra] else 0 end)

FROM (
SELECT [prot data all].* FROM [emmats@washington.edu].[protpeps]
LEFT JOIN [prot data all]
ON [protpeps].[peptide sequence]=[prot data all].[peptide sequence])X
GROUP BY protein,[peptide sequence]
5.
FINDS PROTEIN ABUNDANCE BASED ON SPEC COUNTS BY SUMMING ACROSS DATA COLUMNS
input file = joined prot data (step 4)
output file = sum spec counts
SELECT protein, [peptide sequence], data1+data2 AS sumallspec
FROM [emmats@washington.edu].[joined prot data]
6. ORDERS PROTEINS BY SPEC COUNTS (DESCENDING) AND THEN KEEPS ONLY FIRST 3 PEPTIDES (MOST ABUNDANT) FOR EACH PROTEIN
input file = sum spec counts (step 5)
output file = top 3 abundant peptides
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER ()
OVER (PARTITION BY protein ORDER BY sumallspec DESC) AS pepabundance
FROM [emmats@washington.edu].[sum spec counts])x
WHERE pepabundance <= 3
To do next but not included in this workflow:
7. Join file top 3 abundant peptides (step 6) to file joined prot data (step 4) to create file of protein IDs, peptides, and data for individual oysters
8. Average peptide expression values for each protein so expression is on a per-protein basis (average across rows)
9. Average peptide expression values across technical replicates (average across columns)

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Did separate anosims for the highly significant proteins within their specific comparisons (see 5/14/13): low vs. low X MS, high vs. high X MS, low vs. high. The 57 proteins are differentially expressed between low and high pCO2 (p=0.027) and the 22 proteins are differentially expressed in response to MS at low pCO2 (p=0.03), but expression is not different for the 28 proteins in response to MS at high pCO2.

LEFT JOIN [table_Cgigas_proteomev9_kegg_match]
ON [Skyline daily with SPID].protein=[table_Cgigas_proteomev9_kegg_match].[Column1]
Peptide peak areas were averaged across technical replicates and then across biological replicates so that each treatment has an expression value associated with each KEGG term. There are 2365 unique KEGG terms represented by this dataset (kegg with skyline daily expressions.txt).
Met with Julian to talk about how to determine which proteins (eigenvectors) are responsible for separation between treatment groups along a specific axis in NMDS. In the vector output (loadings), MDS1 and MDS2 refer to loadings on specific axes (1 and 2, respectively). Narrow down important proteins by p-value (choose <0.05 p-value for the number of variables that I have) and choose vectors with the highest (abs. value) loadings on the axis of interest. These will be the tails of the distribution of loadings - the extreme "outlier" values. These are the most important variables. Can choose them based on % of total or based on overall number of proteins of interest. For displaying, can create just those vectors on the plot or can list the important variables at the axis corners. Do ANOSIM on these most important variables. Also compare with PCoA (bray-curtis, log-transformed) since this method has axes that are independent of each other and can easily be separated. Does PCoA show the same patterns as NMDS?
p-value cutoff for NMDS loadings (output of eigenvector loadings is in 3 peps per protein area avgd) = 0.0099
MDS2 cutoff > or = |0.90|
For high vs. low pCO2, 57 proteins are highly significant. For High pCO2 vs. high x MS 28 proteins are highly significant and for low pCO2 vs low x MS, 22 proteins are highlyt significant.

Secondary Stress: oyster measurements
Yesterday I made files of oyster length, width, and adjusted buoyant weight from the sampling data from 2/11/12. The files only include oysters from treatments of pCO2 400, 1000, and 2800 µatm. For the time 0 data point, there is n=48 oysters for each treatment. for the time 1 month data point, there are n=48 for length and width (heat shocked oysters were included) but only 24 for buoyant weight because there is not forceps correction for the HS'd oysters in the data sheet.
I am going to calculate the relative growth rate for length, width and buoyant weight from time =0 to 1 month later. This is based on the equation in Hoffmann & Poorter 2002 (
http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/90/1/37.full.pdf), where they found that taking the ln of all the weights in a group and then taking the average was less biased than taking the ln of the average. Also calculated 95% CI for lengths and widths at time 0 and 1 month exposure for all 3 treatments (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An4PXFyBBnDEdHZTTm5QU2dtOFB6cWRndVdnajhJZGc&usp=sharing).
Secondary Stress: Epigenetics
The MeDip procedure is taken from this paper: Guerror-Basagna et al. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0013100
Jen designed primers for the medip PCR for caspase-3, catalase, cathepsin B, MAPK, and superoxide dismutase (SR IDs 1522-1531). All PCR products have at least one CpG in them. I created a database in Geneious of the oyster genome (v9_90) and searched all the primers (individually) against it. The top hit by far for each primer was the sequence it was designed for. When primers had a decent hit to another sequence, it was never the entire sequence of the primer that aligned and the other primer in the pair did not align to that same undesired sequence.

From this information, chose 49 proteins that looked interesting. Looked up their descriptions in Uniprot and narrowed down the list of interesting proteins to: catalase, heat shock protein 70 B2, peroxiredoxin-6, 60 kDa heat shock protein mitochondrial, v-type proton ATP-ase catalytic subunit A, caspase-3, heat shock protein beat-1, mitogen-activated protein kinase 7, superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] chloroplastic, cathepsin F, v-type proton ATP-ase subunit G, programmed cell death protein 5, cathepsin B. From these proteins we (Jen) are going to design primers for medip qPCR. The sequence amplified needs to contain at least one CpG so that if methylation is present it can be detected. Amplified fragments can be up to 700 bp long.

2677 proteins are in the Skyline dataset. Averaged Skyline peptide areas across technical replicates. Made NMDS plots of all treatments together, low vs. high pCO2, low pCO2 vs. low MS, and high pCO2 vs high MS. ANOSIM showed no significant differences among proteomic profiles for the different treatments (although low vs. high pCO2 was p=0.06). Also found eigenvector loadings for each plot to determine significance of the contribution of each protein in contributing to the division of the objects (oysters) in multivariate space.

Using DAVID (GO BP_FAT) found biological processes that are enriched in the gill proteome vs. the entire proteome. The gene list (gill proteome) was the unique SPIDs used to annotate the 2,677 gill proteins and the background were the SPID annotations for the entire proteome (from Zhang et al.). Visualized in Revigo.
Based on the significant eigenvectors (p<0.05) for the low vs. high pCO2 NMDS, found enrichment versus the entire gill proteome.
Compared the list of proteins corresponding to significant eigenvectors for low pCO2 vs. low x MS and high pCO2 vs. high X MS. For the proteins unique to the high X MS response (i.e. were not shared between the 2 lists), found the enrichment of biological processes compared to the entire gill proteome.

Brendan gave me access to Skyline daily, a beta version of Skyline that has a lot of improvements compared to the public release. He had fixed it so that it would take all my data files. I set up all the settings today (see below, also saved in a text file) and imported all the raw data files. The library is called Oyster_proteins_daily. All of the v9 "interact" files were used to construct the library (the C. gigas v9 proteome was used in Sequest and only proteins with a probability of at least 0.9 were included - check that actually 0.9). In the spectral library explorer, clicked "add all" to ad all the peptides to the protein/peptide tree (did not include peptides that do not match the current filters). Selected all the peptides in the tree then Edit > Refine to remove duplicate peptides and empty proteins.

Extracted DNA from 6 oysters to do medip. These 6 oysters are part of the 16 that were used for proteomics in August 2012. Posterior gill tissue was used from high pCO2 sample numbers 101B2, 101B5, 101B8 and low pCO2 number 103B224, 103B227, and 103B230. Gill tissue was homogenized in 0.5 mL of DNazol using a sterile pestle. 0.5 mL more DNazol and 2.35 µl proteinase K were added and tubes were inverted to mix. Tubes were incubated on the rotating thingy overnight at room temperature.

The reason the data looked terrible yesterday was because the polymer in the ABI hadn't been changed recently. Bruce did maintenance and re-ran the plate. I still had to run the modified size standard without the 250 and 340 peaks because they were still low quality. Size quality failed for samples DAB092_Msp1, DAB094_Msp1, FID093_MSp1. Added some new bins to the primer 1 panel and saved as primer 1.2.

Made a dilution plate (1:15) of the primer 1 select PCR and columns 1-5 of the primer 2 select PCR (see 3/29/13). Ran this plate on the ABI 3730 as described previously.
The size standards were not very good on this run for some reason (I used the ROX 500, same as last time, so I'm not sure what went wrong). Went through and corrected the incorrect size standard peaks. The size standard was good for the last time I ran samples, so I will use the locations of these previous peaks to call the correct peaks this time (used data from 3/25/13).

the 35 bp peak is called incorrectly in at least one sample, so changed analysis method peak detector range to start at 940. The problem with the size standard seems to be at peaks 340 and possibly 250. Made new size standard (GS500 040113) without peak 340 and analyzed data. Also got rid of size standard peaks >400.
The MSAFLP data looks really bad too, so something went wrong.
I also looked at the data from primer set 2. The size standard also looks bad, especially at peaks 35, 250, 340, and >400. The MSAFLP peaks are also unreadable.

Made panels for primer sets 3, 4, and 5. In primer 5, the size standard peak for sample CAS002 at 150 bp is sloppy, but still called correctly. The same blobby peak shows up in the FAM dye in this sample.

Fragment analysis using GeneMapper. Ran analysis in software of all samples using the primer 1 ETS method. Size standard peaks were called correctly in all samples (off-size peak in beginning - primer dimer - was not called). The size standard peaks all overlay on top of each other. It also appears that all fragment peaks are well within the size limit (500 bp) of the standard.
4 of the samples have peaks that are slightly broader than accepted by the quality standards: CAS.002 Msp5, CAS.001 Msp 3, CAS.002 Msp4, CAS.002 Msp7.
Samples resulting from different primers really need to be analyzed separately otherwise there are too many bins.
For primer 1:
Manually removed and added bins so that only probable peaks are called.
Deleted allele calls that were of peaks that are either very very small and most likely not real or "shoulders" of real peaks (preceded real peaks).
This entire process is creating a panel of bins to streamline future analysis of fragments for this primer set. The panel is called "primer 1 0325". The other primer panels will similarly be named. Panel for primer 2 is also completed.

Learning Genemapper
The manual for AFLP analysis in Genemapper can be found here: http://www.icmb.utexas.edu/core/DNA/Information_Sheets/Genotype/GeneMapper_AFLP_Guide.PDF
My tutorial with the Genemapper example data is called "AFLP Tutorial2".
Began analyzing my own data from PCR plate 1. Imported all data from primer pair 1. Analysis Method is called "primer 1 ETS". I basically followed the tutorial instructions except for some changes, which I will include. in the analysis method editor, allele tab, analysis range is 50-1000 bp. Also in allele tab, chose "name alleles using bin names".
DAB.093, which didn't amplify on 3/1/13, did not show any peaks.
Incorrect size standard peak of 47 called on primer peak at ~1477. Followed instructions on p. 47 of manual to get rid of it. Re-analysis of the data after this got rid of all the yellow triangles in the OS column. All of the SQ column is still red, however (poor quality). This means that the size calling based on the standard (created custom standard called ROX 1000 with correct peak sizes for this standard) is of low quality. This seems to be because the size standard peaks are double peaks. I went through and made sure that the standard was caused for the first peak in the double for each one. Also, deleted the label for peak 946 because that is not within the range of the data.
None of this work, the ROX 1000 is kind of crap. I'm going to PCR 8 samples for all 6 of my primer pairs and run them with 500 ROX.
Did fluorescent select PCR of 8 samples for each of the 6 primer pairs (1,2,3,4,5,7). NB: regular amplitaq was used for primer pair 1, amplitaq gold was used for the rest.

To be included in analyses, each protein must have at least 2 unique peptide hits (in a single technical replicate) and at least 4 total spectral counts across all replicates. This ends up being 1044 proteins. For each oyster (total spec counts summed across technical replicates), calculated NSAF: (SpC/L)/(sum of all SpC/L for that oyster), where SpC = spectral count and L = protein length. Made plots of correlations between each oyster so that log(NSAF) of oyster A is plotted against log(NSAF) of oyster B for each protein for all 6 comparisons. Calculated R^2 values for the correlations with rSquared in R. Also plotted the 1:1 line in magenta on each of the correlation plots.

For peptides with Skyline expression values for the low pCO2 oysters, created a file similar to that created for high pCO2 2/28/13. Removed peptides that mapped to multiple proteins. Peak areas for technical replicates were averaged for each oyster. Based on the total peak area across all biological and technical replicates, retained only the 3 most abundant peptides for each protein.
Checked on the status of the KEGG blast - about 15,000 matches have been made so it is just over halfway done.
To further investigate correlations between spectral counts, uploaded files of spec counts per peptide for all low and all high pCO2 oysters to SQL and joined to a "backbone" of all unique peptides across all 8 samples.

Brendan helped me with Skyline to see if we can get it to analyze all proteins instead of the pre-selected 357. We still used the oyster proteins library previously created. The protein/peptide tree was populated with the entire C. gigas proteome (from the version 9 sequencing project). Peptides that did not match those in the library were removed. Also removed from the peptide tree were duplicate peptides (peptides that matched to more than one protein) and empty proteins. Raw file results were imported as single injections.

Took high pCO2 Skyline output from 12/11/12 and edited it to fit specifications of good analysis of skyline data: got rid of peptides mapping to multiple proteins and only kept top 3 abundant peptides for each protein. First got rid of all peptides with charge state > 2. Then created one column of peak areas for each oyster (technical replicates separate). Made a pivot table of the peptide sequences (count total) - there should only be 3 per peptide (peptides should not show up more than 1 time per technical replicate).

Plotted average FA proportions (each FA is represented as proportion of all FAs) for each of the FAs of interest by treatment. Treatment on the x-axis are in order: Low (400 µatm), Mid (1000), and high (2800). Did ANOVAs for each of these FAs and none were significant.
Secondary Stress:Proteomics
Made a heat map of the proteins that contribute to the high pCO2xMS response. Based on the loadings from the NMDS, determined which proteins were significant in the distribution of oysters in multivariate space for high pCO2 vs. high pCO2xMS. Did the same for low pCO2 and MS so that I could find the overlap of general MS response proteins (those proteins that were significant for MS response at both high and low pCO2). Used skyline peptide data as expression values and made a heat map (non-transformed and log-transformed expression data) for the proteins that were responsible for the oyster response to the combined stressor. The heat map isn't terribly informative so I am not including it here, but the R code is in the proteomics figures for ms script.

Downloaded metagenomics fasta file and did blastn (megablast) against ncbi nucleotide database.
./blastn -query /Users/Emma/Documents/module_7/sequences_module7.fa -db /Users/Shared/data/blast/db/nt -out /Users/Emma/Documents/module_7/metagen_blastn -max_target_seqs 1 -outfmt 6 -num_threads 8
In text wrangler, replaced all | with spaces. Uploaded the output file to galaxy and used metagenomics tools to retrieve taxonomic information based on the gene ID in column 3 (e.g. 160338813). On the resulting file, summarized taxonomic data. Most of the sequences are bacteria (9225), followed by Archaea (922), eukaryotes (628), viruses (544), and fungi (155). Drew phylogeny of taxonomic information (saved in evernote)

Secondary Stress: Shell
Got back the first round of shell data from Gary Dickinson. He did mass and length of both valves as well as nacre area ratio. He is working on hardness tests. For the left valve, the mass was slightly less at 1000 and 2800 µatm compared to 400 (the mean mass was the lowest at 1000), but the differences were not significant. The left valve length was longest at 1000, followed by 2800 and 400, but again not significantly so. The left valve nacre ratio was very similar between 400 and 1000, but lower at 2800 (NS). The mass of the right valve was greatest at 2800 and lowest at 1000 (NS). The right valve length was greatest at 1000 and lowest at 2800 (NS). The nacre area ratio was significantly different among treatments: highest at 1000 and lowest at 400.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
I am trying to determine which proteins are responsible for the different responses to mechanical stress at high and low pCO2. (This work is all saved in the folder "figures for NSA".) To do this, I first joined the lists of peptides (with SPID annotations) that had significant eigen vector loadings on the NMDS (for each pCO2 response to MS) together. I then determined which peptides overlapped between low and high pCO2 and which were unique in the MS response at each treatment. I compared these 2 lists at the protein level and determined which proteins were driving the differing responses at the 2 pCO2. These proteins were then annotated to the GO and GO Slim levels.

I deleted the 4 output files I made today and yesterday and joined methylated CGs, nonmethylated CGs, and exons to the mRNA file. Also joined the mRNA file to the all CGs file. To determine number of CGs, methylated CGs, and nonmethylated CGs, just added the counts in each of the files.

Enrichment analysis for differentially regulated genes from RPKM data. "Differentially regulated" = 2-fold up or down regulated in high vs. low pCO2 (this was done in excel by dividing the sum of expression at high pCO2 by the sum of expression at low pCO2). These data were then joined with Sigenae annotations from a blastn and SPID annotations of the Signae sequences from a blastx in SQLShare.

2 gene lists were used for DAVID: up-regulated at high pCO2 and down-regulated. The background was all the SPID annotations of the contigs. There were no enriched GO Categories in the up-regulated transcripts but there were 70 down-regulated GO categories. REViGO is currently down so cannot make a visualization.

Secondary Stress: Fatty Acids
(this analysis still does not have the new 237 data and oyster 300 was an outlier so is not included)
I redid NMDS and ANOSIM (see 2/6/13) using just fatty acids that are biologically important according to the literature. In the new analysis, the fatty acids included are: 16:0, 18:0, 18:1n-9, 18:2n-6, 18:3n-3, 20:5n-3, 22:4n-6, 22:5n-3, 22:6n-3. There is still no significant difference among the 3 treatment groups. This means that there is more variation due to individual oyster FA profile than due to treatment effect. Interesting note: the appearance of 18:1n-7 indicates bacterial consumption.

Added 175µl water to digestion-ligation that went overnight. Used this template to do a pre-select PCR (the protocol has been modified to use AmpliTaq). For each reaction: 4 µl digested DNA, 2.5 µl 10X AmpliTaq buffer (no MgCl2 added), 2 µl 10 mM dNTP, 0.2 µl AmpliTaq, 1.75 µl 50 mM MgCl2, 0.6 µl 10 µM preselect EcoRI primer, 0.6 µl 10 µM preselect H/M primer, 12.35 µl H2O (20 µl master mix and 4 µl template per well). Cycling parameters: 72 °C 2 minutes; 25 times 94°C 30s, 56°C 30s, 72°C 2 minutes; 60°C 30 minutes (saved as PRESEL on 96-well plate thermalcycler).
Made 1% agarose gel with EtBr. Mixed 10 µl of PCR product with 3 µl of Bioline 5x loading dye. Ran negative control for Msp and CAS.001 and DAB.087 for both Msp and Hpa. Gel ran for ~30 minutes at 100 V. Gel photo: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s242/sh/3672bf89-2caf-4501-aa46-9ad619826ca0/fc3a1962cbb52144fd1e4abc32bf292a
There were smears in all 4 samples and nothing present in the negative control.
Proceeded to select PCR. I am only PCRing a subset of samples to test out the select primer pairs. Mac previously ordered 7 primer pairs so I am making sure that they work well with Olys. Primer pairs are listed in the table below and each primer is designated by a specific 3-nucleotide tag. H/M TCG and TGC may be mixed up. Select PCR was done using the same recipe as preselect PCR and the same cycling parameters.

Finished 3 DNA extractions started yesterday. See 2/8/13 for details. There is still not pellet in DAB.091, but continued with extraction anyway. The 2 FID samples were resolubilized in 200 ul of water and DAB.091 with 100 ul. Nanodrop data
DAB.091 still has a very low concentration, but the other 2 samples are much better. Going forward I will probably analyze both extracted samples of DAB.091 and just the new FID.97 and FID.100.
Day 2 of MSAFLP protocol. Made dilutions of adapters in T4 ligase buffer:
Hpa/Msp adapters = 4.2 µl H/M adapter I, 4.2 µl H/M adapter II (both at 0.24 ng/µl), 5 µl 10x T4 ligase buffer, 36.6 µl H2O.
Eco RI = 3.7 µl Eco adapters I and II (at 0.27 ng/µl), 5 µl 10x T4 ligase buffer, 37.6 µl H2O.
Incubated adapter mixes at 95°C for 2 minutes and let cool for 45 minutes on benchtop. Realized at next step that I did not have enough of the H/M adapter, so I made 2x more batches of it as described above.
Made dilutions of T4 ligase and Eco RI adapter:
T4 ligase = 1 uL T4 ligase, 50 ul 10x T4 buffer, 449 ul H2O.
EcoRI adapter = 10 ul EcoRI (40 pm/ul, see above), 90 ul H2O
Digestion-ligation reactions were prepared in a PCR plate and details can be found in the digest-ligation tab of this
spreadsheet. Samples in bold had low DNA concentrations so the max volume possible (15 µl) was used for the reactions. NaCl was prepared from Mac's stock of 2000 mM (125 µl of Mac's Stock + 75 µl water). Samples are laid out in order on the PCR plate, starting with CAS.001 in A1 and a negative control in the last spot (H4) for MspI. HpaII digestions have the exact same layout except can be found in columns 5-8 on the plate.

Finished visualization of analysis done 2/5/13 - comparison of enriched processes in response to MS at 2 different pCO2 levels. Pie charts show the number of proteins that contribute to each enriched GO Slim category. There is very little difference between the 2 treatments.
NMDS of all proteomic samples shows that there are differences in the proteomic profiles of the LowMS and HighMS oysters, which may mean that responses to MS are different at the different pCO2. Dropped low abundance proteins and did log(x+1) transformation, bray-curtis dissimilarity coefficient. ANOSIM showed no significant difference between these 2 groups (R=0.05208, p=0.355). I redid the analysis without dropping low abundance proteins and got the same result.
Analysis of Skyline data - in Excel calculated average areas for peptides for each oyster. This was accomplished by creating pivot tables (1 for each oyster) with the protein-peptide name as the descriptor and the average total area (across technical replicates) as the value. Joined all of these tables together in SQLshare.

Began DNA extractions of oyster mantle tissue that Katie collected previously (n=10 oysters each from Case Inlet, Dabob Bay, and Fidalgo Bay). All tissues were subsampled except for DAB_90, DAB_95, and CAS_004, which were used in their entirety. 0.5 mL of DNazol was added to <100 mg of mantle tissue and homogenized with a sterile pestle. Then 0.5 mL more DNazol was added along with 2.35 µl proteinase K and tubes were mixed by manually shaking them. Extractions were incubated overnight on the shaker at room temperature.

I identified the peaks in all the chromatograms. Sample 237 chromatogram looks odd (missing a lot of peaks, really hard to score peaks that are there) - it may need to be diluted (when included in the NMDS it is obviously a far outlier). I will run it again next week. The current dataset does not contain samples 237, 300, or 9. (Sean re-ran 300 and 9 last night.) For each oyster, I divided each peak area by the total peak areas for all identified fatty acids. This gives the relative proportion of each fatty acid. This dataset was log(x+1) transformed and NMDS was performed using a Bray-Curtis dissimilarity coefficient. ANOSIM was also performed to assess significance of treatment on FA profile. There was no significant difference among groups. The first NMDS shows loading that are significant at the p<0.01 level. The next step will be to focus on specific FAs of interest (based on the literature) and do ANOVAs.

Below is the pie chart showing the enriched GO Slim categories for this dataset. The pie was constructed from the number of contigs that contributed to each enriched GO Slim term.
Did the same enrichment analysis as described yesterday - enrichment of significant loadings for the proteomic NMDS that does not include low abundance proteins. This time, I selected the Kegg Pathway output to look at the pathways that are overrepresented in this dataset. 10 pathways were enriched: glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, fructose and mannose metabolism, ribosome, citrate cycle (TCA cycle), proteasome, cardiac muscle contraction, galactose metabolism, butanoate metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation.
Using NMDS and loadings of proteins on the NMDS axes, I am doing a comparison of the effects of pCO2 on response to mechanical stress (MS). I did NMDS for isolated pCO2 groups, i.e. highpCO2 and highpCO2 + MS.

Sean helped me identify peaks in my results so that I know which fatty acids I'm looking at. I also got all of my raw data off the computer in CEE and onto Eagle. I need to go through all 24 samples and identify the peaks so that I can compare relative amounts of specific fatty acids among treatments. 2 of the samples need to be re-run: 300 and 9. 300 had a lot of extra peaks, possibly due to being too concentrated. I diluted it 1:1 in hexanes to rerun. 9 was run right after 300 and looks fine except one peak is much fatter than it should be and so cannot be reliably quantified. This could be an artefact of being run after a concentrated sample or it could be because 9 was the sample that I added too much H2SO4 to and had to modify its extraction.

The blastx I ran on Friday (2/1) finished without any errors but the output file does not seem to exist anywhere so I am using SR's blastx results for the transcriptome backbone. In SQLshare, I joined the blastx results with the DESeq results from 2/1/13. I used the entire list of SPIDs that matched to contigs as the backbone for DAVID (v 6.7) and the SPIDs that corresponded to differentially expressed contigs as my gene set (adjusted p-value less than or equal to 1E-5). Redundant SPIDs were removed from both lists. I uploaded these lists to DAVID and downloaded the chart for Gene Ontology GOTERM_BP_FAT. I entered the GO numbers and associated p-values in revigo to visualize the enriched GO biological processes in the differentially expressed genes (n=56). Many of the enriched processes are involved in reproduction, which makes sense since I compared male and female samples.

Results from GC-FID run yesterday look good. All FA peak sizes are <100 (as measured on the y-axis), which indicates that the samples do not have to be diluted. Printed results.
Began GC-FID of next 8 samples.

Secondary Stress: Fatty Acids
Finished transmethylation of samples run yesterday. Chose 8 samples (3 each from first 2 extraction days and 2 from today) to run overnight on the GC-FID. The program used to run the samples is called FAMES4.
Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Created a file of the summed spectral counts for GO terms. Only those proteins that had a blastx result of less than or equal to 1E-5 were included. Made sure to get rid of redundancy in protein-GO term pairings. Based on ANOSIM, there is no difference in the proteome from pCO2, MS, or a combination of the 2. This is different from the same analysis done earlier with an older version of GO associations.

Bioinformatics: Assignment 3
Hummingbird had to be rebooted, so I re-ran the code from yesterday with one change: decreased the jellyfish memory from 20,000 G to 2,000 G.
Hummingbird does not have enough disk space to run Trinity
I downloaded the data file and trinity to the mac mini. I entered the exact same code as I did on Hummingbird (using 2,000 G for jellyfish memory) and I got the error below.
Can't exec "/Users/Emma/Desktop/trinityrnaseq_r2012-10-05/trinity-plugins/jellyfish/bin/jellyfish": No such file or directory at ./Trinity.pl line 1311.

I forgot to run "make" to set up the trinity app. After doing that, Steven got the code to work and it is running.
With Claire, I started an assembly of the same data on CLC. We tried trimming it first, but trimming just got rid of >99% of the data, so we are assembling the untrimmed reads with a minimum contig length of 200 (see her notebook for more details).

Secondary Stress: Fatty Acid
Started next group of fatty acid extractions, samples = Exp2.9, 24, 228, 231, 234, 294, 300, 306. Took samples all the way through incubation at 50°C overnight (in transmethylation procedure). Samples sat for ~1 hour before being sonicated the first time because someone else was using the sonicator. For the 2 mL addition of 1% H2SO4 in MeOH (transmethylation procedure), the pipette lost its vacuum and 10 mL fell into sample 9. Tomorrow I will divide this sample into 3 separate tubes and continue the extraction on all 3, combining the separate fractions at the end.
Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Made venn diagrams to compare biological variation within treatments. Used 3 of the 4 oysters for each treatment and figured out in how many oysters each protein was identified. Used EulerAPE to make the venns. Only the venn diagrams for high pCO2 + MS and low pCO2 + MS were exact. The venn diagrams pretty much looked the same across treatments. The one for high pCO2 + MS is below. Proteins used had at least 10 spectral counts across all oysters.
Used Venny to create a diagram comparing the proteins identified across all 4 treatments. Proteins used for the Venn had at least 10 spec counts across all oysters.

Finished file preparation for venn diagrams (see 1/21/13).
Uploaded Mouse Genome GO Slim file to Galaxy (http://www.informatics.jax.org/gotools/data/input/map2MGIslim.txt).
Created a file of all spec counts (summed across tech reps for each oyster, at least 10 spec counts for each protein) to join with new GO annotations. SPID annotations are from previous blastx (file = Cg proteome db evalue -10). Joined with SPIDs, new GO file (1/18/13) and new GO Slim file.

Secondary Stress: Fatty acid
First round of fatty acid extractions on freeze-dried samples (1/15/13): Exp2.3, 12, 21, 237, 240, 303, 312, 297. Followed protocol uploaded 1/10/13. Before weighing out 2.5 mg of freeze dried tissue, mixed the samples around to try to get a representative sample of all that was homogenized. Sample 21 broke in the centrifuge after the first fraction had been removed (i.e. after addition of 2.7 mL chloroform). Continued with extraction of just the 1 fraction of 21 but may re-extract it later since the second fraction does contain a good concentration of FAs, although the first has the large majority. Left samples in 50°C water bath overnight.
Secondary Stress: Proteomics
I am making Venn diagrams to show the overlap in proteins identified across technical replicates. For each oyster (3 technical replicates), I created a backbone of non-redundant protein IDs that were sequenced across all replicates. I then joined each replicate file to the backbone and kept only proteins that had at least 3 spectral counts across the 3 tech reps. I found the number of proteins that were identified in all 3 replicates, those that were in just 2 replicates, and those found in a single replicate. So far I have only done this for oysters 101B2, 5, 8, and 11 because Galaxy has stopped working. I used eulerAPE to make the venn diagrams. For all 4 oysters so far, the venns were inexact. An example (for 101B11) is below. While making the input files for the venn diagrams, I found that files 101B11_01 and 101B11_03 had not been edited correctly and so previous analyses using these files might be incorrect (the protein ID column still had multiple proteins per cell, separated by commas).

Secondary Stress: Proteomics and RNA-Seq
Continuation of acquiring and editing new GOA files. Uploaded both information and association files from EMBL into Galaxy (selected "tabular" as file format, this is necessary to make Galaxy recognize columns). for the gp_information file, cut the first 18 lines of the file. Then removed columns 1, 2, 7,8,9,10, and 11. Named this file swissprot gene information 011813. Removed the first 19 lines (header) of the gp_association file and edited the file so that only the columns containing the SPID and GO term remained (swissprot goa 011813).
Bioinformatics: Assignment 2
Joined blastx file with new swissprot info and GOA files (see above). Exported and created file of just the GO terms - uploaded this file to cateGOrizer.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics and RNA-Seq
Created a new history in Galaxy: Cg proteomics - new GO. I am going to use the new GO and SPID files downloaded yesterday to re-annotate and analyze some of the files used for the RNA-Seq and proteomics analysis. I want to make sure my annotations are up to date for the manuscript. The gene information file that I removed the header from yesterday does not maintain the integrity of its columns when uploaded to Galaxy. I am uploading the original file from EMBL and will manipulate it in Galaxy to get the format correct.
Attempt of pathway analysis using R package CePa. Tried both methods of pathway analysis as outlined in publication (Gu & Wang 2013): gene set analysis (GSA) and over-representation analysis (ORA). For GSA, used SPID annotations to identify proteins. The data used have already been filtered to have at least 10 spec counts across replicates. If multiple proteins matched to the same SPID, the spectral counts were summed. The final spreadsheet (all protein spid expression for CePa.csv) has SPIDs as row names and individual oysters as column headers. There were no significant pathways identified for a comparison between high and low pCO2. Also did the GSA for the effect of MS Across both pCO2 treatments and the effect of MS at just ambient pCO2: there were no significant pathways. For the ORA, used the enriched gene sets identified on 12/11/12. Ran CePa for all gene sets - genes enriched at high pCO2, during MS at high pCO2, at ambient, and ambient MS. There were no significant pathways. R code can be found in my evernote (

I'm going to re-do heat maps for transcriptomics and proteomics using only genes/proteins that contribute significantly to differentiation between treatment groups. Made a file of the proteins that are significant for the proteomics (without low abundance proteins) NMDS at the 0.05 and 0.01 levels. In Galaxy, joined this file to a file with spec counts across all biological replicates.

Removed samples from freeze dryer and put lids back on. A chunk of sample 24 was lost (it looked like gill and mantle). Homogenized the freeze dried tissues with a pestle, rinsing with EtOH and nanopure water between samples (followed by drying pestle thoroughly on a clean kimwipe). Stored samples at -20C.

Continuation of Part B from 1/9/13. Instead of trying to do a tblastn, will translate the database (unknown contigs from part A) and do a blastp. Uploaded fasta of contings to Galaxy. Used the emboss tool transeq to make protein sequences from the nucleotide sequences: all 6 frames, standard code (defaults for other options). Filel = transeq on unknown transcriptome 31545.fasta.
Made blast database from the translated transcriptome.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Downloaded gene information and gene association files from EMBL (www.ebi.ac.uk/GOA/downloads.html). I will use these files to redo the GO analyses for the transcriptomics and proteomics that I plan on including in the manuscript. The gp information file gives the gene name/annotation for the swiss prot IDs. The gene association file gives the GO terms associated with each SPID. In the gp info file, there is an 18-line header that probably wouldn't mesh well with Galaxy. I can't delete it in excel or text wrangler because the file won't load completely in either application. It opens in text edit, but the app crashes every time I try to delete something. I ended up reading the file into R, skipping the first 18 lines, and then exporting it as a tab-delimited file. This is pretty inelegant because there are a number of columns that are useless (including 3 blank ones at the end of the file), but I can't figure out how to get rid of them.

Morgan Bond helped me set up the freeze dryer to freeze dry my oyster tissues. My original plan was to do just the digestive gland, but most of my oysters were too small to subsample the DG effectively so I am doing the whole body tissue (minus the gill which was previously sampled for transcriptomics and proteomics). For 400 uatm I am using samples 3*, 6*, 9*, 12*, 15, 18, 21, and 24 (*denotes an oyster also sequenced for proteomics). For 1000 uatm I am using samples 291, 294, 297, 300, 303, 306, 309, 312. For 2800 uatm I am using samples 219, 222*, 225*, 228*, 231*, 234, 237, and 240. Samples were kept on dry ice until they were placed in the freeze dryer. To use the freeze dryer, turn on (switch in back), put plastic cylinder on top, and then press "condense button" (this cools it down). Place the metal tray on top of the cylinder and put the rubber gasket on the lid. Place the samples on the tray (my samples are in 2 mL screw cap tubes with the lids removed) and put the lid over the tray. Press "vacuum" to bring the pressure down. Shortly after pressing "vacuum" one of the samples (24) popped out of its tube so we stopped the vacuum and put it back in. After starting up again about 6 samples started poking out of their tubes, but only one eventually came out the entire way (sample 225). Sam noted that if I had poked holes in the tube lids then the air still could have escaped but the tissue would have been trapped.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Research into how to represent relationships among proteins in response to OA stress (i.e. pathway analysis). On the raw total counts (summed across tech reps for each oyster, at least 10 spec counts for protein to be included) made a Pearson's correlation coefficient matrix. Plotted the matrix in R using levelplot in lattice.

This graph isn't very easy to read and you can't see any pattern among the proteins. I've looked a bit in other papers and it seems that if pathway analysis is done, the authors use IPA. This has been done in non-model vertebrates (pied flycatchers, whitefish), but not in invertebrates. In bees, a pathway was constructed but just out of the few proteins that were highly correlated with behavioral traits of interest. I could go a similar route and try to make a pathway from the proteins that are differentially expressed due to ocean acidification and/or mechanical stress.

On Mac mini opened terminal and navigated to ncbi blast application (cd /Users/Shared/Apps/ncbi-blast-2.2.27+/bin). This is the folder where the blast applications are located.
Part A
downloaded Swiss Prot database from www.ebi.ac.uk (at the very bottom of the page, the fasta file for UniProtKB/Swiss_Prot). File is called uniprot_sprot_010913.fasta Made database of these sequences called uniprot_db_010913

Will need to do a tblastn of the protein sequences (protamine_sequences.fasta) against a database made from the nucleotide sequences in the part A file.
Made a blast database of the nucleotide sequences using the following code:

This didn't work, error = Warning: could not calculate ungapped Karlin-Altschul parameters due to an invalid query sequence or its translation. Please verify query sequence(s) and/or filtering options.
The query sequences are very short protein sequences that are highly repetitive. I blasted one manually (pblast against swissprot) and it did return the correct sequence in genbank. I then used tblastn (against nucleotide collection) and got the same error from genbank that I got from the terminal-based blast. I did tblastn of the sequence against ref seq and got the error once again.
Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Continuation of analysis of combined QE and OT data
From the file created yesterday, summed spec counts for each oyster within GO categories. This produces an input file for multivariate stats in R. Did NMDS and ANOSIM of the GO data (see NMDS with loadings at alpha less than 0.01 and with polygons below). ANOSIM resulted in no significant difference due to treatment (either single effect of pCO2 or MS or combined effects of both).
Comparison of QE and OT sequencing - made histograms of the number of proteins sequenced for groupings of number of peptides sequenced (i.e. frequency of proteins identified by 1 sequenced peptide, by 2 peptides, etc.). QE sequenced more peptides by far, but the large majority of them are low frequency proteins, whereas OT seemed to get proteins at many different frequencies. This may be part of the problem as to why the OT data are significant for differential response to treatments and QE are not (there is a lot more "noise" of low frequency proteins in the QE data).

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Analysis of combined QE and OT data
Made a file of proteins that were sequenced by both platforms and uploaded to Galaxy (4,296 proteins). This file has been filtered to remove redundancies. To this combined proteome joined files of spec counts for QE and OT data.
Created a worksheet for just the total spec counts for each protein across replicates on both QE and OT. In cells that contained ".", replaced with a 0. Removed proteins that had fewer than 10 spec counts across all replicates on both platforms (n=1792).
Summed spec counts across platforms for each oyster. Using Bray-Curtis dissimilarity did NMDS and ANOSIM in R. (Did the same analyses for all proteins together and for dataset of removed low abundance proteins - expressed in fewer than 8 oysters. The results were similar for both and the NMDS below is for the entire protein dataset.) There was no significant different when considering only pCO2, only MS, or combined pCO2 + MS.
Uploaded file of summed spec counts to Galaxy (summed spec counts for annotation). This file includes only proteins that have at least 10 spectral hits across replicates and platforms. Annotated file with SPIDs, GO, and GO Slim terms. At this time I will focus only on the annotations that correspond to GO biological processes. Created separate worksheets with the CG ID, columns for the total spec counts for each oyster, and either the corresponding GO or GO Slim term. Removed redundancies. Next step is to sum the spec counts within GO or GO Slim categories to make input file for NMDS.

QE mzXML files are downloaded to eagle. Moved xml files to the same folder on eagle (only moved the v9 interact files, those that were searched against the oyster genome and have been filtered for high probability peptides).
Set up Skyline as described 12/11/12. Library made of v9 peptides is called "QE proteins".
I can't get Skyline to work with the QE data. I'm going to abandon this avenue for now and move on to analysis of the combined dataset. It seems like there might be some information on the Skyline support forum if I want to continue later.
Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
Continuation of analysis from 1/4/13
Did cluster analysis and NMDS on RPKM dataset with low abundance transcripts dropped (transcripts must be expressed in a minimum of 4 oysters to be included in analysis).
Did ANOSIM on NMDS from 1/4/13 and from today - neither showed a significant difference between treatments. Based on the NMDS, this doesn't really make sense....Need to revisit this analysis.
January 4, 2013
Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
Analysis of RNA-Seq data (targeted 3') using RPKM instead of total reads mapped. RPKM corrects for transcript length and is a more "correct" measure of expression than total reads per gene. See 12/13/12 for description of the files used in this analysis. I'm going to basically repeat the statistics I did on the total reads of these files and use RPKM instead.
I made one document that has all of the RPKM values per oyster (n=8) for each contig (n=115999). Document is called "joined RPKM.xlsx". Removed contigs that had total RPKM across all oysters = 0 (n=3284). Ran DESeq analysis in R (first had to round down all RPKM values in Excel to nearest integer). There were 38 differentially expressed genes between low and high pCO2 with an adjusted pvalue of <0.1 (see graphs below).
Variance Dispersion
Differentially expressed genes are in red
Distribution of p-values for genes
Uploaded list of differentially expressed genes to Galaxy to join with file of contig blast results (against Sigenae v8). Then joined this file with the SwissProt best hits for Sigenae contigs and with GO and GO Slim terms. Not all of the genes are annotated with Swissprot IDs and gene annotations. 15 transcripts are "down-regulated" (expressed at a lower level) at high pCO2, 23 are "up-regulated" at high pCO2. Included in the set of down-regulated transcripts are mannose receptor, techylectin (involved in innate immunity,

Analysis of QE data
downloaded mzXML files for QE data onto Mac mini PC from the server where Jimmy uploaded them. The xml files were previously downloaded.
Enrichment analysis of differentially expressed proteins in QE data for ambient vs. high pCO2 only (MS samples included but not acknowledged as different treatment). Made a list of all of the unique SPIDs that correspond to the proteins that had at least 10 spectral hits across replicates - this is the background for DAVID. Made 4 gene lists for analysis: 1) SPIDs corresponding to proteins that were differentially expressed according to a t-test, 2) SPIDs of proteins that were at least 2-fold up-regulated, 3) proteins at least 2-fold down-regulated, 4) all 3 previous categories combined.
For category 1 (t-test), enriched GO terms were protein folding, peripheral nervous system development, mitotic cell cycle, macromolecular complex assembly, cell cycle process, macromolecular complex subunit organization, protein complex biogenesis.
For category 2 (up-reg at least 2 fold): protein heterooligomerization, regulation of transcription, regulation of transcription DNA-dependent, transcription, protein complex biogenesis, protein complex assembly, macromolecular complex subunit organization, regulation of RNA metabolic process, macromolecular complex assembly, pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthetic process, pyrimidine nucleotide metabolic process, regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter, positive regulation of nucleobase, nucleoside, nucleotide and nucleic acid metabolic process.
For category 3 (down-reg at least 2 fold): muscle organ development, cellular protein localization, muscle tissue development, skeletal muscle organ development, cellular macromolecular localization, intracellular protein transport, induction of apoptosis, protein import, regulation of transcription DNA-dependent.
For category 4: mitotic cell cycle checkpoint, protein complex assembly, protein complex biogenesis, regulation of transcription DNA-dependent, cell cycle checkpoint, macromolecular complex assembly, macromolecular complex subunit organization, pyrimidine nucleotide metabolic process, pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthetic process, membrane organization, response to abiotic stimulus, protein import, protein oligomerization, detection of stimulus, enzyme linked receptor protein signaling pathway, positive regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process, positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter, sulfur amino acid metabolic process.

Analysis of QE data
From stats done 12/20/12, made list of unique protein IDs of differentially expressed proteins (for each treatment comparison the protein is either differentially expressed according to the t-test with p<0.05, or according to fold change of at least 2 up- or down-regulated). This is 1,086 proteins. Made a fasta file of the protein sequences (from genome v9) corresponding to these CGI IDs in Geneious.
Did DESeq on protein expression data from QExactive. Created 2 input files: one to compare effects of pCO2 (on non-mechanically stressed oysters only) and one to compare the effects of MS on the ambient pCO2 oysters. Both were treated as single-end libraries. The comparison of the pCO2 treated oysters yielded one protein that was differentially expressed with an adjusted p-value of < 0.1: CGI_10005508 (this protein is already included in the differentially expressed list described above). There was no protein expression different due to mechanical stress in the ambient pCO2 oysters according to DESeq.
protein CGI_10005508 is putatively carboxymethylenebutenolidase

In Excel, separated the file into 3 parts based on GO terms: cellular components, molecular function, and biological processes. For today, will just do analysis at the biological processes level. For each of the 3 sub-files, filtered to maintain unique protein-GO term combinations. Kept only proteins that were annotated with SPIDs with an evalue of less than or equal to 1E-5. Did the same process for GO Slim terms.
To create file of spec counts per GO term, sorted spec counts, protein ID, and GO term by GO term. Removed redundant entries so that a protein is not counted multiple times for one GO term. For each GO term, summed the spec counts for each oyster and then pasted into a new spreadsheet. The new spreadsheet has GO terms in the first column followed by the sum of all spec counts for that term for each oyster. Did the same for GO Slim biological processes.
Did NMDS (described 12/20/12) on oysters described by GO or GO Slim terms and ANOSIM looking at effect of pCO2, MS, and combination of MS + pCO2. There was no difference in expression among treatments at the GO or GO Slim levels.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Analysis of proteomic data from the QExactive
In Galaxy, viewed joined file and selected "view all". Copied and pasted into text wrangler. Under Search > Find searched for "QE" and replaced with "\r" enabling grep. This makes a line break at every QE. Saved and opened in excel to edit (some columns need re-aligning).
Removed proteins that had fewer than 10 spectral counts across all replicates (remaining proteins = 2,437). Summed spectral counts across technical reps, within biological reps.
Annotated the proteins joined to the summed spec counts in Galaxy.
Statistics in Excel to get an idea of potential important proteins in differential expression. For the following treatment comparisons, calculated p-value (type 2, 2-tailed t-test) and fold change (stressor/control): mechanical stress in High pCO2, MS in ambient pCO2, MS, pCO2.
t-test results: 135 proteins were differentially expressed due to MS at high pCO2, 97 were differentially expressed due to MS at ambient pCO2, 119 were differentially expressed due to MS across pCO2 treatments, 145 were differentially expressed due to pCO2 (this included oysters that had been exposed to MS).
fold change results (down regulated at least 2 fold): 267 due to MS at high pCO2, 322 due to MS at ambient pCO2, 177 due to MS across pCO2, 206 due to high pCO2.
fold change results (up regulated at least 2 fold): 236 due to MS at high pCO2, 164 due to MS at ambient pCO2, 155 due to MS across pCO2, 129 due to high pCO2.
Made 4 datasets from proteomic data for NMDS and ANOSIM: 1 dataset had all the proteins included, the second dropped low abundance proteins (expressed in < 1/2 oysters), the third dropped high abundance proteins (occurred in >95% of the oysters), and the fourth dropped both low and high abundance. Did NMDS using a Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrix and ANOSIM. There was no significant difference among treatments at the protein level. Below are NMDS for the dataset with all proteins (including low and high abundance). The loadings (blue arrows) are all proteins that contribute significantly to the distribution of objects (oysters) with a significance of p=0.01 or lower.
Tomorrow: NMDS and ANOSIM at GO and GO Slim level.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Joined all QExactive replicates to the QE sequenced proteome in Galaxy (replicates are joined in alpha numeric order, starting with 101B_2_01 and ending with 103B_251_03). Galaxy will not let me download the file right now so I'll try again tomorrow :(

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Prepared QExactive protein prophet files for upload and joining in Galaxy.
Created a non-redundant list of all the proteins (with Protein prophet probability cutoff of 0.9) that were sequenced on the QExactive ("QE sequenced proteome"). There are 4265 proteins in the list.

Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
Ran DAVID analysis today for files prepared 12/13/12. For genes that were differentially expressed according to a t-test, there was an enrichment of GO terms for protein amino acid phosphorylation, sensory perception of light stimulus, visual perception, heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process, heparan sulfate proteoglycan metabolic process, protein catabolic process. There were 60 GO terms enriched in the genes that were at least 2-fold more highly expressed at high pCO2. 40 GO categories were enriched in the genes up-regulated at ambient pCO2. For the group of genes differentially regulated (combination of the previous 2 groups), 63 GO categories were enriched. Below are pie charts of the GO Slim terms representing number of enriched GO terms for each category.

Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
On 12/3/12 I did a de novo assembly of the 8 tag-seq libraries to make consensus isotigs. Also on 12/3 I did RNA-Seq of the libraries against this de novo assembly to get expression values for each isotig (the contig numbers are conserved across the de novo assembly and the RNA-Seq). On 12/4, all the RNA-Seq files were joined together to form the file "all isotig RNA-Seq joined". On 12/5, blasted the isotigs against Sigenae v8 for annotation.
Edited the file from 12/5 so that instead of isotig names reading "Consensus from Contig 116" they read "Contig116". This file gives the number of reads mapped to each isotig by sample library (8 libraries). The only isotigs used in further analysis are those with at least 10 reads mapped across the 8 libraries. Saved tab-delim text file as "library reads mapped to isotigs".
In Galaxy, joined isotig reads mapped file with isotig blastn sigenae v8 results. Then joined with Cg Sigenae8 best hit to get SPID annotations. Then joined with Cg Sigenae ontology to annotate with GO terms. Also joined with Go Slim terms. File is called "isotig reads mapped annotated".
To get number of reads per isotig, made 8 separate pivot tables (1 for each library) of the sum of number of mapped reads per Sigenae accession number. For each library, a large number of reads map to isotigs that do not have a blastn result against the Sigenae database.
Made input file for DESeq of total reads mapped per contig in each library (file = Sigenae reads DESeq).

6 genes are differentially expressed (adjusted p-value < 0.05), all are up-regulated in the high pCO2:
CU682172 = hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor
FV2TRRU02GXXJN = heat shock 70 kDa protein
AM857082 = TPR and ankyrin repeat-containing protein
CU999485 = DNA binding protein SMUBP
CU996918 = D. rerio hypothetical protein
FU6OSJA01A8KLU = not annotated
Exploration of differentially expressed genes as determined by t-test. Did a t-test (type 2, 2-tailed) in Excel for each Sigenae contig based on sum of all reads. Annotated the contigs with SPIDs. Also divided the sum of the reads for the high pCO2 libraries by the sum of the reads for the ambient pCO2 library for each Sigenae contig. Now there are 2 new metrics for looking for differentially expressed genes: significance from the t-test (p<0.05) and fold change. To look for enrichment of GO categories in these groups of genes, made a DAVID input file with genes that are sig diff according to the t-test, highly expressed (2-fold or greater) in high pCO2, highly expressed in ambient pCO2. Removed redundancy from spid lists. The background for DAVID is the SPIDs annotating all of the Sigenae contigs (all SPID annotations have an evalue of less than 1E-5).
DAVID is currently down so may need to run these analyses tomorrow.
Some of the genes that are differentially expressed according to the t-test (335 total) are hsc70, hsp70, cytochrome p450, v-type proton ATPase, ficolin.
A total of 2121 genes were expressed less at high pCO2 compared to low pCO2 (by at least 2-fold). These included cathepsin, hsp70, ficolin, v-type proton ATPase, caspase-14, metallothionein, cytochrome p450, hsc70, defensin.
885 genes were expressed at least 2-fold more highly in the high pCO2 treatment, including multidrug resistance-associated protein, hsp70, glutathione peroxidase, v-type proton ATPase, peroxiredoxin 6.
RNA-Seq experiment on CLC. Set up experiment with the RNA-Seq files from 12/3/12 (reads mapped back to de novo assembly of isotigs). Parameters: two-group comparison unpaired, use existing expression values from samples. Assigned libraries to groups "high pCO2" and "ambient". Saved in folder "expression experiment 121312".
Multivariate analysis of RNA-Seq data, starting with contig level. Input file is sum of reads across isotigs for each contig. Did parallel analyses for the entire data set (10341 contigs) and for the dataset without low abundance genes (expressed in fewer than 8 oysters, 4228 contigs). Did log(x+1) transformation and used bray-curtis dissimilarity coefficient. Did hierarchical agglomerative clustering and made average linkage dendrograms. There was no clear pattern according to treatment.
all contigs:

Also did clustering with euclidean distance instead of bray-curtis and dendrograms looked identical using the different coefficient.
Next did NMDS. NMDS plots do not show vector loadings because there were too many arrows.

There was no significant effect of treatment on gene expression for either dataset using ANOSIM.
Multivariate analysis at GO and GO Slim levels (instead of individual contig). Annotated contigs in Galaxy with GO and GO Slim terms. For now I will only work with the biological processes terms. Made worksheets of contigs, read counts for each library, and GO or GO slim terms (removed redundancies). Made pivot tables for each library: sum of reads within GO or GO slim category.
NMDS at go and go slim level still shows lack of resolution between treatment groups. This may be because oyster D is an outlier. Will try same analysis but without oyster D.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Continuation of Skyline analysis.
Brendan (developer of Skyline) responded to my query regarding how to treat the different precursor charges:
It really depends on what you are doing. If you measured both charge states and the data is good, then you would probably get a more accurate measurement of peptide abundance by summing the TotalArea values of both, under the principle that more ions measured will increase your precision.
If one charge state is a very small fraction of another, and has a totally different lower limit of quantification (LOQ), then, yes, you will probably want only the better precursor, since including the worse performing precursor is likely just decrease your linear range of detection, if you sum the two, and using them separately will just give you two different measures for the same thing, with one being provably worse than the other
It seems that the precursor charge 2 is less than half of the 3 charge state. Peptides that have only one charge state are a 2. Based on this, I'm just going to keep the data for the 2 charge state and discard the 3 state for further analyses.
For high pCO2 and high pCO2 + MS, created input files for Galaxy of the Prot-Pep combined indicator and the average peak area for that peptide. Made a backbone to join these files to of the prot-pep names for each treatment. Annotated proteins with SPIDs.
Created column in spreadsheet (MS vs NS) of the avg total peak area for the high pCO2 MS samples divided by the avg total peak area for high pCO2 (NS) samples. Some of the peptides that were up-regulated in the mechanically stressed oysters are beta-hexosaminidase (MS/NS = 206.031453), calmodulin (MS/NS = 103), clathrin (MS/NS = 18), putative universal stress protein (MS/NS = 8), myosin (MS/NS = 6), dual oxidase (MS/NS = 3), Some of the peptides that were down-regulated in the MS oysters included dual oxidase (MS/NS = 0.006), MAPK (MS/NS = 0.17), HSP70 (MS/NS = 0.2), stress-induced phosphoprotein (MS/NS = 0.38), v-type proton ATPase (MS/NS = 0.4), cathepsin L (MS/NS = 0.44). Next step for these proteins is to do an enrichment analysis for the up- and down-regulated proteins in mechanical stress. Differential regulation = at least 2-fold difference in expression. Overall, 162 peptides were down-regulated with mechanical stress at high pCO2 and 48 were up-regulated.
Repeated the same steps in Skyline to compare expression profiles between the high and ambient pCO2 oysters (no MS) and the ambient MS oysters vs. controls.
In ambient versus high pCO2, 71 proteins were upregulated at high pCO2, including dual oxidase (high/ambient = 212), MAPK (high/amb = 5), clathrin (high/amb = 3.7), HSP70 (high/amb = 2.8), v-type proton ATPase (high/amb = 2.5). 74 proteins were down-regulated, including glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (high/amb = 0.16), long chain fatty acid ligase (high /amb = 0.41).
In the comparison between ambient pCO2 no additional stress (NS) and mechanical stress (MS), 52 peptides were up-regulated in the MS and 246 were down-regulated.
Used all SPID annotations matching to proteins used in the analysis for the DAVID background. Generated lists of SPIDs corresponding to peptides down- and up-regulated at high pCO2 compared to ambient, ambient + MS compared to ambient, and high pCO2 + MS compared to high pCO2. All of the lists were filtered for redundancy. Enriched Gene Ontology categories are listed below for each treatment group (GOTERM_BP_FAT).
upregulated in Ambient MS: carbohydrate catabolic process, alcohol catabolic process
downregulated in High pCO2: cell adhesion, biological adhesion, blood vessel morphogenesis, vasculature development, blood vessel development
upregulated in High pCO2 MS: cognition, ion homeostasis, regulation of membrane potential, cellular ion homeostasis, cellular chemical homeostasis, chemical homeostasis, neurological system process, behavior

Repeated the same process except using GO Slim categories instead of GO. Divided up the cellular component, molecular function, and biological processes GO Slim terms. Removed proteins that were annotated with an evalue >1E-5. Removed redundant protein-GO Slim combinations. For now, I am only going to do the NMDS and ANOSIM for the biological processes GO Slim terms. Created an input file for R (as described 12/10/12). The ANOSIM analysis was significant for the effect of pCO2 on protein expression and the combined effects of pCO2 and MS, but not for MS alone.

Enrichment analysis of proteomics data. Proteins used have at least 10 spectral counts across all replicates. The common list of proteins that fit this criterion are used as the backbone in DAVID. Made input file with one column of CGI protein accession numbers for each treatment group. Within each group, a protein is included in the input file if it has at least 4 spectral counts across the 4 oysters. The CGI accession numbers were joined with the blastx output (SPIDs) in Galaxy to make files for DAVID. Only unique SPIDs within treatment groups were kept in the final file for DAVID (v. 6.7).
The only GO term that was enriched (GOTERM_BP_FAT) was for high pCO2 + MS (regulation of transcription).
Analysis of proteins of interest in Skyline.
Downloaded zipped files (from Jimmy, mzXML_OT1, pepxml_OT1, pepxml_QE) from proteomics server onto "Mac" mini. These files extract to the files needed to build libraries in Skyline.
Also put protein of interest fasta file (see 12/6/12) onto Eagle to download and use in Skyline.

All raw data files were imported as single injections.
Created export format for report titled "Oyster report". All 4 treatments are exported as separate csv files (in folder Skyline output 121012). In Excel, created worksheet of protein name, peptide sequence, sample name, total area, and cvtotalarea. Removed redundant entries. Created new column next to total area called prot-pep and concatenated the protein name and peptide sequence. Then selected the prot-pep and totalarea columns and made a pivot table with the prot-pep name as the row labels and the total area as the sum values (make sure to select sum!). This gives a table with the total sum of the peptide peak areas for each peptide (i.e. expression). Made another pivot table except with the average of the total area for each peptide.
There were redundancies in the original output file (some of the peptides had multiple peak areas for a sample), so re-exported the file with the columns: precursors charge, precursors isotope label type, precursors modified sequence. New file is called Skyline high pCO2 additions.csv. Also exported results for high pCO2 with mechanical stress.
The redundancy is caused by different precursor charges (2 vs 3). I'm not sure how to deal with this yet...

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Did ANOSIM on protein expression visualized in NMDS 12/7/12. Created csv file with 3 columns describing the 16 oysters (oyster names in first column). One column had just the pCO2 treatment designators, one column had just MS, and one had the combination of the 2 stresses. ANOSIM was performed 3 separate times using the 3 columns as grouping variables for protein expression. For each analysis p>0.05, so protein expression did not explain differences between groups in a statistically significant way.
Repeat of NMDS and ANOSIM on protein expression data except proteins will be grouped functionally (by GO and GO Slim terms) and spec counts will be summed within functional groups. 2 files were made in Galaxy: one with proteins annotated to GO and one with annotations to GO Slim.
Divided up the analyses for GO and GO Slim based on GO type (component, function, process). Only kept annotations that had an e-value for the blastx of less than or equal to 1E-5. Removed redundant protein-GO combinations. The input file for R is structured with oyster number (n=16) as row names, GO terms as column headers, and individual cells containing the total spec counts for each oyster in that GO category. There were 219 unique GO terms for biological processes that contributed to the NMDS.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Multivariate statistics for proteomics (based on a conversation with Julian Olden).
First round of analyses is on proteomics at the individual protein level. The input file is total spectral counts (across 3 technical replicates) for each biological replicate. I did the exact same NMDS for 4 different versions of the dataset: all proteins included, removed proteins that were low abundance (only expressed in 8 or fewer oyster, n=35 proteins), removed proteins that were high abundance (expressed in at least 95% of the oysters, n=779 proteins), removed both low and high abundance proteins. Each dataset was log-transformed and the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity coefficient was used. Only 2 dimensions were needed to explain the data. Links to the NMDS plots are below. The numbers represent individual oysters. 2-11 = high pCO2, 26-35 = high pCO2+mechanical stres, 221-230=ambient pCO2, 242-251 = ambient pCO2 + mechanical stress.

In the NMDSs for all proteins and only low abundance proteins removed, there is quite a bit of redundancy in the proteins that explain the object (oyster) distribution in space. Even with the simpler plots, however, there does not seem to be a very clear pattern emerging.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Joined all protein prophet files together and then summed across technical replicates so that each biological replicated is represented by one column. Kept only the proteins that had at least 10 spectral counts across biological replicates. Did 2-tailed, type 2 t-tests in excel to identify proteins of interest for the following treatment groups: effect of mechanical stress in high pCO2 only, effect of mechanical stress in ambient only, effect of mechanical stress over both pCO2 groups, effect of pCO2 over all 16 oysters. Annotated the proteins with SPIDs and descriptions in Galaxy.
70 proteins were differentially expressed in the oysters exposed to mechanical stress (MS) at high pCO2. Some potential proteins of interest include hsp90, hsp70, multidrug resistance protein.
60 proteins were differentially expressed in the oysters exposed to MS at ambient pCO2. Some of these were the same as those differentially expressed at high pCO2, but they were the minority. Some differentially expressed proteins were Toll-interacting protein, cytochrome c oxidase, hsp70
67 proteins were differentially expressed in response to MS across pCO2 treatments. Most of these were differentially expressed in at least one pCO2 treatment.
67 proteins were differentially expressed in response to pCO2 and most of these were not differentially expressed in response to MS. These proteins included stress-induced phosphoprotein 1, v-type proton ATPase, hsp105, cathepsin L.
These combine results produce 219 unique proteins that are differentially expressed due to either pCO2, mechanical stress, or a combination. These 219 proteins will be used to create a protein and peptide tree in Skyline. I will also add proteins to the list from the statistics done yesterday on ambient vs. high pCO2 for a total of 357 proteins.
Downloaded the fasta file of the v9 proteome (local) from crassostreome and uploaded into Geneious. Manually made individual sequence documents for the proteins of interest to export as a single fasta file (C. gigas proteins for Skyline.fasta).
December 5, 2012
Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
The output file from yesterday is uninformative because there are spaces in the contig names so for each query name it only picked up the first word (Consensus). Reformatted the file so that contig names are Contig1, Contig2, etc. and reran the blastn on the Mac mini with the output file called blastn_isotigs_120512.
Secondary Stress: Proteomics
To compare the effects of elevated pCO2 on the proteome, uploaded all replicates to Galaxy for just high pCO2 (no mechanical stress, samples Exp2.2, 5, 8, 11) and samples for just ambient pCO2 (221, 224, 227, 230). Within each treatment group, joined replicates based on protein identification number. (High pCO2 files were accidentally uploaded into the wrong workflow - C. gigas 3' RNA-Seq.)
Edited the Galaxy files so that they were just columns for total spectral counts for each replicate. Uploaded these files back into Galaxy and joined the 2 pCO2 treatments. Created a file so that each biological replicate (n=8) had just one column which contained the sum of total spectral counts for each protein. Analyzed this data in DESeq just to see what would happen. 56 proteins were "differentially expressed" according to DESeq, all of them downregulated (actually not expressed) at high pCO2 except for 1 protein. Annotated these proteins with SPIDs in Galaxy. Among the proteins down-regulated at high pCO2 were carbonic anhydrase (important for calcification), hsp70, complement component 1Q (immune response), cytochrome c oxidase, dual oxidase (regulated production of ROS).
Did a t-test of the summed total spectral counts to compare expression between the 2 pCO2 treatments (2-tailed, type 2 in Excel). 268 proteins showed differential expression using this method. Annotated the proteins in Galaxy. Removed proteins that had <10 spectral counts across the 8 replicates. This left 168 proteins with a significant t-test p value (<0.05). Most of the same proteins identified by DESeq were shown to be differentially expressed by the t-test method as well, except carbonic anhydrase was just over the threshold of non-significance (p=0.057). Other proteins that were not identified with DESeq were v-type proton ATPase, Toll-interacting protein, uncharacterized oxidoreductase, MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2, stress-induced phosphoprotein.
December 4, 2012
Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
Less than 50% of the reads mapped back to the consensus isotigs for each sample (EM2A-EM2H). Of the reads that mapped back, the large majority for each sample mapped uniquely to one isotig.
Exported all 8 RNA-Seq files as csv and resaved them as tab-delimited text files with names e.g. EM2A isotig RNA-Seq.txt. Uploaded to Galaxy. Joined all RNA-Seq files together based on contig number to make file "all isotig RNA-Seq joined". Exported to excel. Removed all isotigs that had less than 10 total reads mapped across all 8 samples - this is the file for DESeq (isotig RNA-Seq for deseq.csv).
Isotig 100818 is differentially expressed.
There is definitely redundancy in the isotigs (i.e. some of them map to the same transcript). I need to remove this redundancy by combining isotigs that map to the same transcript and redo the DESeq.
Exported the consensus sequences from the de novo assembly (the isotigs). Uploaded the fastq file to Galaxy and made it into a fasta file. Saved fasta file to Eagle so that it is accessible from the Mac mini when Eagle is mounted as a server. Created database of Sigenae v8 on the Mac mini by using the following in the Terminal (in the directory ncbi-blast-2.2.27+ in subfolder bin). Downloaded sigenae v8 transcriptome from crassostreome and made it into a database using makeblastdb. Ran blastn using the following code to blast the isotig consensus sequences against the sigenae db with a evalue cut-off of 1E-5, only the top hit returned.
./blastn -num_threads 8 -out [output file directory and name] -db [db directory and name] -outfmt 6 -evalue 1E-5 -max_target_seqs 1 -query [directory and name for isotig contigs] -task blastn

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
I have been uploading raw files into Skyline for analysis. Files were uploading without a problem until I tried to upload 101B_35 (see 11/30/12). I tried a few other files and get the same error. to make sure that it is a Skyline problem and not a file corruption problem, I created a new Skyline session called "test", uploaded one xml file as the library, and imported the 101B_35_01 as a results file. The file uploaded successfully, so there is a problem with Skyline.
Confirmed that the problem is not enough memory in the computer. With more memory I should be able to upload more files. There's also a possibility of partitioning the number of transitions and creating different documents for the different partitions (I'm not really sure what this means or what it would do to my analysis).
Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
SR has done some work with the 3'-targeted data (see his notebook, Cgigas tag-seq). The idea is to do a de novo assembly to create isotigs and then map the isotigs to the transcriptome using strict parameters.
In CLC, did a de novo assembly of the reads trimmed for quality and virus sequence. Mismatch cost = 2, insertion cost = 3, deletion cost = 3, length fraction = 0.8, similarity = 0.95, vote conflict resolution, ignore non-specific matches, minimum contig length = 75. Saved in folder 'de novo 120312'.
of the 9,283,995 reads, 3,741,778 assembled into contigs with an average length of 95.25 (356,400,475 bases). The total number of contigs assembled = 115,999 with an average length of 126. The number of reads making up the isotigs ranged from 2-1,222,730 (this last is contig 61969). Selected all contigs and "open consensus" to create consensus sequences of the isotigs (saved in the same folder).
Mapped the extracted consensus isotigs to the Sigenae v8 transcriptome. Mismatch cost = 2, insertion cost = 3, deletion cost = 3, length fraction = 0.5, similarity = 0.95, vote conflict resolution, ignore non-specific matches.
Did the same mapping to reference except changed the similarity to 1 and to 0.8. Also mapped to the genome v9 (0.95 similarity).
Sigenae mapping, similarity = 0.95: Out of 115,999 isotigs, 42,647 mapped to Sigenae transcriptome with an average length of 129.64 (26,290 references). Again, it looks like the isotigs mapped all across gene sequences (i.e. they did not fall just at the 3' end). The number of isotigs mapping to a gene ranged from 1-22.
Sigenae mapping, similarity = 0.8: Out of 115,999 contigs, 47,976 mapped to the transcriptome with an average length of 129 (27,971 references). The number of isotigs mapping to a gene ranged from 1-34. Some isotigs mapped just on one end of a transcript (ES789949, DW713967), but many transcripts had isotigs mapping to multiple areas.
Sigenae mapping, similarity = 1: 28,889 isotigs mapped to the transcriptome with an average length of 128.41 (19,466 references). The number of isotigs mapping to a gene ranged from 1-21. Again, it looks like most transcripts had isotigs mapping to multiple areas, not just the 3' end.
genome mapping, similarity = 0.95: 74,149 isotigs mapped to the genome with an average length of 125.53 (1,657 references).
Preparing data to do DESeq. Did RNA-Seq on all the trimmed files, mapping back to the consensus sequences from the de novo assembly. max number of mismatches = 2, min length fraction = 0.9, max number of hits for a read = 10, expression value = RPKM. Saved outputs in RNA Seq folder under de novo 120312.

Trying to decrease the amount of time and memory it takes to import raw files into Skyline.
Settings > Transition settings > full scan > retention time filtering: use only scans within 5 minutes of MS/MS IDs.. This should significantly reduce the amount of time/memory it takes to import raw files.
This change has significantly reduced the memory the computer uses to import raw files. I will need to go back and change 101B_11 and 101B_32, which were imported without the chromatogram limits.
When I tried to import the file 101B_35_01, I got an error message: Failed to build a cache for "...Sklyine 112812.sky.", Failed to create cache "...Skyline 112812.skyd." Skyline ran out of memory.
From looking at the online help forum, it seems that this message means that there is something wrong with the actual data file.

Created spectral library in Sklyline using xml file from 101B_2_01 as described 11/21/12. File used was in the v9 subfolder of 20120821_OT1.
Repeated the same steps to add the spectral library for 101B_2_02 except used the file from the 20120821_OT1 folder (I wanted to see if either spectral library would include annotations for protein IDs, neither did so I deleted this library). Created spectral libraries for 101B_2_02 and 101B_2_03 using the v9 XML file.
Made library for 101B_5 by adding files for all 3 technical replicates. This seemed to work, so created a library called Cg Gill and added all pepXML files to it from v9 folder. This resulted in 0 spectra being found to put in the library. Made a library called 101B with all of the pepXML files from high pCO2 oysters. This library has over 112,000 spectra in it. Saved the Skyline document as Skyline 112612.

Will try DESeq on the reads mapped to the genome (DESeq done 11/16 was on reads mapped to the transcriptome). For each library (EM2A-EM2H), did RNA-Seq on the clc server, mapping to the genome v9. Minimum length fraction = 0.9, max number of hits for a read = 10, expression value = RPKM. Saved in folder RNA-Seq for trimmed reads (genome).
Exported RNA-Seq files as .csv and uploaded into local Galaxy online. Joined all files together based on scaffold number. Created an input file for DESeq with 1 column for the total reads in each library. Deleted rows that had total reads summing across libraries to <10. (I realize that it doesn't completely make sense to be doing differential expression based on scaffolds because each scaffold represents multiple genes, but I figure that it's a starting point and if I see differences at the scaffold level I can try to bring it down to the gene level.) the file is called "oyster genome for deseq.csv". Output is saved as "C. gigas OA Result Table genome RNA-Seq.csv". None of the scaffolds are significantly differentially expressed, but 4 have an adjusted p-value <1 (and significant p-value): scaffolds 1590, 39732, 42598, and 521.

Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
Comparison of expression between treatment groups in clc. Created consensus sequences for all reads mapped to Sigenae v8 by opening the mapped reads, selecting all sequences, and clicking "open consensus". For each consensus sequences did RNA-Seq on the server. Used cgigas_all_contigs_v8 as the reference without annotation. Assembly settings: Max # mismatches = 2, min length fraction = 0.9, max # hits for a read = 10. Expression value set at RPKM. These RNS-Seq files are saved in subfolder under "sigenae mapping" called "RNA-Seq analysis (consensus seqs)".
Did RNA-Seq for the trimmed reads (quality and for virus). Same parameters as above. Results saved in folder "RNA-Seq for trimmed reads". Exported these files as tab-delimited text.
DESeq wasn't loading because I needed to update my R package. R was updated and I was able to load DESeq. Following the user manual (
http://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/DESeq/inst/doc/DESeq.pdf), I am putting together an input file and starting my analysis with the files created from the RNA-Seq of the trimmed reads (see above). The expression values in the input file need to be raw counts of sequence reads (total reads in clc terminology). The rows of the file should be individual transcripts and each column should be the expression values for a sample. Made this file in Galaxy by joining all of the RNA-Seq files together. Removed all rows that had 0 expression across all samples, formatted cells as "general" (otherwise R does not recognize cell contents as numbers), and saved as csv file "oyster for deseq".

Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
Added sequence for virus PhiX174 as adapter to be trimmed since it is possibly part of the sequence information. Eli sent a file with its genome sequence. In clc: Edit > Preferences > Data. At the bottom of the adapter trimming table, click "Add row". Adapter is called Illumina phiX, entered entire genome as sequence, strand=plus, alignment score = 2,3,10,4, action= remove adapter. Eli also said that "GGG" or "GGGG" may be present at the 5' end of some of the sequences, but I'm not sure how to tell clc to only trim "G" repeats at the 5' end and Eli said it shouldn't be a problem. Saved these trimmed reads in the folder PhiX trimmed. ~100% of the original reads were still present after trimming, meaning that there was not much virus sequence in the reads.
Downloaded cgigas_all_contigs_v8.fa to use as reference for assembly of trimmed reads (Sigenae transcriptome). Mapped the doubly trimmed reads to the transcriptome (individually) and saved in Sigenae mapping folder: mismatch cost = 2, insertion cost = 3, deletion cost = 3, length fraction = 0.5, similarity = 0.8, no global alignment, vote conflict resolution, ignore non-specific matches.
Exported mapping file (.sam) for EM2B to Eagle. Uploaded to local Galaxy on the web and named EM2B Sigenae. Visualized in Trackster using Sigenae contigs v8. There was an error in visualization, so redid the same steps on the public Galaxy website.
Exploring IGV: downloaded IGV from website. Loaded C. gigas Sigenae v8 as a "genome" in IGV by selecting Load genome from URL from the File menu. Downloaded EM2B file mapped to Sigenae and created index file in igv: File > run igvtools, command = index, browse for file and hit run. Index file is saved in same folder as .sam file. Loaded .sam file into IGV by going File > Load File. Contigs can be viewed individually with mapped reads. The multicolored bar at the bottom of the screen is the contig sequence, the gray bars are the mapped reads. The colors in the gray bars are SNPs between the reads and the contig.
See IGV view here:

Decided to go ahead and try to do RNA-Seq to see what happens. I would like to try this in the R package DESeq. I tried to install DESeq but it seems that the website is currently down (I found on a discussion board that this is likely to happen). I'll try to install it again tomorrow.

Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
The local Galaxy mapping started on the Mac mini on Nov 7 is still running.
Downloaded and unzipped files on the PC in the lab to start workflow in clc. Logged into clc server and created directory: C. gigas OA RNA-Seq. Imported sequence files (EM2A-EM2H) into this directory by importing high throughput sequencing files and choosing Illumina as the data type. Also imported oyster.v9_90 genome file to use as reference (this was imported just through the normal file import).
Mapped EM2A to oyster genome v9. Parameters were: mismatch cost =2, insertion cost = 3, deletion cost = 3, length fraction = 0.5, similarity = 0.8, no global alignment, vote conflict resolution, random non-specific matches. Saved mapping in sub-folder EM2A (this mapping was done locally). Queued EM2B-EM2H to map to the reference with the same parameters but on the server.
Exported mapped reads at .sam files and uploaded to Galaxy. In Galaxy, .sam files can be converted to interval files and then to BED files. (We discovered that sam files have the same depth info as bed files so the conversion may not be necessary.) Both sam and bed files can be visualized in Trackster (saved visualization as EM2A SAM1). Saved oyster.v9_90 as a reference genome in Galaxy. Viewed sam and bed files with genome as reference. Added oyster v9 annotations for CDS (exons) and mRNA (gene sequence, probably does not include UTR) as tracks in the visualization. A lot of the reads seem to fall into improbably areas on the gene. We will try mapping cleaner reads to the transcriptome (from Sigenae).
Example of visualization:

Quality trimmed the reads in clc: trim using quality scores, limit = 0.05, trim ambiguos nucleotides, maximum number of ambiguities = 2, discard reads less than 50. About 70-75% of the reads for each sample were retained after trimming (see below). Mapped these trimmed reads to the genome. Next steps: remove barcodes and other excess sequences.

Secondary Stress: RNA-Seq
Data from NGS run by Eli Meyer is on Eagle (
http://eagle.fish.washington.edu/oyster/gigas_rnaseq.tar.gz). The sample IDs are explained in the table below. Began analysis of sequence data on local Galaxy on the Mac Mini. Created an admin account on the mini and opened terminal to launch Galaxy. In terminal, entered the following code:
cd /Users
cd Shared
cd Apps
cd galaxy-dist
./run/.sh
Opened a web browser and entered address: localhost:8080
Username for the local Galaxy is my gmail address.
Saved unzipped fastq files in Documents on Mac mini and also on my laptop. Uploaded the first file (EM2A.fastq) to Galaxy on the mini. This is taking a really long time, so decided to start running on Geneious on the mini.
Geneious:
Downloaded C. gigas genome from crassostreome (oyster.v9_90, fasta file) and uploaded into Geneious. Also uploaded EM2A. Mapped EM2A sequenced to genome reference. Sensitivity = medium-low sensitivity/fast, fine tuning = none (fast/read mapping), no trimming sequences, saved in sub-folder, and saved contigs...Oops, not enough memory to perform the assembly.
Local Galaxy:
Uploaded oyster.v9_90 to galaxy as well. Named history "C. gigas 3' RNA-Seq". Made oyster genome into a reference sequence: under "Visualization" at the top of the page, chose new visualization, and then clicked add a custom build. Named the reference "C. gigas genome v9". Uploaded other fastq data files into history. Under tool heading "NGS: QC & manipulation" used the FASTQ to FASTA converter to make all files FASTA.
Mapped EM2B to the reference genome using the NGS Mapping tool Lastz (for mapping short reads to a reference). Output = tabular, commonly used settings, mapping mode =Illumina 95% identity, ept min and max reporting and coverage reporting the same (0, 100, 0).

Proteomics: Analysis for Manuscript
Compared protein identifications across technical replicates. Created csv file tech reps for plotting which has a column for each technical replicates across all 4 biological replicates. Each cell with a number in it for a technical replicate means that protein was identified in that particular injection (proteins are listed in the far lefthand column). The matches across replicates were summed in the far righthand column and all columns were sorted based on number of matches. Graphed in R, color coding for biological rep

Proteomics: Analysis for Manuscript
These analyses were done only for the Orbitrap data.
Used Venny to create a Venn diagram comparing proteins expressed across biological replicates. From excel file ambient gill proteome joined to all replicates, got the list of protein IDs for expressed proteins for each oyster. For every protein that was expressed per oyster, copied the list into Venny.
Compared the 10 proteins that are expressed the most highly across biological replicates. From average spectral counts across technical replicates, determined which proteins were in the top 10 for each oyster. Protein annotations are provided by SPIDs. No oyster had a unique protein in this category. 8 proteins were included in the top 10 across all oysters.

Secondary Stress: Fatty acids
Through conversations with Louise Copeman (NOAA, Newport, OR) and Michael Brett (UW) I've been learning a little bit about fatty acid analysis and what it can tell me about oysters and ocean acidification. Louise suggested that I investigate lipid class analysis as well as/instead of FA because it gives a good condition index (look at total lipid, storage vs. membrane lipids). She is set up to do this at OSU. If I did the extractions myself, lipid class analysis would be ~$80/sample and FAs would be $40/sample.
Michael Brett thinks that FAs can still give me some very useful and interesting information. FAs give insight into nutritional physiology and the quality of nutrition that an animal is getting. Lipid class tells you more the quantity of lipids being stored and which lipids are being stored. (During a FA analysis lipids are methylated so you don't know where they came from.) Lipid class analysis would should where the FAs end up and could answer the question: does OA affect the oyster's ability to withstand periods of low food? If I were to do FA with the Brett lab and do the work myself, it would cost $15/sample.

Steven ran blast comparisons of both transcriptomes vs. Lottia gigantea proteins yesterday. In OrthoDB, got conserved proteins across all metazoans with a single copy in Lottia. SR did a
tblastn of O. lurida and H. kamtschatkana contigs against this db of protein sequences (30 Lottia sequences total). O. lurida had 28 matches with an e-value less than 1E-5 and H. kamtschatkana had 2 matches.
For each contig that matched to a L. gigantea protein, translated in all 6 frames using standard sequence translation (Geneious). Aligned all 6 translations with the protein sequence: Geneious alignment, cost matrix = BLOSUM 6, gap open penalty = 12, gap extension penalty = 3, global alignment with free end gaps, 2 refinement iterations. From the alignment, determined the correct translation. Calculated the % of the protein that is covered by each sequenced contig.
Calculated # of SNPs per contig. SR had a table of all SNPs (
http://aquacul4.fish.washington.edu/~steven/armina/OlyOSNPsAnnotated.txt and
http://aquacul4.fish.washington.edu/~steven/armina/HkamSNPsAnnotated.txt). Downloaded table, put contig names in a column and made pivot table of column of contig names. Since each snp is a unique entry, a contig with multiple SNPs is entered multiple times. Took the average of the number of occurrences of/SNPs in each contig. for O. lurida this is 3.04, for H. kam this is 1.95.

Did analysis of technical replicates to visualize variability with samples. For each oyster (103 B 221, 224, 227, 230), averaged the total number of independent spectra into a column called "average spectra". Created a csv file for R with protein name, total independent spectra for each technical replicate, and average spectra. Sorted all columns by average spectra, larges to smallest. Plotted each column of total independent spectra: replicate 1 = black, rep 2 = blue, rep 3 = green. Below is the plot for 103B230.

SR annotated the proteome with SwissProt IDs with an e-value cut off of 1E-10.
Jimmy re-ran SEQUEST searches of Orbitrap (OT) and QExactive (QE) data against the new database. downloaded all files with protein probability of at least 0.9. Further analysis is only on proteins from 103B 221, 224, 227, and 230 (ambient, not mechanical stress). All protein prophet files were annotated with SPIDS and joined to the proteome downloaded from the genome.
Made file of proteome for just the samples being analyzed (proteome 2). This is a list of unique contigs representing all the proteins sequenced in the triplicate injections of the 4 samples. Proteins are included only if they have at least 4 spectral counts across samples (1,672 proteins).
Using DAVID v. 6.7 did enrichment analysis of gill proteome sequenced vs. entire proteome downloaded.
Also did enrichment analysis of each oyster (across replicates) vs. proteome 2 to compare inter-individual variability. For all revigo files downloaded, they are the tables from the Gene Ontology BP FAT.
Visualized entire gill proteome by joining to GO terms, filtering out unique entries of contig-GO combinations, and putting in revigo. The number used in revigo was number of spectral counts across oysters/replicates.

Enrichment analysis of protein sets that are 2- and 4-fold differentially expressed between treatments. Calculated differential expression between treatments using the spectral counts averaged within treatment groups. Made protein sets for the following comparisons (separate lists for >4-fold and >2-fold expression differences): ambient pCO2 vs. high; high pCO2 vs. high mechanical stress; ambient pCO2 vs. ambient mechanical stress. For each comparison, the spectral counts for the second stressor listed were divided by the first (i.e. the question is which proteins are up-regulated in high pCO2 and under mechanical stress within both pCO2 treatments). Uploaded this list to Galaxy and joined with blastp results to get SPIDs associated with the contig numbers. Used the SPIDs as input into DAVID's functional analysis tool and exported the GO FAT table to put into REVIGO.

From each oyster took list of expressed proteins and combined into one list (keeping only unique values) to create an expressed proteome for the experiment. Joined this file with the blastp results, GO and GO Slim.
For each oyster, joined the 3 technical replicates into one file based on the expressed proteome for that particular treatment group (i.e. the 4 sub-proteomes for each treatment). Averaged the spectral counts across technical replicates.
Joined together all averaged spectral counts to the expressed proteome.
Did enrichment analysis in DAVID on each treatment, on OA (combined 2800 and 2800 + mechanical stress), and mechanical stress (m.s. from 400 and 2800 µatm).
Did PCA on the averaged spectral counts across technical and biological replicates with treatment group as the observation and protein as the variable. (Deleted all proteins with 0 expression across treatments.)

Downloaded all raw data files from the orbitrap and from the QExactiv to an external hard drive. These files will be necessary for doing comparative expression analysis in Skyline.
Brought back remaining samples in autsampler vials (from both MS machines). Put these in the proteomics box in the -80°C.
Steven ran a blastp of the translated Sigenae database against Swissprot. See his notebook

Downloaded all protein prophet files with probability cut-off of 0.9.
Secondary Stress: Histology
Analyzed slides sent out 8/20 (see 8/17 for analysis). Some of the sections, especially for the high pCO2 treatment, are not very good and don't include the digestive gland. Sample sizes for DG for each treatment are n=6 for 400 µatm, n=6 for 400 µatm + mechanical, n=2 for 1400 µatm, n=3 for 1400 µatm + mechanical. Also, in some of the sections the tissue is either not preserved well or the slides weren't made well and there are tears so it's hard to score the tubules as metaplasia or not.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
All samples have now gone through the first injection (2nd injection has started) and there was strong peptide signal for all. The 3rd standard has run and looks good: the 2 standard peaks are still separate and the signal is clean after the high organic wash, but there is still some carryover signal before the wash.
Overview of software
Skyline for doing relative protein expression between samples (more robust than spectral counting because takes area under the spectral curve for comparison). Only runs on PCs. Use
MS1 Full-Scan Filtering (
pdf of manual). Notes: 1) use mzxml and peptide.xml files for library, raw files are imported as the data to generate the protein expression profiles 2) in peptide settings structural modifications only include carbamidomethyl cysteine and methionine oxidation.
In Peptide profit, the number after an amino acid indicates that it has been modified. These modifications (circled in pink) frequently occur during sample preparation.
In Peptide Prophet file can view the sensitivity/probability curve (just click on probability in the row of the peptide you are interested in). This is good for supporting why a certain probability cutoff was chosen. Gives false discovery rate for each probability. Sensitivity = fraction of all correct assignments passing filter; error = fraction of peptide assignments passing filter that are incorrect.
In Peptide Profit file can also generate 3D image of the peptides. Green-red corresponds to peptide probability. Blue dots are peptides that were not identified in the database search. The x-axis is the time of the chromatography. Contamination would be seen as dark horizontal lines across the plot.
Sensitivity/error can also be found in the protein profit file.
Notes on standardization of MS data (from discussions with Jimmy and Priska):
-can normalize spectral counts to length of protein since longer proteins will have greater hits
-can create histogram of number of spectral counts on the x-axis and proteins on the y-axis and just analyze the middle of that distribution
-can normalize to housekeeping proteins - i like this one best. you can choose a few housekeeping proteins (actin, tubulin, etc.) and use the spectral counts for those proteins to create a scalar to correct spectral counts for other proteins that are potentially differentially expressed.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
All samples that ran last night (400 µatm and 400 µatm + mechanical stress) collected lots of peptides and look good. A standard ran this morning before beginning on MS of 1400 µatm samples. The standard looks a little different from yesterday's: the 2 peaks of angiotensin and neurotensin are still separated, but there is more noise after the peaks. The organic wash is still visible and MS equilibrates back to 0 after the wash. The noise after the standard peaks is carryover from the previous sample(s). Since we are looking at larger differences in protein expression, this should not significantly affect our results. The bias of the carryover will also partially be corrected for by randomizing the order in which the samples are injected among the 3 technical replicates.
Subsampled 25 µl of each sample from the autosampler vials and put into new autosampler vials. Priska is running these on the Q Exactive so we can do a comparative analysis of the protein identifications between the 2 machines (this also means I get twice as much data for the same price :) ).
Made translated Sigenae database in Galaxy. File from yesterday finally finished uploading (82,312 sequences). For the translation in EMBOSS's getorf package, used standard code, minimum nucleotide size of ORF to report = 30, maximum nucleotide size of ORF to report = 1 million, translation of regions between start and stop codons, all start codons code for methionine, no circular sequence, find ORFs in reverse complement, number of flanking nucleotides to output = 100, output = FASTA. The output (Translation of Sigenae v 8) is 1,060,291 sequences.
Jimmy ran SEQUEST and Peptide and Protein Prophet on my first 6 MS runs. Data are downloaded by logging into the UWPR projects website and following link at the bottom of the project page. I selected to download proteins that meet the minimum probability of 0.3. I am only working with the Protein Prophet files at this point.
Order of samples for 2nd injection:32, 26, 8, 2, 248, 242, 227, 221, 35, 29, 11, 5, 251, 245, 230, 224
Order of samples for 3rd injection: 251, 2, 248, 5, 245, 8, 242, 11, 230, 26, 227, 29, 224, 32, 221, 25
1 standard is run after every 8 samples
5 most highly expressed proteins for each of the samples run so far: sorted the protein prophet files by number of independent spectra (largest to smallest). Used blastp to find the protein the corresponds to the translation of the indicated contig. Below the 5 most highly expressed proteins are listed beneath the sample number. Contig number is given first with the number of independent spectra in parentheses, followed by the protein name and its accession number.

Made 2% acetonitrile (ACN) in water with 0.1% FA and resuspended all the samples in 100 µl (vortexed to mix). Spun samples down at 15,000 rpm for 10 minutes. Removed supernatant (NB: no precipitate was visible, but left a small amount of liquid in the bottom of the tubes just in case) and transferred to autoinjection vials, being careful not to get any bubbles in the very narrow part in the bottom. Loaded the vials in tray 2, rows B and C (see below for layout). For the first injection, only ran 1 sample to make sure that everything went ok (run began around 11:30 am). The column used (packed yesterday) is 35 cm long (better for complex mixtures). The column is lined up about 2-3 mm from the entry into the MS.

In the Nanoacquity software, the biosolvent manager is used to adjust flow. Adjust until you get 0.3 µg/mL and <2000 psi of pressure. Always leave on solvents A1 and B1.
Standard used is made of angiotensin and neurotensin. They are very close together and if there is something wrong with the column their peaks will be indistinguishable.
After the high percentage organic wash on the column (near the end of the injection), make sure that the MS equilibrates back to 0.
Spray voltage should be between 1.8-2 kV.
Data display should be in centroid mode so that it saves only the location and intensity of the peaks.
Number of microscans adds scans together and saves as one scan.
Scan 1 happens in orbi trap (400-2000 m/z). Orbi trap determines how large ions are depending on their speed. The other scans are dependent on this first one and happen in the ion trap.
Set repeat count at 1 in dynamic exlusion - do not need to sequence the same precursor multiple times.
Make sure that the pressure does not go up too much after the first run. The pressure started at 1911 psi for the first run today.
I stayed through injection of the 3rd sample. Lots of peptides were collected for the first 2 samples (see plot below) and the column pressure isn't going too high (above 2000 psi).
Made a database to search proteomics data against. Made a new workflow in Galaxy called "C. gigas Proteomics" and uploaded Sigenae_v8_contigs.fasta. Ooops, galaxy is down. Will pursue this tomorrow.

Secondary Stress: Proteomics
Went to UWPR (UW Proteomics Resource) this morning to pack my columns with Priska. The columns are made from a very thin coated silica tubing and is packed with tiny beads (Magic C18). The tubing is cut and melted by a laser while being stretched to create a break with a tapered point at the end. A slurry of the beads in EtOH is placed in a chamber that is closed except for a tiny opening where the silica tubing can be fed through. The non-tapered end is fed into the slurry of the beads and then helium gas (1000 psi) is used to bring up the pressure in the chamber and drive the beads up the column. The column is left like this for a while to make sure that it fills completely the the beads pack well.
Secondary Stress: Histology
Sent out 16 more samples for histology. Sent out 4 samples each from 4 different treatments from the sampling done on 2.11.12. For 400 µatm sent out H2.96, 93, 74 and 80; for 400 µatm + mechanical stress sent out 87, 88, 85, and 84; for 1400 µatm sent out 21, 8, 3, 1; and for 1400 µatm + mechanical stress sent out 9, 15, 14, and 13. Samples were wrapped in 70% EtOH soaked paper towels. EtOH paper towels were placed in the bottom of a plastic histo jar, the samples were placed on top, and then more EtOH soaked towels were used to pack it in. The sealed jar was placed in a ziploc filled with desiccant and then double bagged in another ziploc. The bagged samples were put in a cooler in a box, sealed, affixed with the appropriate warning indication, and mailed priority overnight.

Day 4 of prep for MS/MS: desalting. solvent A = 80% aceotnitrile (ACN) + 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA); solvent B = 5% ACN + 0.1% TFA. Before Brook froze the samples yesterday she added 100 µl of solvent B. I added 100 µl more this morning before desalting.
Macrospin columns were prepped to make C18 structure open up. Added 200 µl of solvent A to columns and spun down at 2000 rpm for 3 minutes. Repeated 3 more times. Added 200 µl solvent B to the column and spun down at 2000 rpm for 3 minutes. Repeated 2 more times. Added entire volume (200 µl) of protein digest and spun down at 3000 rpm for 3 minutes. Collected flow-through from tube and spun down again. Washed column with loading volume of solvent B at 3000 rpm for 3 mintes and repeated two more times. (Saved flow-through from previous 2 steps.) Put tubes in a clean collection tube. In two separate additions, added 100 µl of solvent A and spun down at 3000 µl for 3 minutes. Discarded columns. Put collected sample in speed vac for >45 minutes minutes to dry, but do not dry completely because pellet could jump out of the tube. Stored at -80°C.

Day 2 of sample prep for MS/MS. Took samples from yesterday and added 6.6 µl of 1.5 mM Tris pH 8.8. Then added 2.5 µl of 200 mM TCEP (1 M made yesterday and diluted today). Vortexed samples. Tested pH of a couple samples and was ~8-8.5 (target pH). Incubated samples on shaker at 37°C for 1 hour. Added 20 µl of 200 mM iodoacetamide (IAM; 1 M made yesterday and diluted today). This alkylates the proteins. Vortexed and allowed to sit for 1 hour at room temp in a dark drawer. Added 20 µl of 200 mM dithiolthreitol (DTT; made yesterday). Vortexted and let sit for 1 hour at room temp. This absorbs excess IAM. Since protein concentrations are so high (~3000 µg/ml) continued protocol with ~1/4 of the solution (50 µl equal to about 100 µg/ml). Added 200 µl of 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate (dilutes urea). Added 50 µl of HPLC grade MeOH. Vortexed. Added trypsin buffer (20 µl) to a bottle of tripsin and lightly vortexed. Aliquoted 3 µl of trypsin to each tube (this is equal to 3 µg of trypsin, aiming for a 50:1 protein:trypsin). Vortexed. Incubated overnight at 37°C.

Began protein sample prep for MS/MS next week. Chose 16 samples to analyze: 4 control (103B) = Exp2.221, 224, 227, and 230; 4 control + mechanical stress = 242, 245, 248, 251; 4 highest pCO2 (101B): 2, 5, 8, 11; 4 highest pCO2 + mechnical: 26, 29, 32, 35. Homogenized gill samples in 100 µl of 50 mM NH4HCO3 with a RNAse free pestle. Sonicated each sample 4 times, keeping on dry ice in between sonications. Sonicator probe was cleaned with methanol between samples and with methanol and water between treatment groups. Measured protein concentration of homogenized samples with a Bradford assay and following the Pierce protocol. Made standards A-I as detailed in the protocol. Diluted 5 µl of either standard or sample in 250 µl Coomassie Reagent and mixed by inverting 4 times. Measured each sample in triplicate on the nanodrop, inverting 4 times between each measurement. From sample 26-251 pipetted samples up and down to mix before first aliquot (mixed by inversion before subsequent aliquots) because aggregations were beginning to form in samples. Quant data
here. Below is the standard curve based on the average absorbance values for each known standard concentration. The averages are corrected for background by subtracting the average absorbance of the blank (I). From this curve, concentrations for the experimental samples were calculated using the equation x (concentration) = (absorbance-0.019)/5E-5.

Submission to NCBI's SRA
Started a submission called "PNW Larval RNA-Seq". For each species, created a BioProject, a BioSample, an Experiment and a Run. For each library of data (2 for each), created a Data Block within the Run. In the Run, information is needed on flow cell and lane for Illumina data. This can be found at the beginning of the raw fastq file.
Checksums were generated using the program MD5.

For the previous enrichment analyses I did, I neglected to use the e-value cut-off. I remade the files and re-did the DAVID analysis for the 0 matches for both Oly and pinto. SPID lists for backgrounds and matches are non-redundant.
Deleted previous files from Galaxy workflow and annotated enrichment files from DAVID to GO Slim. Made table for GO Slims across all matching categories (0-6).
For oly, the contigs with 6 matches (i.e. across all species) were not enriched for any GO terms.
Made stacked bar plots with number of cross-species matches on the x-axis and proportion of each set corresponding to GO Slim terms on the y. The colors correspond to the following Go Slims:
cell adhesion = light brown
cell cycle & proliferation = light blue
cell organization and biogenesis = violet
cell-cell signaling = pale green
death = light coral
developmental processes = tan
protein metabolism = teal
RNA metabolism = dark yellow
signal transduction = light lavender
stress response = dark red
transport = pink
Also made stacked bar plots of GO Slim terms corresponding to number of matches not based on enrichment. Filtered contig number and its associated GO Slim by SPID and discarded all contigs that didn't meet the cut-off (1e-5). Kept only unique contig-GO Slim associations (Hkam GO Slim, Oly GO Slim). Did the same for contigs and number of cross-species matches (Hkam matches, Oly matches). Uploaded both of these files to Galaxy and joined based on contig number.

Olympia oyster OA
SEM on Carolyn's Oly larvae from her May experiment. Larvae had been stored in EtOH so I sucked up a little bit of larvae (there were large numbers of them at the bottom of each tube) and streaked them across the SEM stub. The EtOH was allowed to evaporate off before loading sample in SEM. Took pictures of the samples 400-D2L and 2200-8 (pictures are saved in the SEM folder "Emma T-S" in "Oly Larvae"). For each larva took a picture of the entire shell at 500x and took a picture of the growth lines on the shell at 3000x. For 400-D2L the following photo numbers are of the same larvae: (1,2,9), (3,4,8), (5-7), (11&12), (13&14), (15&16), (17-19), (20-23), (24&25), (26&27), (28-30), (31&32), (33&34), (35&36), (37-39), (40&41), (42&43), (44&45), (46-48). For 2200-8, the pictures were all taken consecutively and pictures of a new larva begin with a picture of the entire shell followed by zoomed in pictures.

Oyster Transport: Willapa Bay
Went down to Willapa Bay to pick up 400 oysters to use as broodstock in the cross-generation OA study. The oysters had been collected (multiple year classes) by Alan Trimble from 2 different locations in Willapa (Baby Island and another one). We collected 200 from each group and kept them separate throughout cleaning and transport. We picked the oysters at low tide (~9 am) and then brought them to the WDFW office to clean. For each oyster, we scraped off epibionts, with special attention paid to oyster drills and their eggs. Oysters were then soaked in fresh water for 10 minutes to make sure they were closed and transferred to a dilute bleach solution for 1 hour (20.8 mL of bleach in 5 gallons of fresh water). We tried to keep them in the shade throughout. After the bleach soak, we rinsed the oysters with fresh water, they were checked by a WDFW employee, and we packed them in coolers covered with a damp towel and ice packs. We then drove them up to Bainbridge Island and handed them off to Joth.

Re-did Cross-species ortholog plots with corrected contig lists.
Started submission process on NCBI SRA for both Oly and Pinto (I think...the user interface on NCBI is seriously lacking). Have not uploaded any data yet.
Analyzed contig blastx results to identify gene categories to include in the discussion. Removed blast hits that had an e-value greater than 1e-5. For pinto, start by looking for contigs associated with reproduction. Scanned the GO terms associated with contigs to find promising ones: in utero embryonic development, meiosis, spermatid development, spermatogenesis. Then searched list of GO numbers for ones associated with reproduction:
reproduction = GO: 0000003
sexual reproduction = GO: 0019953
multicellular organism reproduction = GO:0032504
cellular processes involved in reproduction = GO: 0048610
developmental processes involved in reproduction = GO: 0003006
cellular processes involved in reproduction in a multicellular organism = GO:0022412
None of these terms were in the pinto contig list. The contigs that match reproduction-linked GO terms are #1478 (in utero embryonic development); 3423, 1478, and 3832 (meiosis); 3546, 7976 (spermatid development and spermatogenesis).
Also found contigs related to reproduction by searching for the words "sperm", "ova", "ovum", "egg", "fertilization", "vitellogenin" (not all of these terms returned results). Contigs found were 4476 (sperm flagellar protein), 6342 (motile sperm domain-containing protein), 7415 (sperm receptor for egg jelly), 181 (egg protein).
66 pinto abalone contigs matched the GO Slim term "stress response". These included genes that are homologous to genes in the oxidative stress and oxidative response pathway, ubiquitination, apoptosis, a variety of chaperones.
Did the same analysis for Oly. Contigs were found for the following GO reproduction-related terms: cell differentiation involved in embryonic placenta development, copulation, DNA methylation during gametogenesis, embryo implantation, embryonic development, embryonic development during birth or egg hatching, embryonic hemopoiesis, embryonic limb morphogenesis, femal pregnancy, fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane, germ-line sex determination, in utero embryonic development, male gonad development, male meiosis, meiosis, meitotic spindle organization, oogenesis, ovarian cumulus expansion, ovarian follicle development, ovulation cycle, partruition, single fertilization, sperm motility, spermatid development, spermatogenesis, zymogen granule membrane.

Did the enrichment analysis described yesterday for pinto abalone. Below are the REVIGO plots for 0 matches (first plot) and 6 matches across species (2nd plot).
Continuation of enrichment analysis. In Galaxy, joined the list of background SPIDs (generated for DAVID) with GO and GO Slim associations (files 49 and 51). DAVID generated lists of GO terms that were enriched for each matching category (0-6). In Galaxy, joined these GO terms with GO Slim terms (files 55, 62-67). Joined each file of enriched GO/GO slim terms with the background file based on GO term (files 68-74). In excel, created pivot tables for each category of GO enrichment based on GO Slim terms, i.e. each enrichment category is GO terms that are associated with contigs that matched no other species' contigs through contigs that matched all 6 other species. Removed other biological and other metabolic processes and made pie charts. Made a table to summarize all these results with Number of cross-species matches as the rows (0-6) and GO Slim categories as the columns.
Same enrichment analysis was done for H. kamtschatkana. File number for background SPIDs joined to GO and GO Slim are 76 & 77. Enrichment by cross-species matches joined to GO Slim are files 85-91. The above files joined together are files 92-98. Pie charts could not be made for 2 and 3 match enrichments because there were only 2 categories (they are represented in the table).

Bioinformatics: Pinto Ab NGS
Made box plots of evalues by GO Slim term for pinto and Oly. Only GO Slim terms that correspond to biological processes were included. Redundant contig-GO Slim pairings were removed. Log evalues were plotted in the box plots. Whiskers on box plot extend to most extreme values. For log evalues, all unknown numbers (#NUM!) were replaced by 0 (these correspond to evalues=0).
Enrichment analysis for contigs that match to 0-6 other species. Removed blast hits that did not make e-value cut-off (1e-5) and found how many matches each O. lurida or H. kamtschatkana contig had across species. In DAVID, uploaded all gene SPIDs as background and then did 7 different analyses with genes with 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0 matches across other species blast results. So far this analysis has been completed for O. lurida, not for H. kamtschatkana. Below are the REVIGO visualizations (with p-values from DAVID) for contigs that don't match to any other species (0 matches) and the second plot is contigs that match across all species comparisons.

Steven did blast of O. lurida transcriptome against H. kamtschatkana. See
his notebook.
In Galaxy, added this new blastn to the Oly contig file joined with other blast results (Galaxy 155).
Original files used to join in Galaxy and do downstream analyses were the files that resulted from the blastx search against SwissProt. This means that some of the contigs are missing if they did not match up with a SPID. Need to redo all the joining in galaxy using the original list of contig names and redo necessary analyses downstream.
Started new Galaxy work flow called PNW Genomics. (1) Uploaded contig list to Galaxy (2) as well as file of SwissProt blast results (3) annotated to gene name. (4) Annotated to GO and (5) then to GO Slim. Took file from (3) and (6) joined with other species blast files. File names below:

Found Pearson correlation coefficients across bit scores for multi-species blast, for both Oly and Pinto. Did not limit bit scores by e-value, so all data were used for analyses. When there was no bit score, entered "NA". Used R for analysis and function cor.test. All pairwise correlations were positive and significant (p < 2.2e-16). Plotted correlation coefficients by species. Species are laid out on the x-axis and then for each species, the correlation coefficient for bit scores with another species is plotted and color coded. There is redundancy in these graphs since for the correlation with H. midae is plotted for C. gigas and the correlation for C. gigas is plotted for H. midae. The first plot shows the correlations for pinto and the second is for oly.

Spawning at Taylor hatchery
Helped in spawning of inbred lines of C. gigas. Oysters were originally wild broodstock from Canada (pipestem) that were randomly selected to create inbred lines. Spawning was 1:1 within families (i.e. 1 male from family 1 was spawned with 1 female from family 1). We also made 10 outbred crosses to test the parentage assignment of our microsatellite panel (female x male): 16x6, 49x29, 75x15, 15x18, 70x58, 18x73, 6x49, 29x16, 4x70, and 58x4. For each cross, females were strip spawned and eggs were washed through an 80 ul to a 20 ul sieve. The eggs were then homogenized and counted on a coulter counter to create a beaker of 800 mL of 1.2 million eggs. Eggs were left to sit on the counter for at least 30 minutes so that they could "round" up. Males were strip spawned and sperm were left to activate for ~ 5 minutes before dilute sperm (~2 mL) was used to fertilize eggs. Fertilization was allowed to progress for 30 minutes before fertilized eggs were put into buckets. The outbred crosses were done in the morning and in the afternoon were transferred to 2 L soda bottles and transferred back to Seattle (only about 1/4 of the fertilized eggs were brought back, so ~300,000). For each adult spawned, I took a sample of adductor muscle for USC and a sample of mantle for Sea Grant genotyping efforts. Samples are stored in screw cap tubes in 95% EtOH. Sample labels are the following: 12x4 means that in 2012 they are used in the 4th spawn, male or female, 10x9 means that in 2010 they resulted from the 9th spawn, e.g. 1x1 means that they are used in the family 1 inbred cross.
Bottles of fertilized embryos were put in the basement. Sammi will aerate tomorrow morning.

Made plots to demonstrate the Oly or Pinto contigs that are shared between transcriptomes across multiple species (based on BLAST results). These plots only include Oly/Pinto contigs if they were annotated with SPID at e-value of at least 1e-5 and blast hits only if they matched with the same e-value cut off. The y-axis is a list of contigs for the transcriptome being compared (Oly/Pinto) and then each dot on the graph represents a match between that original transcriptome and a gene in one of the other species.

Cloning
Chose 8 samples at random to clone and Sanger sequence: 13, 16, 58, 61, 67, 271, 274, 280. Cloning was done using TOPO pCR2.1 kit following manufacturer's protocol. To 2 µl of PCR product from each of those samples (PCR done 7/17/12) added 0.5 µl TOPO salt solution and 0.5 µl TOPO vector. Incubated at 22°C for 10 minutes and put on ice. Thawed competent cells on ice (One Shot TOPO 10 cells). Added 2 µl of PCR/salt/vector mix to the competent cells (swirling while adding) and incubated for 10 minutes on ice. Heat shocked for 30s in a water bath at 42°C and put on ice for 2 minutes. Added 250 µl SOC (room temp) to each sample (under hood), rolling the tubes to coat sides. Incubated at 37°C, 200 rpm for 1 hour. Meanwhile, LB+Kan plates made yesterday were warmed for >30 minutes at 37°C, spread with 40 µl of 40 mg/mL XGAL, and kept in incubator until ready for use (with lids slightly cracked to evaporate some moisture). Sam spread the plates after the samples were done incubating: for each sample a plate was spread with 50 µl or with 200 µl of competent cell solution. Plates were returned to 37°C incubator.

Redid GO Slim pie charts for Pinto and Oly so that GO Slim terms are non-redundant with respect to contig.
Started to work on graph depicting the contigs that match different species from blast searches. Only contains with an evalue of at least 1e-5 were used. A horizontal bar graph was made with individual O. lurida contigs on the y-axis and number of cross-species orthologs (correct term?) on the x-axis. The x-axis represents how many other species had contigs that matched the original O. lurida at the pre-determined e-value. The fewest contigs matched across all 5 species (C. gigs, P. fuctata, R. philippinarum, H. midae, D. rerio; n=574) and the most matched with just one other species (n=4,746) or 2 other species (n=4,700).

It was difficult to access the liquid that the gel slices were sitting in, so I spun them down on Millipore gel extraction columns (5,000xg for 10 minutes). I started with a subset of 8 samples. Concentrations of the cDNA product post-gel extraction can be found in the
spreadsheet. Did a PCR using 5 ng of template for each sample. Each reaction consisted of 1 µl 2.5 mM dNTPs, 1 µl 10X PCR buffer, 0.2 µl 10 µM ILL-Lib1-20 oligo, 0.2 µl 10 µM ILL-Lib2 oligo, 1 µl Titanium taq, 6.6 µl template+H2O ( volume of template varied depending on concentration). Amplified on thermal cycler following: 95°C 5 minutes; 15 cycles of 95°C 40s, 63°C 1 minute, 72°C 1 minute. Ran 3 µl of product on 1% agarose gel with EtBr (made with 1x modified TAE) for 5 minutes with TAE level below top of gel and then for 30 additional minutes with buffer covering gel (using Hyperladder II).
The smear is in the ~250-300 bp range (the tail above the smear is an artifact from dry loading the gel).
Prepped the other 24 samples the same way, but did not spin them in the millipore columns. Dropped gel band from 271 on the ground. Rinsed it with nano pure water and put back in tube. After dry loading the gel, ran for 2 minutes at 100V and then covered with TAE to run an additional 40 minutes. 300 bp band is circled in blue. Sample 271 has a faint band at a larger size than 250-300 bp (circled in white).

Made LB for plates. Mixed 100 mL of 5X LB lab stock with 400 mL nano pure water and 7.5 g Bacto agar. Swirled to mix, covered with foil, and put in autoclave at 121°C for 20 minutes (sterilization only). After flask cooled enough to touch, added 500 µl of 50 mg/µl kanamycin. Filled plates on a sterilized lab bench, let solidify, and then placed at 4°C.

Re-did PCR from yesterday to test barcode PCR, but with a couple of changes. Only ran 8 samples per reaction (samples 1-22 for A, 49-70 for B, 217-238 for C, and 264-286 for D). Also only used 5 ng of cDNA per reaction by making a dilution to 2.5 ng/µl and using 2 µl as template. The product in D is definitely brighter than the product in C, but there's still too much showing up in C.
Re-did PCR with only 1.2 µl (3 ng) of template (added 0.8 µl of water to make up the difference in volume).
Did big PCR with 15 ng (6 µl of 2.5 ng/µl dilution of cDNA) of template, 31 µl H2O, 5 µl 2.5 mM dNTP, 5 µl 10X PCR buffer, 1 µl titanium taw. Added 1 µl of each 10 µM barcode to corresponding wells (see spreadsheet 7/16/12). Amplified using same profile as 7/16/12.
Made 10X TBE: 108g Tris base, 55g boric acid, 40 mL 0.5 M EDTA (pH 8.0), and filled to 1 L with Nanopure water. Stirred for 30 minutes. Diluted to 1X with nano pure water and used to make and run gels.
Made 2% agarose gels with 1XTBE and 10 µl SYBR Safe DNA staining dye (invitrogen). Loaded entirety of PCR product into wells (dry loading) and used 10 µL of low molecular weight ladder pBR322 DNA-Msp1 Digest. Before loading, mixed 10 µl ladder with 40 µl nano pure water and 10 µl 6X loading dye. Ran gels at 100 V for 5 minutes so that product could leave well and then covered gels with 1X TBE and ran for an addition 65 minutes. Cut out bands between 250-300 bp and put bands for each individual in a labeled tube. Added 40 µl nano pure water and spun down at 10,000xg for 30 s. Stored at 4°C overnight. There were bands on the gel, but they were very light. The bands for 232-274 were much longer than the other bands and are not as completely submerged in the water.

Purified the PCR products from reaction run 7/13/12 using a NucleoMag 96 PCR Cleanup Kit. Added 60 mL 100% EtOH to buffer MP3 before beginning protocol. Divided each 100 µl PCR reaction into 2 wells per reaction in NucleoMag U plate. Added 6 µl well-mixed magnetic beads to each well and 138 µl buffer MP1 (mixed thoroughly by pipetting). Placed on magnetic separator plate for 1 minute and removed supernatant. Washed beads with 200 µl MP2 and 200 µl MP3 in succession, placing on magnetic separator and removing supernatant between each step. For second wash with MP3, added just 100 µl of buffer to each well and then combined the previously split PCR products into one well each. Put on magnetic separator and removed supernatant. Let beads dry for 10 minutes. Added 25 µl MP4 elution buffer and mixed well; let incubate 5 minutes at room temp. Placed on magnetic separator for 1 minute and collected eluted DNA (supernatant) and put into a new well plate. Quantified DNA on Nanodrop. See
spreadsheet for concentrations.
Began adaptor extension and size selection. Diluted an aliquot of the amplified, cleaned up cDNA in Nanopure water so that the concentration was 5 ng/µl. Diluted barcode oligos to 1 µM and stored in a well plate in -20°C (see spreadsheet for barcode assignments). Prepared 4 master mixes to test PCR -
master mix A: 5.8 µl H2O, 1 µl 2.5 mM dNTP, 1 µl 10X PCR buffer, 0.2 µl Titanium Taq
B: 3.8 µl H2O, 1 µl 2.5 mM dNTP, 1 µl 10X PCR buffer, 0.2 µl Titanium Taq, 2 µl 1 µM TruSeq-Mpx oligo
C: 3.8 µl H2O, 1 µl 2.5 mM dNTP, 1 µl 10X PCR buffer, 0.2 µl Titanium Taq, 2 µl 1 µM TruSeq-BC oligo
D: 1.8 µl H2O, 1 µl 2.5 mM dNTP, 1 µl 10X PCR buffer, 0.2 µl Titanium Taq, 2 µl 1 µM TruSeq-Mpx oligo, 2 µl 1 µM TruSeq-BC oligo
For each master mix, the mix was aliquoted first, followed by the oligos, and then the cDNA. The reactions were amplified in a thermal cycler: 95°C 5 minutes; 4 cycles of 95°C 40s, 63°C 1 min, 72°C 1 min. Ran out 5 µl of product on a 1% agarose gel with EtBr.
Samples in reaction D amplified, as they were supposed to. There was no amplification in reaction A, however there was amplification in reactions B and C. Tomorrow I will try the same thing again but use half the cDNA template for the reaction.

Did a full-scale PCR of the cDNA made yesterday (7/12/12). For each reaction: 59 µl H2O, 10 µl 10X buffer, 10 µl 2.5 mM dNTPs, 2 µl 5ILL oligo, 2 µl 3ILL-20TV oligo, and 2 µl titanium taq. To the 85 µl of master mix in each well added 15 µl of well-mixed cDNA. PCR profile: 95°C for 5 minutes; 17 cycles of 95°C 40 s, 63°C 1 min, 72°C 1 min. Loaded 5 µl of each PCR'd sample onto a 1% agarose gel with EtBr (Hyperladder II). At the end of the gel put on 6 samples from the C PCR that did not make it on yesterday (samples have been sitting at room temp overnight). Dry loaded the gel and ran for 5 minutes at 100 V to move the samples out of the wells (checked with UV light to make sure they had moved). Added 1x TAE buffer to cover gel and resumed running for about 55 minutes. This method seemed to somewhat fix the streaking problem in the gels.

Yesterday (7/11/12), Sam reconstituted the oligo primers and made cDNA from the RNA I fragmented 7/3/12 (see his
notebook). This morning, I accidentally contaminated the plate of cDNA and so had to start over again with the RNA fragmentation. I repeated the steps taken 7/3/12. The gel below is loaded in the same order as the previous one and was run at 110 V for ~30 minutes. The RNA again fragmented into the correct size range (100-500 bp).
After fragmentation, the fragmented RNA was used for cDNA synthesis. To each well containing ~10 µL RNA, 1 µl of 10 µM 3ILL-20TV oligonucleotide was added and mixed by pipetting. The plate was incubated at 65°C for 3 minutes and then transferred to ice. Master mix was made with the following per reaction: 1 µl Nanopure H2O, 1 µl 10 mM dNTP, 2 µl 0.1 M DTT, 4 µL 5X buffer, 1 µL 10 MM 5ILL-SW oligonucleotide, 1 µl superscript II reverse transcriptase. 10 µl of the mix was added to each well, mixed by pipetting and incubated for 1 hour at 42°C followed by a 5 minute 65°C deactivation (thermalcycler protocol = SSRT). The cDNA was diluted 1:5 by adding 80µl nanopure water.
4 master mixes were prepped to test PCR of the cDNA. Volumes below are per reaction:
master mix A: 12.6 µL H2O, 2 µL 2.5 mM dNTP, 2 µl 10x PCR buffer, 0.4 µl Titanium Taq
B: 12.2 µL H2O, 2 µL 2.5 mM dNTP, 2 µl 10x PCR buffer, 0.4 µl 10 µM 5ILL oligo, 0.4 µl Titanium Taq
C: 12.2 µL H2O, 2 µL 2.5 mM dNTP, 2 µl 10x PCR buffer, 0.4 µl 10 µM 3ILL-20TV oligo, 0.4 µl Titanium Taq
D: 11.8 µL H2O, 2 µL 2.5 mM dNTP, 2 µl 10x PCR buffer, 0.4 µl 10 µM 5ILL oligo, 0.4 µl 10 µM 3ILL-20TV oligo, 0.4 µl Titanium Taq
Each cDNA sample was amplified with each of these master mixes (18 µL master mix, 2 µL cDNA). A-C are on one plate in a thermalcycler and D is on a separate plate in a different thermalcycler. Profile: 95°C 5 minutes; 17 cycles of 95°C 40s, 63°C 1 min, 72°C 1 min. After the 17 cycles, loaded 5 µl of product on 1% agarose gels with EtBr (Hyperladder II). Did not have enough wells to load the last 10 samples from master mix C. Ran gels at 110 V for 40 minutes. Gels were loaded by column (see plate layout 7/3/12) and only the master mix signifier (A-D) is indicated on the gel photo. There was amplification in the ~100-500 bp range for master mix D only. none of the other master mixes showed amplification, although the first row on the second gel (mostly master mix A) ran too far. however, the samples in the other rows show no amplification.

Made 1 M Tris with pH = 8.0 by dissolving 6 g of Tris base in ~400 mL of water, bringing to pH 8 with 10 N HCl, then adding water to bring to 500 mL (water used was 0.1% DEPC), adjusting again to pH 8. Then diluted 1 mL of of 1 M Tris in 99 mL of 0.1% DEPC H2O and adjusted pH to be 8.
DNased (rigorous protocol) all extracted samples. Did them in 2 batches, first DNased the samples extracted 6/19 then the ones extracted 6/21/12. Diluted 10 µg of RNA in enough DEPC H2O to equal 50 µL then added 5 µL 10X TURBO buffer and 0.5 µL DNase. Incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes, added 0.5 µL more DNase and incubated another 30 minutes. Measured concentration of the first set of samples using the nanodrop (in triplicate). See
spreadsheet for details.
Made a 1 % agarose gel with EtBr. Dry loaded 5 µl of each RNA sample onto gel and ran for ~25 minutes at 110 V to check quality of DNased RNA. Some of the samples look streaky because the sample probably got injected into the gel instead of in the well. The bright bands are rRNA. There is no sign of genomic contamination.

Did the same protocol for fragmentation as yesterday with the following changes:
-fragmentation times were 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes
-Did the same dilution of unfragmented RNA as was done for fragmented (1 µg in 10 µL DEPC H2O)
-dry loaded the gel
-did not load non-DNased RNA
-loaded all 10 µl on gel
25 minutes seems to be the ideal fragmentation time since the majority of the RNA is between 100 and 500 bp.

The previous file used for interspecies comparison of contigs with pinto abalone was redundant (multiple entries for each contig due to multiple GO annotations). Redid joining other species blastn files in Galaxy with pinto abalone annotated with just SPIDs (this file is non-redundant, Galaxy 151). Pinto abalone contigs that annotate with SPIDs with an evalue cut-off of 1e-5 = 1,351. D. rerio contigs that match at the e-value cut-off to the contigs annotated with SPIDs at the cut-off are 625, 848 H. midae contigs, 797 C. gigas, 712 O. lurida, 557 P. fuctata, and 499 R. philippinarum. Redid Venn diagrams - numbers in black represent the contigs that uniquely match to that species' database, numbers in italic gray represent contigs that are represented by 2 or 3 databases. Also redid Venns for the Oly contigs so that numbers are now correct.

Tested incubation time for RNA fragmentation for 3' Tag-based RNA-Seq (Meyer protocol). Used 3 samples of C. gigas gill RNA from previous experiments: T.ISO3 (803.11 ng/µl), PLY3 (351.44 ng/µl), and gill from 10/20/10 (1230.85 ng/µl). Aliquoted 1 µg of RNA from each sample (1.25, 2.85, and 0.81 µL, respectively) into 10 µL of 0.1% DEPC H2O. Each sample was aliquoted into 4 separate PCR strip tube wells to incubate at 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes at 95°C. After incubation, samples were put on ice until time to load all on gel. Also loaded on the 1% agarose gel with EtBr was 100 ng of the unfragmented DNased RNA (diluted in DEPC H2O) and 5 µL of a 1:10 dilution of the un-DNased RNA. 5 µL of each sample was mixed with 0.5 µL of 10x loading buffer. A HyperII ladder was used. For each time point, the samples were loaded in the following order: TISO3, PLY3, gill. The gel was run for about 1 hour at 100V.
The main part of the RNA smear that we are interested in is obscured by the dye front. Am going to do the same thing tomorrow, but dry load the gel without dye so that I can clearly see the RNA smear. I will not do the 5 minute incubation time tomorrow because the RNA is not fragmented enough. Also, more unfragmented RNA needs to be loaded as a control (the lines are very faint).

Fixed the Oly blast to H. midae file and rejoined blast results in Galaxy (Galaxy 144). For comparative species analysis, only used Oly contigs that were annotated with SPID of at least 1e-5 and only used blastn results that matched with e-value of at least 1e-5. For the SPID cut-off, this is 15918 contigs. At this cut-off, 13,064 C. gigas contigs matched to Oly contigs, 9,078 P. fuctata contigs, 1,543 R. philippinarum contigs, 2,002 H. midae contigs, 6,081 D. rerio contigs.
Redid numbers for Venn diagrams so that the numbers for the overlap between data sets represent those contigs annotated by only those 2 datasets (i.e. for a D. rerio-C. gigas overlap the number of contigs would be those that are shared between those 2 databases and are not found in the 3rd database). Deleted previous Venn files.

Looked over the 8 histo slides with Carolyn (see 5/24/12). Took some pictures of slides as references for identifying anatomical features.
For quantifying metaplasia, calculate the proportion of tubules that are dilated. Normal tubules have a 4-point star-like shape in the middle, whereas dilated ones are more open with rounded centers (cuboidal metaplasia).
diapedesis: hemocytes move through epithelium. Especially look for in intestinal epithelium. Define range of metaplasia seen and develop ranking score.
Vacuolization: occurs within epithelium of digestive tubules or intestine. Sometimes vacuolization is a response to stress.
Sloughing of cellular material into digestive tubules.
Gill: look for normal structure (epithelium, amount of mucous cells, ciliary tuft structure, vacuoles), hemocyte influx
For the kinds of hist sections I have (which are inconsistent) it will be easiest to look at/quantify changes in the digestive gland, germinal follicles, and gills.

For the genes of interest for phylogenetics (see 6/21/12) imported the sequences that matched the same pinto ab contig in blastn searches (in file Galaxy 141). The 7 sequences correspond to pinto ab, olympia oyster, c. gigas, pearl oyster, manila clam, H. midae, and D. rerio. In the first alignment, the manila clam and O. lurida sequences did not align well, so I took the reverse complements of both and realigned for a better result. Alignments were made according to the following parameters: cost matrix 65% similarity (5.0/-4.0); gap open penalty 12; gap extension penalty 3; global alignment with free end gaps; automatically determine sequences' direction; 2 refinement iterations.
Made a phylogenetic tree in Geneious using PHYML plug-in: HKY85 substitution model, 100 bootstraps, transition/transversion ratio for DNA models fixed at 4, proportion of invariable sites fixed at 0, number of substitution rate categories 1, Gamma distribution parameter estimated, no optimization.

Need to choose genes to do phylogenetics. Created a list of contigs that are shared across all species data sets. Filtered according to e-value: only used contigs that were annotated by SPID at at least 1e-5 and that matched pinto abalone contigs with an e-value of at least 1e-5. This ended up being 116 contigs once redundancies were removed due to multiple GO term matches. Those highlighted in green are from non-eukaryotes or plants and those in pink text are potentially interesting stress genes. 13 of the entries match to organisms that were probably contaminating the RNA sample. Genes of interest for phylogenetics include: heat shock cognate 70, eukaryotic translation initiation factor, HSP 90, HSP 82, HSP 83, HSP 70, v-type proton ATPase, transmembrane protein 85 (implicated in apoptosis).

Downloaded blastx results that SR did 6/15/12 (annotations of pinto ab contigs with swissprot IDs). Joined with Swissprot-GO association file and then with GO to GO Slim file (Galaxy 110). 34,959 contigs were annotated with SPIDs. Downloaded file and removed all redundant entries (7,389 contigs) and filtered data so that analyzed only those contigs that were annotated by SPID with an e-value of at least 1e-5 and corresponded to biological processes according to GO terms (1,358 contigs). After removing "other biological processes" and "other metabolic processes" there were 951 contigs left that met the above criteria. Made a pivot table of these GO Slim terms - see pie chart below.
Uploaded pinto contig file annotated with SPIDs and GO terms into Galaxy. Also uploaded blast results from blasting pinto contigs against species specific databases C. gigas, H. midae, O. lurida, P. functata, Manila clam, and D. rerio. Joined the files in the order listed by matching H. kam contig numbers. This final file is Galaxy 130. Deleted all entries with SPID annotation of pinto contig greater than 1e-5. 767 C. gigas contigs correspond to Pinto contigs with a blastn e-value of at least 1e-5, 945 H. midae contigs, 717 O. lurida contigs, 564 pearl oyster contigs, 493 Manila clam contigs, and 614 Danio contigs.

Did RNA extractions for 8 samples from experiment 2 (started 1/14/12 and sampled 2/11/12). Will begin sequencing effort with highest pCO2 samples (101B), tubes numbered Exp2.1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 49, 52, 55, 58, 61, 64, 67, 70 and control (103B), tubes numbered Exp2.217, 220, 223, 226, 229, 232, 235, 238, 265, 268, 271, 274, 277, 280, 283, 286. All of these tubes are anterior gill samples. Today extracted RNA from Exp2, 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22. Used Tri Reagent and followed manufacturer's protocol. Weighed the tissues before sampling. Only one (Exp2.13) was > 0.1 g, so I cut it in half and returned the remaining half to the -80C. All extractions had large pellets and to dissolve them I added 200 µl 0.1% DEPC H2O to the dried pellet and heated at 55°C for ~5 minutes. Pipetted multiple times to homogenize and measured concentration on the Nanodrop, 3 times for each sample (2 µL each time). Stored samples in gray plastic box in -80, labeled FHL OA: Secondary Stress Exp 2 RNA Box 1.

Downloaded SR's annotation of Oly contigs with swissprot ID and GO Slim terms (downloaded data set that has already been filtered to include e-values of at least 1e-5). This file includes 77,384 entries. Filtered so that it's just biological processes and then filtered so that only unique entries remained (19,191 entries). Made a pivot table of the remaining GO Slim terms. Removed "other metabolic processes" and "other biological processes" and 14,660 annotation remained. Made a pie chart.
Downloaded Oly SPID annotated file that has not been filtered for e-values less than 1e-5, edited so just contained contig name, SPID, and e-value and uploaded to Galaxy.
Also uploaded Oly contigs blasted to species-specific databases: C. gigas, pearl oyster, Manila clam, Haliotis midae, and zebrafish.
Joined datasets based on Oly contig number in the order listed above. Every new blast result dataset is joined with the original Oly dataset (always keep original entry even if it doesn't match). File for Oly joined to C. gigas is Galaxy 103, with added pearl oyster is Galaxy 104, with added ruphi base is galaxy 105, with added H. midae is galaxy 106, and with added zebrafish is galaxy 107.
Within excel, filtered out blast hits so that only those of at least 1e-5 remain. For Oly contigs matching SPIDs, this is 15,918 entries. For Oly contigs annotated by C. gigas contigs = 13,064 entries, annotated by pearl oyster = 9,078, Manila clam = 1, 543, H. midae = 1,976, and Danio = 6, 081.
Made Venn diagrams of gigas vs. pearl vs. clam annotations of Oly contigs; of gigas vs. pearl vs. H. midae; and of gigas vs. pearl vs. Danio. For each diagram the order that the taxa are listed in correspond to a, b, and c (pink, green, blue). Below is the Venn for the gigas vs. pearl vs. Danio.

Took blastall file from 4/30/12 (de novo 7 blasted against swissprot) and put only SPIDs in the second column. Uploaded to galaxy (blastall DN7-SPID) and joined with the swissprot associations file and then with GO to GO slim terms (Galaxy 93). Removed redundant entries and filtered by e-value to retain only non-redundant (39,697 contigs) that were annotated in SwissProt at the cut-off (6,759 contigs). From these remaining contigs, made a pivot table of the GO Slim terms corresponding to biological processes (1,532 contigs) and the pie chart below (1,101 contigs fit all these criteria and were annotated by GO Slim)

Joined file = Galaxy 89. Also joined crassostrea and strongylocentrotus (Galaxy 90). There's an overlap of 488 contigs between haliotis and crassostrea, 339 between haliotis and strongylocentrotus, 290 between all 3. There is a 314 contig overlap between crassostrea and strongylocentrotus annotations. For the input file to make a venn diagram, a = haliotis, b = crassostrea, c = strongylocentrotus.

Did local blast in clc of de novo 7 consensus sequences against H. sapiens ref seq db, S. purpuratus all ESTs db, and C. gigas ESTs from Sigenae db. Parameters used are described 4/24/12.
Exported the MultiBLAST results for each db blast from CLC. For each result file, only the blast results corresponding to the lowest e-value are used. Results were filtered by e-value and downstream analyses only make use of contigs that blasted to the db with an e-value of at least 1e-5 (see table below).
Uploaded files of contigs resulting from the D. rerio and H. sapiens multiblasts into Galaxy (according to described specifications). Joined the tables by pinto abalone contig number to see if there is overlap between the annotations (Galaxy 79). There was an overlap of 239 contigs between the 2 blast results. Then did the same for the Haliotis multiblast results and compared the contigs annotated to the H. sapiens file and the D. rerio file. Compared all 3 by joining haliotis with h. sapiens and then joining with d. rerio. Haliotis db annotated 292 contigs in common with the H. sapiens db and 321 in common with D. rerio. There was a 228 contig overlap among all 3 databases. In the venn diagram haliotis annotations = a, homo sapiens = b, and danio rerio = c.

Ceramide: vibrio gene expression
Redid t-tests in R comparing expression in control and treatment. ACMase is still differentially expressed (p<0.05), but 3KDSR is also differentially expressed. Using a boxcox plot to check for skewness, ACMase and CgT needed to be transformed (reciprocal transformation and squareroot, respectively). T-tests after data transformations resulted in the same relationship between control and exposed expression: significantly different for ACMase and not different for CgT.

I helped Miranda and Selina design primers for genes involved in the immune response and calcification in the pinto abalone. We found genes homologous to ferritin, perlinhibin, proteasome subunit alpha, and sodium bicarbonate transporter in the NGS data and designed primers for all of them. I'm going to design EF1a primers for them. I downloaded Haliotis EF1a mRNA from NCBI: H. rufescencs (DQ087488), H. tuberculata (FN566842), H. diversicolor (EF553516), and H. diversicolor (AY953390). Imported sequenced to geneious and assembled (all 4 assembled together). Made a consensus sequence from the assembly. Imported consensus sequences from de novo 7 assembly into the "Haliotis" folder. The best hit was contig 7244, which covered the entire 1610 of the consensus sequence from the assembled multi-haliotis EF1a. The designed primers overlap with the area of contig 7244 that aligns with the haliotis consensus EF1a.

Joined MultiBLAST tables with SPIDS with GO and GO slim terms in Galaxy for de novo 7 and SR assemblies of pinto ab data. Exported these tables and made pivot tables of the GOSlim terms for just biological processes (have not tried to remove redundancy or filter for e-value, except for the original MultiBLAST in clc with a cutoff of e=1e-5). The SR assembly had 4077 contigs annotated to GO Slim and 2913 once other biological and metabolic processes were removed. 12 Go Slim categories are represented in the data.
The de novo 7 assembly had 4366 contigs, 3152 without other biological and metabolic processes. 12 GO Slim categories are represented. The de novo 7 assembly had more contigs in all categories (compared to SR's assembly) except for cell-cell signaling and death (see table below).

Results from blast of SR's assembly to Haliotis db (4/24/12): 8291 sequences matched to the db.
To compare performance of the 2 assemblies (SR's and de novo 7), exported consensus sequences and uploaded into wetgenes to do blastalls (blastx) against swissprot. The results will be uploaded into Galaxy and joined with the contig names that correspond to a blast hit (against the Haliotis db) with an evalue of at least 1e-5. This will show the breadth of coverage achieved by both assemblies. Will also compare the number of contigs returned by each one (total and corresponding to an evalue of at least 1e-5).

Previous download of H. sapiens did not work so reinitiated download of all H. sapiens ESTs from GenBank.
New de novo assemblies of trimmed pinto reads since the de novo previously used assembled relatively few reads and we'd like to capture more of the data. For de novo 3: mismatch cost=1, limit=6, fast ungapped alignment, conflict resolution by voting, ignore non-specific matches, min contig length = 100, map reads back to contigs and create a summary report. For de novo assembly 4, used all the same parameters as 3 except mismatch cost = 1, limit = 1, and min contig length = 200.

Flushed the syringe twice and emptied tube before starting the first sample (started with mid). Ran all 3 samples 3-4 times, recording the temp and salinity and then ran CRM 116. Turned on all the TA equipment and water bath for 1/2 hour to warm up. Ran all 2 junks and all 3 refs on TA and calculated DIC from known pCO2 and TA. Used the reference average total sums to calculate the total sum-pCO2 relationship.
Ran 24 samples for DIC and 23 for TA.

When I arrived at FHL, Cory had been using the DIC and TA instruments all day so they were calibrated and warmed up. I ran 3 samples on both instruments (DIC first, then TA): Muk lab #10 4/10/12 5:40 pm, Muk lab #10 3/26 12:57 pm, Muk GHA in 3/26/12 1:00 pm. For the first sample on DIC, there were really large peaks pre-injection of sample. I figured out that the syringe needs to be flushed 2 times (and tube emptied) between each injection (as well as between samples, i.e. inter- and intrasample). For each sample, DIC is measured 3 or 4 independent times, with 2 syringe flushes in between each measurement. Cory had some CRM 116 left over from earlier in the day so I ran a CRM a the beginning and end of my 3 experimental TA samples.
In the evening (~7:30 pm), I zero'd the reference on the Licor and set up the standards for tomorrow. The standards are 3 seawater samples of 1800 mL each bubbled with a known concentration of pCO2 overnight. These are run first thing on the DIC, followed by a CRM, to make a standard curve.

blast in clc done yesterday didn't work. Downloaded Sigenae v8 ESTs from crassostreome and uploaded into clc to make a local db for blasting (saved in folder trimmed de novo blasts). Imported external file to make db, sequence type nucleotide. Did a local blast: selected consensus sequences from de novo assembly of both pinto ab libraries, chose blastn, used sigenae v8 as the db, low complexity, expect 1, word size 11, no of processors 2, match/mismatch 1 and -3, gap cost open 5 and gap cost extension 2, create overview blast table and create one blast result per query.
Downloaded all mRNA sequences for Strongylocentrotus purpuratus and repeated the above steps to do a local blast against a purple sea urchin database (except did not create one blast results per query).
Downloaded all mRNA sequences for Danio rerio from NCBI and did a local blast on clc.
For analyses of the blast results in Galaxy, only the blast hit with the lowest e-value will be used (as opposed to greatest identity %, greatest positive %, or greatest hit length). Took accession numbers from best e-value hit for C. gigas blast results and put them into blastall on the INquiry portal: blastx, swissprot, 1 short description, 1 alignment, tabular output. Did the same for S. purpuratus.

Met with Peter Westley (Quinn lab) to talk about using ImageJ to quantify shell corrosion on the inside of shells. He thinks I should use the polygon function to measure the total shell pixel area and the area of the white spots. To take better pictures, he suggests using a regular digital camera attached to a stand so that it is parallel to the bench top. Put the oyster shell on a white background (probably use only the flat valve to minimize problems with glare), include a scale of some sort, and light with a couple of regular desk lamps. Try to take a picture with the maximum resolution - raw if possible, or tiff, try to make the pictures 4 MB.

Edited file so that there are only 3 columns: Sigenae ID, Swissprot ID, and e-value and uploaded into Galaxy (file 43). Joined this file with GO annotations using Swissprot IDs (Galaxy 44) and then joined with GO Slim terms (Galaxy 45). This file was exported and is called: Galaxy 45 - annotated proteins from blastall.xlsx. Sorted by GO type so that only biological processes were left and then sorted by e-value (cut off =1e-5). Made pivot table from GO slim terms.

Analysis of size data (t0 and t 1 month) for Experiment 2, 1 month OA exposure.
Did a linear regression of shell weight on buoyant weight since for t0 we only have BW and for t1mo we have both weights. BW (adjusted for forcep mass) is a decent predictor of shell weight via the eqn: y=0.8329(x)+0.2581. Buoyant weight and total weight are also highly correlated, as are shell weight and total weight. Lenght, width, and LxW are not well correlated to BW.
Based on a one-way ANOVA with pCO2 as the fixed factor, there is no difference in shell weight (using BW as a proxy) within treatments at either time point or across time points (t-test was used for the latter).
Secondary stress: proteomics
From file Galaxy 36-annotated proteomics, took all Sigenae IDs that had a nsp-adjusted probability of at least 0.9 and retrieved contig sequences from Sigenae, this file is contigs for galaxy 36 proteins. Sigenae only returned 571 contigs out of 604 total. Did a blastall in wetgenes (blastx against swissprot db).
In Galaxy, joined the Sigenae ID columns in the Galaxy 36 dataset with GO annotations (Galaxy 41). Then joined with GO Slim terms (Galaxy 42) and exported file (Galaxy 42- Go annotated proteins.xlsx). These data were filtered for nsp-adjusted probability of at least 0.9 and biological process GO category. The resulting GO Slim terms were put into a pivot table.

Explanation of how ProteinProphet produces a protein probability - from Nesvizhskii et al. 2003.
Background of protein sequencing and identification: Proteins are cleaved (by trypsin) and the complexity of the peptide mixture is reduced by chromatography separation. After this separation, the mixture is subjected to reverse-phase chromatography coupled with mass spec. Peptides are ionized and ions are subjected to fragmentation to produce tandem mass spectra. The spectra are entered into a database search (e.g. SEQUEST). Such programs create a theoretical database of spectra based on the protein sequences so that the data (spectra) from the mass spec are actually assigned to these theoretical spectra that correspond to an accession number in the db. SEQUEST creates a Qscore (kind of like an e-value) that takes into account the total number of identified peptides in the data set and the number of peptides that correspond to each protein. This QScore and the peptide sequence are the inputs into ProteinProphet.
degenerate peptide = sequence is present in more than a single entry in the database, in ProteinProphet degenerate peptides are assigned to all of their hits (degeneracy is usually due to db redundancy)
probability of observed data being correct (p(+|D)) = the model learns to distinguish correct and incorrect peptide assignments based on the particular db and so computes a probability for each peptide assignment being correct. By using the data itself to "learn", the method is robust to sample purity, mass spectral quality, proteolytic digest efficiency, etc.
Number of sibling peptides = if a peptide is part of a "multihit" protein (high coverage) then it has a high NSP. NSP is the expected number of other correctly identified peptides corresponding to the same protein.
Combining p(+|D) and NSP: If a single hit peptide has a p(+|D) close to 1, then it is penalized less for its low NSP.
Example data using ProteinProphet: all probabilities of at least 0.99 were correctly assigned and only 3 were incorrect at >0.9. 92% of correct peptide assignments have NSP > 5, majority of incorrect assignments have NSP < 0.25. More MS runs of the same data increases coverage so that more correctly identified proteins are multihit (have a large NSP).

Explanations of protein output data (also found
at ).
weight: contribution of peptide among each of multiple sequence entries, * = unique entry
nsp adjusted probability: probability is adjusted based on number of sibling peptides found for that protein (the greater the number of sibling peptides, the greater the probability)
Initial probability: probability assigned by ProteinProphet without regard to corresponding protein
NTT (number of tolerable termini): 0, 1, or 2 expected cleavage termini
nsp bin: 0-7, # of sibling peptides after discretization
total: number of instances peptide was identified in dataset

Made a list of just the Sigenae contig numbers that corresponded to the sequenced proteins and joined this list with a file of Sigenae contig numbers with their top blast hit to a protein (Galaxy 5 Cg Sigenae 8 best hits). This essentially annotates the list of proteins that were sequenced. Exported the file from Galaxy and removed all proteins that didn't have a clear annotation - i.e. deleted all that were simply "hypothetical" proteins or predicted proteins without a function. This file saved in excel workbook Galaxy 32 - annotated proteins 031212.
Took ProteinProphet output file (proteomics output first gill sample.xlsx) and edited it so that each protein was on one row. An extra column was added so that Sigenae ID has only the first ID and all IDs are in a separate column. Saved as a text file and joined with Sigenae 8 best hits in Galaxy. Saved as Galaxy 36-annotated proteomics.xlsx.

Sorted tubes from Experiment 1 today. Exp.1-200 were divided between 2 boxes so that odd number tubes are in one box and even in the other (NB: Exp1.199 is out of order because one spot was skipped). This should divide up duplicate samples for oysters since 2 gill samples were taken in consecutive tubes for each animal. Heat shocked samples (collected 1/20/12) are in their own box and LHT are in one half with SLT+LHT in the other half (except for 103B LHT2, which is in the overflow box). Exp1.201-249 are in a fourth box.
I also organized all the samples from Experiment 2 (1 month exposure). Samples are divided between boxes by tissue type: anterior gill, posterior gill, and whole body. It appears that there never was a tube Exp2.387 so the sample sheet will be adjusted accordingly.

The focus of my analysis is now going to be completely on gene discovery. I am going to do a comparison of gene discovery using a de novo assembly vs. a backbone assembled from available H. asinina reads.
De novo assembly of trimmed reads: reads assembled to create 9,301 reference sequences. Exported pdf of mapping summary report. Opened de novo and selected all contigs and chose "open consensus". Exported FASTA file of consensus sequences.
Reads mapped back to H. asi backbone: did the same as above - extracted consensus sequences from 1122 references and exported FASTA file. (NB: these are still the untrimed reads)
For both files of consensus sequences, imported into the SAFS Inquiry portal to do a blastall. Blastall run with same parameters as Jan 9, 2012: blastx against swissprot db, etc.
Workflow for results from H.asi backbone:
- opened blastall file in excel and separated columns by "|"; made sure there were no gaps in the data (saved as blastall Hasi backbone.txt)
- uploaded into galaxy and joined with the uniprot swissprot IDs file based on swissprot IDs (1st column in uniprot file, 5th in blastall file) = job 20; kept unmantching and incomplete lines
- joined resulting table (column 5) with swissprot associations file (column 2) - couldn't keep unmatching and incomplete lines because kept on getting an error = job 23
- joined resulting table (column 25) with GO to GO Slim file column 1, keeping unmatching and incomplete lines = job 24
- exported into excel and saved as Galaxy Hasi backbone.xlsx
- Made a tab with the data filtered for only biological processes
- filtered the biological processes to those with evalues less than or equal to 1e-5 in a new tab
- Used the GO Slim terms to make a pivot table and pie chart of the processes discovered (see below)
- exported unique swissprot IDs from the blastall file to DAVID as the background list and exported the filtered (biol process, e-value cut-off) unique list of IDs as the gene list. Used the functional annotation tool, selected Gene Ontology, and exported the GO_TERM_BP FAT file. (see below)
- Pasted GO terms with associated p-values into revigo.
Workflow results for de novo assembly (same as above but differences are noted):
- blastall file - blastall de novo.txt
- join with uniprot/swissprot IDs= job26
- join with swissprot associations=job 27
- join with GO to GO slim file = job 28
- saved as Galaxy de novo.xlsx

The electricity was turned off this afternoon for about 15 minutes around 1:30 pm. When it came back on all the controllers were in manual mode and so the pH went up for all the treatments to 8.1-8.2. They were set back to auto around 3:30 pm.
All tanks were cleaned. There were no mortalities although many of the oysters from the 44°C HS were slow to close their valves upon emersion (lethargic).

No mortality from HS 2/12/12 for small C. gigas.
Secondary stressor
Heat shocked oysters - 1 oyster from each container (n = 8) per treatment at each temperature: 42, 43, and 44°C. Oysters were randomly taken from each container measured (length, width), weighed (total weight and buoyant weight) and labeled with nail polish corresponding to the treatment from which they came. HS was comprised of a 10 minute warm-up followed by 1 hour in 800 mL of heated seawater. The same water was used for 42 and 43°C, but the water was changed for 44°C. After HS, the oysters were all returned to ambient conditions (pH = 8.03, T = 13°C) for observation over 1 week. In each container, there is one oyster from each treatment. Oysters HS'd at 42°C are in 103B, 43°C are in 102B and 44°C are in 103A. Time that HS occurred was also recorded.
Put all histo samples in 70% EtOH.

Secondary stressor and Multispecies OA
Sampling day! Sampling began around 8 am and ended around 3 pm. From each of the 6 pCO2 treatments, oysters were sacrificed in 3 groups of 8 (1 from each container in each group of 8). The first group was sampled as controls, the second group underwent mechanical stress and the third group was another control. After being removed from their containers, each oyster was measured (length and width) and weighed (total weight and buoyant weight). Oysters were then shucked by Mac who also sampled the anterior gill and poster gill lamellae (in 2 separate tubes). Steven took a cross-section that included digestive gland and gill and a slice of the adductors muscle, which were immediately fixed in Invertebrate Davidson's solution (oysters from 101B and 102B sections were not fixed right away, all 8 were stockpiled until the end and then all put in the fixative at the same time). SR then put the remaining body in a third tube. I removed excess tissue from the shell, dried the shell, labeled both valves, and weighed the shell. The shells were saved in large weigh boats to air dry. For the control oysters, after measurements were taken the oysters were left sitting on the lab bench for 5 minutes before sampling. For the mechanically stressed oysters, after measurements all 8 oysters were spun together in a salad spinner (by Ro) for 5 minutes, after which they were immediately sampled. All samples were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C.

When I went down to the lab this morning the power had tripped to the 101 and 102 tanks again (it had been off for about 2 hours). I turned it back on. Heaters didn't seem to be working correctly in 101 tanks so I set them to autotune.

Matt fixed the relay in the controller for 102B in the afternoon so it is now working correctly. However, in the evening the heater for 101B was staying on even though the temperature was 13.6°C (and rising). By 9:30 pm, the temp was at 13.9°C and I unplugged the heater for the night. Also, during the day the power kept on shorting out for tanks 101 and 102. When this happens, the controller for 102 for some reason automatically goes to manual mode and makes the pH creep up towards 8 (there were a lot of pH fluctuations for 102A and B today).
Did spec pH of source water and containers 3 and 4 for all treatments. Spec pH is corrected for temperature (13°C) using a TA of 2095 µmol/kg.

The temperature in 102B is about 11.9°C and the heater is not going on, meaning that there is something wrong with the relay. I'm not sure how to fix this, so I texted Matt about the problem with no response (it is a weekend).

Secondary stress and Multispecies OA
The water pressure was still bad in the 102 tanks this morning. I had removed the feeding coil and other parts so that it was just the one tube carrying water leading to the drippers (I put the feeding apparatus back together before the morning feeding but removed it soon after the pumps finished delivering food to maintain water flow to the tanks). Matt came and looked at it and realized that somehow the air had not been turned on enough after he had fixed the solenoid yesterday. He turned the air up and the water pressure problem was fixed. This means that from yesterday afternoon until this morning 102A and 102B were less aerated (had less O2) than the other treatment tanks.
Took spec pH of all cooler water and adjusted for temperature (13°C) using a TA of 2095 µmol/kg.

Sampled remaining live oysters: measured length, width, total weight, buoyant weight and sampled gills (flash froze in liquid N2 and stored at -80°C). Tube numbers are indicated in parentheses above after the number oysters alive.
Mortality from geoduck HS: 0 morts from 22, 25, 28, and 29°C. 5 morts at 30 °C and 1 mort at 31°C (1 geoduck is missing since there is only one left).
Mortality from small C. gigas HS: 0 mortalities at all temperatures.
Cleaned feeding lines going to tanks. Emptied all salt water and algae from the buckets and refilled ~1/3 with DI water. Used this same DI water to wipe down the sides of the bucket and flushed out the lines with this DI water/old algae mixture. Once buckets were empty of this liquid, refilled all the way with new DI water and flushed the lines. After the DI water was flushed through, Filled buckets to ~2/3 with salt water and ran through the lines. At the end, refilled the buckets with salt water and algae for the next feeding.

Did total alkalinity and spec pH of all source water and container 7s. Poisoned 600 mL of water from container 8s for later analysis (with 75 µL HgCl2). Spec pH is corrected for temperature (13°C) using the given TA. The containers in 102A are a higher pH than the source water, which is unusual. I think this is because there was a lot of pH fluctuation in 102A today (see below) and there's a lag in what the containers experience relative to the source water during pH variation.

The solenoid in tank 102 had to be replaced because it was not working properly (CO2 was not being dispensed appropriately to meet and maintain the set point pH). After it was replaced, I re-calibrated the probes using spec pH and ran accutune.
The am feeding seemed to have clogged some of the tubing in 102A. I replaced the part that was clogged and it is working fine now.
All the animals in the sea tables were fed.
Mortality from HS 1/27/12: 1 in 103A and 1 in 102B.
Geoduck mortality: 1 in 101A7 and 1 in 102A7.
Heat shocked geoduck at 29 and 30°C for 1 hour each. Mortality from yesterday's 'duck HS: 7 dead from 31°C and 1 dead from 28°C, although it looks to have died from being crushed. The three "live" geoduck from the 31 HS may not really be alive, but it was hard to tell if they were truly dead or just extremely lethargic from the stress.
Heat shocked 10 small Pacific oysters each at 40, 41, 42, and 43°C (10 minute warm up followed by 1 hour HS). Zip tie colors correspond to the following temperatures: pink = 40, purple = 41, yellow = 42, red = 43.

Calibrated temperature in all coolers.
Had to manually adjust CO2 flow in 102A and B and 104B this morning because they were not reaching the correct set points. The pH had settled by the afternoon so I ran accutune in 102A and B (don't think it is needed in 104B).
Cleaned all containers. Fed animals in sea tables.
Mortality from HS 1/27/12: 1 in 104B, 3 in 103A, 1 in 102B, 1 in 104A, 1 in 101B, 1 in 103B.
Today I helped to sample the oysters in Carolyn's experiment - took samples of mantle, gill, and the rest of the body for 1 C. gigas from each of her containers in 101A and 102A.
We are trying to find the lethal temperature for the geoduck seed. We are doing HS starting at 21°C at every 3 degrees. Today, HS was done at 21, 25, 28, and 31°C. The geoduck were not looking good after the 31°C - gaping, lethargic, siphons unresponsive to stimulation.

102B is having trouble getting up to its set point pH (7.87). I turned the CO2 flow down so there is less CO2 entering the Venturi.
Bioinformatics
downloaded all H. asinina ESTs (8,355) from GenBank and uploaded FASTA into CLC. This is the abalone with the greatest number of ESTs. Did de novo assembly of these ESTs: mismatch cost 2, insertion cost 3, deletion cost 3, length fraction 0.5, similarity 0.8, vote for conflict resolution, random non-specific matches, min contig length 200, map reads back to contigs.
This will be the Hasi backbone. Mapped both libraries back to the Hasi backbone. Made consensus sequences of Hasi assembly. Mapped both Pinto libraries back to Hasi backbone: mismatch cost 2, limit 8, fast ungapped alignment, vote conflict resolution, random non-specific matches.

Bioinformatics
Did some research on abalone phylogeny to find out if there is a closely related species to pinto abalone that may have a lot of data in GenBank to use as a backbone for assembly. In Coleman and Vacquier (2002), pinto abalone clusters the most closely to Haliotis sorenseni (white abalone) but is also in the same clade as H. rufescens (red abalone) and H. walallensis (flat abalone) based on intergenic spacer regions of ribosomal DNA (ITS) markers. In general, these markers showed very little variation within the North Pacific clade (shown below).
Number of sequences in NCBI:
H. sorenseni: no ESTs, 71 nucleotide
H. rufescens: 225 nucleotide, 358 ESTs
H. walallensis: 21 nucleotide, no ESTs
H. corrugata: 467 nucleotid, no ESTs
H. cracherodii: no ESTs, 87 nucleotide
H. fulgens: 136 nucleotide, no ESTs
Downloaded all H. rufescens ESTs from NCBI and uploaded FASTA file into CLC. Ran de novo assembly: mismatch cost 2, insertion cost 3, deletion cost 3, length fraction 0.5, similarity 0.8, conflict resolution vote, non-specific matches random, minimum contig length 200, map reads back to contigs. Also did a regular sequence assembly: did not trime seqs before assembly, min aligned read length 50, medium alignment stringency, vote for conflicts, create full contigs including trace data for output. Did the same assembly but this time created only consensus sequences. The de novo assembly resulted in 41 references; the first regular assembly resulted in 56 contigs.
Downloaded all EST and mRNA sequences for the species listed above.
Sequence assembly of H. rufescens ESTs and mRNA from NCBI: 50 min aligned read lengths, medium alignment stringency, vote for conflicts, create only consensus seqs.
Sequence assembly of all abalone ESTs and mRNA from NCBI: same parameters as above.
There are now 2 backbones: H. rufescens (Hruf backbone) and all North Pacific abalone species (allab backbone).
Mapped the untrimmed reads from sequencing (air and high CO2 together) back to the Hruf and allab backbones. Parameters: mismatch cost 2, limit 8, fast ungapped alignment, vote for conflict resolution, random non-specific matches. The mapped reads are saved within the directories that contain the contigs that make up the backbones in a file called "seqs mapped to ref".

Ran Elene's TA samples. Cory made a new batch of acid and I tried to calibrate it with CRM 113 but couldn't get a consistent enough TA value so I will try again tomorrow.
Did spec pH on all source water. Spec pH is corrected for temperature (13°C) at a TA of 2099 µmol/kg. Matt fixed the controllers in tanks 104 so I calibrated the Durafets, reset the set points, and ran accutune.

Animals in sea tables fed.
The stopcock between the water coming the containers and incoming water had been shut off and some point and not put back on so there was no new water circulating in the tanks. Food had gotten in from the peristaltic pumps. Opened the stopcock so water could start circulating.

Cleaned tanks and did mortality checks. There were 3 geoduck mortalities: 1 in 102A1, 1 in 102A2, and 1 in 102A5. Photo was sent to CSF and shells were preserved. One of the clams in 102A3 was discovered to be an empty shell and was discarded (measurements = 12 x 16 mm). There is a slight chance that the oysters in 101A5 and 101A6 were switched and are now in the other container (the incorrect lid may have been put on the containers). One of the manila clams in 101A4 has a large crack in its shell but still appears to be alive.
The feeding lines were flushed with DI water. The buckets were filled with DI water and left to run into empty buckets until empty. The buckets were then filled halfway with salt water and that was run through the lines. The sides of the buckets were wiped down to remove residual algae. After cleaning, the buckets were refilled with salt water and 19 mL of algae and the animals were fed. During the cleaning process, the amount of liquid that comes out of the lines in 30 s was measured with a graduated cylinder for each tank. The amounts were pretty much the same between tanks (28 or 30 mL per 30 s). In the morning, ~1 mL of water from the drippers was taken during feeding for algal cell counts as described 1/27/12.

Algae counts: During the morning feeding, around 9:50 am, collected ~1 mL of water + algae directly from the drippers from each container #1. Counted the algae cells in a hemocytometer. I will repeat this for another container this evening or tomorrow morning. Also counted the cells from 1 mL of water taken directly from a feeding bucket. Samples were shaken before being loaded onto the hemocytometer. All counts are for the entire center square of the hemocytometer (i.e. 1 square millimeter). The counts were done in duplicate for each sample.

104B keeps on dipping down to a low pH (about 7.5) and then righting itself. In general, it fluctuates but stays within an acceptable range. Ran accutune to try to get it under better control.
Sea table animals fed.
Heat shock: Did LHT HS of oysters that were HS'd at SLT on 1/13/12. Oysters were warmed at 44°C for 10 minutes before HS at 44°C for 1 hour (monitored constantly by the Fluke temperature probe). Checked mortality at 6 pm (about 6 hours post-HS): 3 dead in 104A, 2 dead in 104B, 4 dead in 101B, 5 dead in 102B, and 4 dead in 103B.
2 geoduck mortalities: 1 in 101A7 and 1 in 102A7. Photo sent to CSF and shells preserved in 95% EtOH.

Mortality from HS 1/19/12: 1 was dead from the 44°C treatment (100 % mortality). This is the new LHT.
Had to reset the relay in 104A.
Calibrated temperature for the Durafet probes.
All tanks were cleaned.
Algae counts: Collected 1 mL of water from the corner of each container #1 that is the farthest from the dripper during feeding (around 9:50 pm). Shook the tube and put 10 µL on a hemocytometer. The solution was too dilute to effectively count cells.
Fed all animals in sea tables.
Multispecies OA
replaced the durafet probe in tank 101A because it wasn't working. Also had to reset the relay because it wasn't communicating well with the heater. Calibrated the probe using spec pH.
Both tanks were cleaned.
Geoduck mortalities: 101A4 and 102A8 (1 in each).
Bioinformatics
The previous quality trimming that was done resulted in 0 sequences after trimming, meaning that none of the sequences were good enough to pass the filters. To test the quality of the sequences, I am going to map all the reads (untrimmed) back to reference sequences from GenBank.
Downloaded all pinto abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana) nucleotide sequences from GenBank (43 sequences in all, these are the same as the ESTs in NCBI). Uploaded the FASTA file to CLC and from the high throughput sequencing tools, mapped the reads of each library back to the reference (the 43 sequences). Default parameters used and results saved to Pinto Ab file.
From DAVID results on 1/19/12, entered the GO Terms and p-values into revigo to get visualization. Exported the resulting table that goes with the figure and saved as REVIGO 012612.

Did TA for source water and from container 5 from all treatments. Took 600 mL sample from container 6, poisoned with 75µL HgCl2 and stored for later analysis. Also did spec pH of all source water and containers 5 and 6. Feeding occurred at 9:30 so I did not take any samples from containers between 9:30 and 11:00 (feeding ended at 10 and it takes about an hour for the water to turnover in the containers), although I continued to sample and analyze the source water. Matt cleaned all the containers in coolers 103A, 103B, 104A, and 104B and I cleaned all the 101s and 102s.
All animals in the sea table were fed.

Today was Carolyn's sampling day. She and Dave were not able to finish sampling before they had to catch the ferry so I sampled C. gigas from containers 101A7 and 8 and 102A2-8: length, width, total weight, buoyant weight, shell weight, gill, mantle, and rest of body (the last three were flash frozen in liquid N2 and stored at -80°C). Also, I took 1 geoduck from each container, took a picture of all 8 in each treatment, and then put 8 into a tube (1 tube for each treatment) and flash froze for transcriptomics.

Sampled gill tissue from 96 oysters that were heat shocked last Friday (1/13/12) at either 43°C for one hour (LHT) or 38°C for 1 hour (SLT) followed immediately by LHT. Each oyster was shucked and the anterior portion of all lamellae was sampled and flash frozen in liquid N2. The samples were stored at -80°C. Oysters were measured to match them to the measurements taken pre-HS last Friday and shell weight was recorded.
Spec pH was taken of all source water and from containers 3 and 4 in each treatment. In the table, spec pH is corrected for temperature (13°C) using a TA of 2076 µmol/kg.

The dripper in 104B3 was not working (probably clogged from algae). I replaced it with a new dripper, which worked fine.
Mortality from HS 1/19/12: 5 oysters were dead from the 45°C treatment and 2 were dead from the 44°C treatment. Heat shocked oysters, along with all other animals in the sea tables, were fed.
Multispecies OA
2 geoduck were dead in 101A8 (1 appeared to be dead from a crushed shell) and 1 was dead in 102A8. Geoduck were photographed and the shells were stored in 95% EtOH. In 101A6, 1 manila clam was discovered to be an empty shell so the sample size is only 9 for this container. The clam's measurements are 13x17 mm. One of the Olympia oysters from 102A1 fell into the 102A2 container. The oysters in 102A2 all need to be measured and the correct oyster returned to 102A1.
As described for secondary stress, spec pH was taken of the source water and containers 3 and 4. All containers were clean and animals examined for mortality.

Tank 102A was still at a high pH (7.78) this morning. I set the control to manual and opened the CO2 flow valve to let more CO2 into the water (I think that it wasn't open enough to allow for that much lowering of the pH given that the incoming water is about 8.14). Once the pH got down to about 7.70 I turned it back to auto. At pH of 7.65 I lowered the CO2 flow meter back down and set accutune.
Took spec pH of source water from both coolers (see table below).
Set up feeding system. Used Matt's spreadsheet to calculate how much Shellfish Diet 1800 to dilute in 15,000 mL of seawater (19 mL). The animals will be fed twice a day with the pumps on for 30 minutes each time. The leftmost bucket sources the food for tanks 101A and 102A; the middle bucket is for 101B, 102B, and 103A; and the rightmost bucket is for 103B, 104A and 104B. Cycle time is set for 12 hours and % on is 6%.
2 geoduck were dead in container 101A4 (one of them seemed to have a crushed shell). One geoduck was dead in 102A4 and it's shell was so brittle that it crushed when I touched it. The geoduck shells were preserved in 95% EtOH and a photograph of them was sent to CSF.
Secondary stress
Tank 104B had crashed to a pH of <7 so I emptied most of the water out to refill. The pH should be about 7.67. I also noticed that when the controller is on auto, there's some sort of offset and its setpoint pH is actually about 0.2 units below what is entered. I raised the setpoint to about 7.8 and I'll ask Matt about this when he is back next week.
Took spec pH of source water from all coolers. Spec pH is corrected for temperature (13°C) and based on a TA of 2076 µmol/kg. Durafet probes were calibrated for temperature as needed. See above for feeding information.

Re-establishing LHT: heat shock of 8 oysters per temperature at 42 (purple bag), 43 (white zip tie), 44 (pink zip tie), and 45°C (purple zip tie). The oysters are given a 10 minute warm-up and then HS'd for 1 hour. It seems that there was a problem with thermometer accuracy last time and that the thermometer used for the LHT read 43°C when the temp was really only 40.6°C. The Fluke digital thermometer will be used for all future HS. The oysters that were supposed to be HS'd tomorrow (7 days post SLT) will instead be HS'd next week after the LHT has been determined with the Fluke.
Bioinformatics
Removed spaces from the first column of the RNA-Seq file exported from Galaxy so that the contig indicators match the blastall file (e.g. "Consensusfromcontig1"). Saved file as tab delimited and uploaded into Galaxy. Got rid of header information in blastall file and separated columns by "|". Made sure there were no gaps in the data in this file or in the blastall file. Contig number is now in the first column for both datasets.
Under "Join, Subtract, and Group" chose "Join 2 datasets". For job 12, did not keep lines that didn't match and did not fill empty columns. For job 13, kept unmatching and incomplete lines and filled empty columns. Continued analysis with job 13.
Joined resulting table from job 13 with uniprot swissprot IDs (22nd column of the former and 1st column of the latter). This is job 14. Joined this resulting table with swissprot associations based on swissprot ID (column 22 with column 2): job 15.
Joined job 15 table with GO to GOslim table based on GO ID (column 42 with column 1): job 16. Exported this table to Excel. Removed redundant and unnecessary columns and saved file as "Galaxy Job 16 joined tables 011912". Sorted file based on e-value and removed all e-values less than 1e-5. Filtered the file again based on Fold change and deleted all rows with fold change between -2 and 2 (i.e. fold change less than or equal to 2). Saved this file as Galaxy Job 16 joined tabled 011912 fold change. Deleted all information except for column of SPIDs and saved as SPIDs for DAVID 011912. Uploaded to DAVID as gene list.
Edited the original SwissProt ID table uploaded into Galaxy by doing advanced filter in Excel and copying just the unique values into new columns to make a file of unique SPIDs (file is saved with this name). This file contains just one column of SPIDs. Uploaded as the background file into the DAVID Gene Functional Classification Tool indicating that it was Uniprot Accession numbers.
This analysis didn't yield any results (0 clusters, whatever that means) so maybe this isn't the tool that I want. Am going to try Functional Annotation Clustering. Chose Gene Ontology from the list of options.
Watched SR's video on DAVID and I was using the wrong background. Went back to the original exported Galaxy file (job 16) and deleted all columns except for SPID. I then copied unique values only into a new column and saved these as DAVID background 011912. I uploaded this file into DAVID. I then uploaded the SPIDs for DAVID 011912 as my gene list and did functional annotation clustering. Chose Gene Ontology and looked at chart for GOTERM_BP_FAT (see screen shot below). Downloaded the file as DAVID GO table 011912.

Ran total alkalinity for all source water and for container 1 from each treatment (8 coolers). Took alkalinity sample (600 mL) from container 2 and poisoned with 75 µL HgCl2 for later analysis. The alkalinity has dropped about 20 units to approximately 2076 µmol/kg seawater. I recalculated setpoints for the coolers based on this new TA and on the desired pCO2 levels and the pH does not change considerably for any of the treatments (i.e. this 20 unit change in TA results in changes to pH in the thousandth place). Took 2 replicate samples of source water from 101A, 101B, and 102A in beer bottles to send off to test 2 companies that sell titrators.
Did spec pH of all source water and from containers 1 and 2 from all 8 coolers. Spec pH of source water corroborated what the Durafet pH probes read. pH from containers 1 and 2 was not more than 0.05 units different from source water pH.
Since the weather has gotten colder, the water in the treatments has been closer to 12°C than 13°C so I turned the chillers up from 11 to 12°C so that the heaters have less work to do.
The pH in 102A will not go down to 7.67. I tried to set it below the setpoint, but it still hovers around 7.78-7.80 (the probe is properly calibrated). I ran accutune overnight to try and fix the problem.
Fed all animals and cleaned containers. Did mortality checks. 3 geoduck were dead in the higher pCO2 treatment (102A): 1 each from containers 1, 3, and 4. Photographed the geoduck to send to CSF and preserved the shells in 95% EtOH for later SEM analysis.
There were no mortalities of HS'd oysters. Tomorrow I will do another HS with n = 8 oysters per temperature at 42, 43, 44, and 45°C.

The probe for 102A was calibrated since the actual pH was 0.1 unit higher than the perceived pH.
Animals were fed. No mortalities from HS.
Matt showed me the set up for the automated feeding and I think I will work on that Thursday. The algae delivered to the containers ends up being at 5% concentration of the algae in the source buckets. The buckets are marked with a fill line at 20,000 mL for calculating how much algae to add to a bucket of seawater.
Multispecies OA
Took spec pH of both coolers (see above table).
Animals were fed.

Ran total alkalinity samples that were taken on 1/7/12 and 1/10/12. Also ran 3 of the Mukilteo samples that Carolyn brought up. Did spec pH on the source water for all 8 coolers. NB: salinity was not taken at the exact time of spec pH, but was taken about 1 hour later. Spec pH has been corrected for temperature based on a TA of 2095 µmol/kg.

Fed oysters and cleaned containers after feeding.
There was no mortality in the HS'd oysters.
Cleaned spec pH cuvettes overnight.
Multispecies OA
Throughout the day adjusted the pH in cooler 102A to about 7.67 (pCO2 of 1000 ppm).
Fed bivalves and cleaned containers. Checked all animals for mortality. 4 geoduck were dead, 1 in each of containers 101A1, 101A3, 102A3, and 102A6. Photographed the dead animals with a scale for size.
NB: When cleaning these containers make sure that none of the geoduck have fallen out of their bag to the bottom of the container.

Secondary stress
Fixed samples were moved from Davidson's fixative into jars of 70% EtOH.
There was no mortality from HS.
The oysters for the 1 month OA exposure were measured, weighed individually for buoyant weight, and weighed for total mass of all the animals in a container together. 6 oysters were put in each container at pCO2 of 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, or 1400.
Multispecies OA
Animals were measured before being put into one of 8 containers in each of 2 coolers. The coolers are both currently set at a pH of >8.0 (pCO2 ~400 ppm).
Pacific oysters - 25 animals were measured lengthwise and weighed individually for buoyant weight to get an average. There are 10 C. gigas in each container and these 10 animals were massed for buoyant weight together before being placed in pillow bags in the container.
Geoduck - There are 20 geoduck in soft mesh bags in each of the containers. Before being placed in the containers the geoduck (in groups of 10) were photographed for measurements and weighed for total weight.
Olympia oysters - There are 3-4 Olys per container. Before being placed loose in the containers Olys were measured (length and width) and buoyant weight was taken. Epibionts were scraped off. Of the three containers that have only 3 Olys, 2 of them have Olys with smaller Olys settled on them and 1 has a particularly large oyster.

Today was the end of the 1 week OA exposure experiment and the big sampling/heat shock day. I started at 7 am and finished at 11:30 pm. 4 different heat shock (HS) regimes were performed on the oysters and for each one 1 oyster from each container per treatment (n = 8 per treatment) were used. HS1 was 38°C for 1 hour and in one week (1/20) these oysters will be HS'd at 43°C for 1 hour and then monitored for mortality. HS2 was 38°C for 1 hour followed immediately by shucking and sampling of gill tissue for NGS. HS3 was 43°C for 1 hour and monitoring throughout the week for mortality. HS4 was 38°C for 1 hour followed immediately by 43°C for 1 hour and monitoring for mortality. After HS, all oysters were put in labeled mesh bags in a sea table where they will remain throughout monitoring.
Sampling was done on all other oysters. Oysters were measured (length and width) and weighed before sampling. Oysters were shucked and separate gill tissue samples were taken for gene and protein expression and immediately flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. A section was taken for histology that included the DG and gill as well as a separate section of part of the adductor muscle. These sections were fixed for 24 hours in invertebrate Davidson's fixative.

Did full TA and spec pH for all experimental coolers. Ran titrations for all source water and samples from all containers number 3. Took and poisoned samples for all containers number 4. Did spec pH on samples from all source water and all containers 3 and 4. Spec pH was calculated based on the TA that was found for the source water in each cooler. The TA for 104B is a little off becuase it was run with a salinity of 29.7 rather than 30.2. Spec pH has been corrected for temperature.

Carolyn brought up mussels, geoduck, olympia oysters, and pacific oysters for a multispecies OA experiment. The Pacifics are small, about the size of a thumbnail. The Olys are larger, about 1 inch long. The mussels look like they are just post-larval and the geoduck are also small seed, but larger than the mussels. Manila clams are arriving tomorrow. All animals were put in sea tables. All animals were fed shellfish diet 1800.

Fed all the oysters and cleaned the containers for the experimental oysters.
Bioinformatics
Started a new de novo assembly (Emma de novo 2) on pinto ab OA data. The parameters for the new de novo are all default, except the mismatch costs were changed to 3 and the min contig length was decreased to 150.
Began RNA-Seq analysis to find differentially expressed genes between data sets. The consensus sequences from the de novo assembly were used as a reference backbone (8911 sequences). The analysis was done on a reference without annotations and with default assembly settings, except the unmapped sequences box was unchecked. RNA-Seq was done for both data sets.
Detailed instructions:
- Open file of consensus sequences in CLC so you can view it and select all sequences by clicking on the first one, scrollingn down, hold shift and click on last one
- Click "open consensus" at the bottom of the window
- Resave the file into a folder in your CLC directory - this file will be your reference for RNA-Seq
- Right click on your raw data file and select toolbox -> CLCserver -> RNAseq analysis
- Use default options on the RNA-Seq with the following changes: 1) reference without annotations, 2) uncheck unmapped sequences
- Repeat RNA-seq with your second sequence file
- To do a comparison of your RNA-seq for your datasets, go to high throughput sequencing in your toolbox and select "Run an experiment". Keep your default settings
Quality trimmed raw data, discarding lengths below 20 and saving the trimmed sequences in the trimmed sequence folder.
Annotated the consensus sequences using the wetgenes INQuiry portal. Used the blastall tool with the following parameters: blastx against swissprot database, short description and number of alignments changed from 500 and 250 (respectively) to 1, tabular output.

Emptied some of the water from tank 101B to try to get pH up.
In the evening did mortality checks and fed all the oysters. Cleaned all the containers in the acclimation coolers. The process is slightly different from the experimental coolers: all oysters are removed and put in a common bucket while the containers are cleaned. After all containers are clean, oysters are re-assorted into containers randomly.

Secondary stress
For the most part, the pH seems to be stable at about the right value for all of the coolers except for 101B. Continue to empty water from this cooler and refill with new (high pH) water to counterbalance the low pH of about 7.
Did chemistry for all the coolers. Took spec pH and TA samples from the source water and from containers 1 and 2 (see diagram below for container numbers). The pH in the containers was not more than 0.05 pH units less than the source water pH. Used the spec pH values to calibrate the Durafet probes and also calibrated probes for temperature using the Fluke probe (see table). All probes were pretty accurate, except for 103A, which is the control treatment. The probe read a pH of about 8, but it was actually around 7. I verified this with a second spec pH. I calibrated the probe, drained the water and it quickly righted itself but the oysters were exposed to low pH water for about 36 hours. All the treatments equilibrated to the new pH much better after the probes had been calibrated. I also ran TA titrations for the source water and for one of the containers for all the treatments. In general, the source water TA was around 2095 µmol/kg seawater and the container TA was about 10-20 units lower. TA samples were taken for all container 2s by rinsing out sample jars with 60 mL of seawater, filling them with 300 mL of seawater from the container and poisoning with 75 µL HgCl2. I ran CRMs at the beginning, middle, and end of the titrations. I also got TA values for Liza's 4 samples from her pinto abalone experiment done 9/29/11.
I also calibrated the Durafet monitoring the incoming water using 2 spec pH samples. The probe read pH 8.1 and, assuming a salinity of 29.7 and temperature of 10°C, the actual pH is about 8.1.
In the evening, I fed all the oysters (experimental and acclimation) by diluting 19 mL of shellfish diet in 941 mL of ambient seawater and pipetting 9 mL of this mixture into each of the containers (flow turned off). I let the oysters sit for about an hour so that they could feed. After an hour, I turned the flow back on and cleaned all the experimental containers. It takes about 15 minutes to clean all 8 containers in each treatment and I do 2 at a time, so the oysters are only out of water for about 2 minutes. I put all the oysters back in the container that I had taken them from.

Set the pH set points at 7 am. Some of the oysters got switched to different tanks if I was having trouble with the controlers. The tanks and their set points are in the table below. Changed the PID tune parameters to the numbers from cooler 103B since it has been the most consistent in keeping the correct pH: Prop bank 0.911, Rate 1.446, Reset 0.173. When pH gets too low (>0.2 units below the set point), I drain most of the water from the tank and refill it with fresh water. Accutune is run once the pH has reached a level close to the set point.

Filled up 6 other coolers to begin system acclimation of the other oysters that have been held in the sea tables. Set the temperature at 13°C and the pH at 8.
Continued to monitor and adjust coolers throughout the day to get the pH to stabilize at the correct value. Having trouble with coolers 104A and B and 101B and a little bit with 103A. 101B is especially troublesome because I'm having trouble getting it to stay above a pH of 7, let alone get to 7.53.
In the evening, fed the oysters in each of the experimental tanks and the oysters in the sea tables. After feeding, moved oysters from see tables into containers in acclimation coolers (6 coolers, 8 3-L containers per cooler). There are 8 oysters per container. pH remains steady at about 8 in all. There were no mortalities.

Secondary stress and Total Alkalinity
Cleaned out tanks 103A and 103B as described 1/1/12.
Calibrated Durafet pH probe in tank 101A using spec pH.
Ran total alkalinity for 2 more beer bottle samples. Began by running replicate junk samples until the TA values were within 2 units of each other (this took 3 samples). Ran a CRM (batch 113 bottle 0780) but the first run did not yield a TA close enough to the value: the experimental value was 2219.14 and it needs to be 2224.65. Ran another CRM, which was also not the right number. Ran 4 junk samples to check precision of titrator and got the same number for each sample. Ran a CRM which gave a TA of 2220.5. Decided to run allt he beer bottle samples for 1/5/12 - the data can be found in the spreadsheet chemistry 010512.
Calculated set points for each of the tanks based on a presumed TA of 2100 µmol/kg and a temperature of 13°C.

Moose turned on the vaccuum pump this morning to remove the CO2 from the incoming water. I turned on the air going into the tanks. Later in the evening (around 6 pm), I turned on the CO2 going into the tanks and put the set points at pH 8. I monitored the pH until 11 pm and all tanks seemed pretty stable.
Fed the oysters as previously described and cleaned the containers. There was one dead oyster in 101B and I replaced it with an oyster from the sea table.

Calibrated the acid for the total alkalinity titrator by running 3 CRMs within 1 unit of each other (they were all less than 1 unit different) and using those numbers to back calculate the acid concentration since the CRM TA is known.
Did a dye correction for the spec pH using 2 samples from 2 difference coolers and then 2 other samples to which either NaOH or HCl was added. The slope for this dye batch (1/2/12) is -0.02313 an the intercept is 0.009991.
Measured pH from the source water and 1 container each from 101A and 104B (see table below). pH values are corrected for dye addition, but not for temperature at which they were taken. Since there seems to be a difference between source and container water, took spec pH of 102B source water and 5 containers (table below). Also did TA titrations of 102B source water and 2 containers.

Note that for 104B, there may have been a bubble in the path of the spec which may have skewed the results. In general, the difference between container and source water pH is about 0.06 pH units. The TA is about 40 units different, or about 2%. Tomorrow morning I will repeat this experiment since all the containers were cleaned tonight.
Fed all the oysters as described 1/2/12. Cleaned all the tanks as described 1/1/12.

Secondary stress
Cooler 101 B was below its set point and the heater was never going on and 101A was above its set point and the heater wasn't going off (only a couple of degrees in each direction). The autotune function was not on for either heater so I turned it on.
Checked ammonia levels in one container from 101B, 101A, and 102A and from one of the sea tables. Ammonia was very low in all. Also took pH from the source water and one container from 102B and 104A and from the sea table (see table below). I have not done the dye correction for the new m-cresol purple yet, so the pH have not been properly adjusted. Additionally, the cuvettes were probably not very clean because many small bubbles formed inside and could not be dislodged so the pH values are probably not completely accurate. M-cresol purple was made by dissolving 0.016 g of MCP in 20 mL of milliQ water (2 mmol/L) and adding dilute NaOH until the pH = 7.9. pH values are calculated in CO2sys assuming 2100 µmol/kg TA and adjusted temperature of 13°C except for the sea table where the temperature is assumed to be 10°C. Salinity was measured in the source water in each container and used to correct pH.

Due to the possible inaccuracies in these pH measurements (dirty cuvettes and incorrect dye correction values), these values are not completely reliable. I cleaned the cuvettes with cuvette detergent (2 drops in a cuvette filled with DI water, shaken well, left to sit over night) and will take the pH again tomorrow.
Fed the oysters in the containers and sea tables by turning off flow and giving them ~120,000 cells per mL of shellfish diet. Put 19 mL of shellfish diet in 941 mL of seawater and gave 9 mL to the container oysters and 255 mL to the sea table oysters (estimated sea table dimensions used to calculate volume: 3' x 2' x 0.5').
January 1, 2012
Secondary stress
Oysters were fed as described 12/31/11 except they were fed ~120,000 cells per mL
Emptied all coolers and cleaned out by removing debris, wiping down with Vortex, rinsing and wiping down with freshwater and then salt water. Coolers were then refilled with salt water. Only 6 oysters were replaced in each of the containers (which had been cleaned by rinsing with fresh and then salt water) and only 6 coolers were used (8 reps of 6 per cooler). These will be the oysters used in the 1 week OA exposure. The remaining oysters were divided between 2 sea tables.
December 31, 2011
Secondary stress
Fed oysters in their containers about 60,000 cells of algae (Shellfish Diet 1800) per mL by diluting the SD in seawater and turning on flow in containers for ~30 minutes. Checked ammonia levels of a few containers and all were low.
December 30, 2011
Secondary stress
Brought oysters up to Friday Harbor. Changed filters with Michelle (put in new bag filters and clean 0.2 µm filters). Turned on water to coolers and let run through to rinse out lines for > 1 hour. Put ~110 oysters in each of 6 coolers and set temperature to 13°C. Moose later told me that having them in the coolers would contaminate the water for the remainder of the experiment, so put oysters in microcosm containers (3.5 L). 10 oysters were placed in each containers and 8 containers were put in each of 8 coolers. Green drippers (57.5 mL/ min) were used for flow of water into containers.
December 29, 2011
Secondary Stress
2 am: collected ~650 oysters (same group as used for most recent heat stress experiment) in Oyster Bay at low tide. Put oysters in mesh bags in a cooler, covered with towels and put a few ice packs on top of the towels. The oysters remained in the cooler (ice packs were replaced when thawed) until the afternoon of 12/30.

Secondary stress: heat shock wrap-up
Sam and Lisa attended to the heat shocked oysters while I was gone this past week.
Dec 21: none dead
Dec 22: all dead in light blue (43°C heat shock), 1 dead in purple (42°C)
Dec 23: none dead
Dec 24: 2 dead in purple, high ammonia and low pH so Lisa did a 50% water change
Dec 25: none dead, high ammonia 50% water change
Dec 26: none dead
Dec 27: end experiment
100% mortality from 43°C heat shock by 72 hours post-shock. 30% mortality from 42°C heat shock by 96 hours post-shock.
December 20, 2011
Secondary stress
Checked the oysters around 11 am and 1 was dead in the 43°C heat shocked group (light blue zip tie). Decreased water level and fed oysters 2 mL of shellfish diet diluted in 300 mL of seawater. After 1 hour, the water was not clear (oysters were not eating much).
December 19, 2011
Secondary stress
Began heat shock of oysters to find LHT at 12:15 pm. 10 oysters were used for each temperature. Beakers were filled to 800 mL with seawater and placed in the water bath and allowed to equilibrate to temperature. Prior to 1 hour long heat shock, oysters were preheated for 10 minutes in a separate beaker. The preheating is done to make sure that the internal temperature of the oysters actually reaches the temperature of the water and to avoid the initial decrease in T that occurs when the oysters are put in the beakers.

Some of the oysters from the 41°C heat shock were gaping after 1 hour, but none were dead.
Checked the ammonia of the tank around 4 pm. Was at about 0.25 ppm. Added more denitrifying bacteria and did partial water change.
OA FHL 2011
qPCR same as EF1a of FHL OA samples on 12/15/11 but using v-type H+ transporter primers with an annealing T of 60°C.
Results: All cDNA samples amplified but had double melt peak. There was no amplification in gDNA or NTCs. There was no difference in normalized expression among treatments.
December 18, 2011
Secondary stress
Fed the oysters at 3:30 pm by diluting 2 mL of shellfish diet in about 300 mL of seawater, reducing the water level in the tank, and letting the oysters feed for 1 hour.
The ammonia was between 0.25-0.5 ppm so did a partial water change.
December 17, 2011
Secondary stress
Fed the oysters around 9 am but only put 2 mL of shellfish diet in the water. They cleared all algae after about 1 hour. Temperature was about 13.6°C and ammonia was 0.5 ppm. Did a complete water change including rinsing out sediment/pseudofeces at the bottom of the tank. Added more denitrifying bacteria after the water change.
OA FHL 2011
qPCR using v-type H+ transporter primers, exact same PCR as yesterday except used 60°C annealing T.
Results: gDNA did not amplify (neither did NTCs) and cDNA did. However, there is still a double melt peak for the cDNA.
qPCR using v-type H+ transporter primers, only cDNA and NTCs. Annealing Ts of 61 and 62°C.
Results: Similar to annealing of 60°C - cDNA amplified but there was a double melt peak. Amplification was significantly decreased at 62°C indicating the efficiency of the reaction is decreasing at that T (which can also be seen on the gradient gel using the same primers, the PCR product at 62.7°C is much more faint than that at 61.1°C).
December 16, 2011
Secondary stress
Picked up 77 oysters from Oyster Bay in Shelton (Taylor Shellfish) that were harvested on the midnight tide. Brought them to the basement and put them in the tank around 10 am and set the temperature at 55°F (~13°C). The ammonia was at 0.1 ppm in the tank, so added ~1 cup more of denitrifying bacteria.
Details on oysters:
spawn #6 from 2011, Quilcene Hatchery, raised in flub AF
Planted on tide flats of Oyster Bay 8/31/2011
Parents were from Molluscan Broodstock Program group "G", a combination of 3 families: 20.010, 20.019, and 20.037
At 2 pm checked on the oysters. The temperature was about 13.6°C in the tank. Some of the oysters were obviously filtering water. The ammonia was at about 0.5 ppm. Did a partial water change.
At 5 pm lowered the water in the tank and fed the oysters by diluting 4 mL of Shellfish Diet 1800 in seawater. This seemed like a lot of algae and after 30 minutes the oysters had not noticeably cleared the water. The ammonia was only about 0.1 ppm. Put the water back in the tank. Temp was about 13.6°C.
OA FHL 2011
qPCR of all cDNA samples in duplicate using glutamine synthetase primers, including gDNA and NTCs.
Results: All samples amplified except for 105A2 and 103B3. There was no amplification in the gDNA controls or NTCs. ANOVA of the normalized gene expression shows no significant difference between treatments.
qPCR of all cDNA samples in duplicate using aspartate aminotransferase primers, including gDNA and NTCs. The plate had the exact same layout at the glutamine synthetase. Annealing T for aspartate aminotransferase was 63.5°C.
Results: cDNA amplified except for 1 of the replicates each for both 105A2 and 103B3. The replicates that did amplify for those samples came up at >39 Cq. Analysis based on PCR miner, which did not detect amplification in either of those samples, finds no difference between treatments.
qPCR of cDNA, gDNA and NTCs using v-type H+ transport primers with annealing T of 56°C.
Results: cDNA replicates amplified well and in concordance with each other. The melt peak has 2 peaks, though. The 3 gDNA samples amplified (no amp in NTCs) with funky melt peaks.

OA FHL 2011: primers
Gradient PCR using new primers: v-type H+ transporter. Master mix is made of 12.5ul Apex, 10.5 ul water, 0.5 ul of each 10 uM primer, and 1 ul template (cDNA or gDNA). cDNA is in the first row of the plate (with a NTC in well 2) and gDNA is in the second row. The PCR protocol is 95C for 10 min, 40 cycles of 95C 15s, annealing T 15s, and 72C 30s, followed by 95C 10s and 72C 10 min. The annealing T range from 50-65C: 50, 50.4, 51.3, 52.5, 54.2, 56.4, 59, 61.1, 62.7, 63.8, 64.7, 65.
Results: cDNA amplified well through annealing T of 59°C. gDNA shows non-specific binding through an annealing T of 54°C (with primer dimer still apparent at 56°C). qPCR at annealing T greater than or equal to 55°C should work well for cDNA-specific binding.
OA FHL 2011
qPCR using EF1a primers of FHL OA samples in duplicate , 3 ul of template per reaction. 2 gDNA controls and 3 NTCs on the plate.
Results: All cDNA samples amplified and replicates came up at the same Cq. All amplified products had the same melt peak. There was no amplification in any of the NTCs nor in the gDNA controls.
qPCR using glutamine synthetase and aspartate aminotransferase primers at previously determined annealing Ts of 67.5 and 63.5C, respectively. Included gDNA and NTCs on the plate.
Results: The dropbox on the computer malfunctioned and I am not able to export the data or report, but both primer pairs amplified a single product with replicates in good agreement for cDNA. There was no amplification in gDNA or NTCs.

Sammi helped me set up a large tank with filters and water chiller for the oysters. We set the temperature at 59°F. Added ~2 cups denitrifying bacteria (Proline).

OA FHL 2011: primers
SR aligned mRNA for v-type H+ transporters (see 12.9.11) with genomic sequence from BGI for C. gigas to determine intron/exon boundaries. See his
lab notebook for details. I designed primers to span the intron/exon boundaries at base pairs 1419 (1410-1429) and 1592 (1585-1604). The reverse primer was designed off of the reverse complement of the sequence. The primers are both 45% GC with Tm of 49.73°C. The SRIDs are 1436 and 1437.
OA FHL 2011: reverse transcription
Reverse transcribed remaining RNA from July 29, 2011
C. gigas larvae. Since we're not sure what the true concentration of RNA (vs. gDNA) in the samples is, it seemed the safest to reverse transcribe all of it to get as much cDNA as possible. For each volume of RNA, scaled up the amount of MMLV reagents used based on a total volume of 17.75 µL RNA for 1 reaction. The master mix in the table refers to 5x MMLV RT buffer (5µL per reaction), 10 µM dNTPs (1.25 µL), and 0.5 µL reverse transcriptase.

Added Oligo dT primer to RNA and incubated at 70°C for 5 minutes. Put on ice for ~2 minutes. Aliquoted master mix to each sample. Incubated at 42°C for 1 hour followed by 3 minutes at 95°C. The sample 105A2 will yield the least amount of RNA - about 31 µL. This will be enough for 15 qPCR reactions if 2 µL of undiluted cDNA can be used, or enough for 7 genes run in duplicate.
qPCR of samples with greatest volume of cDNA: 105A1, 103A4, and 104B3. qPCR used 2 µL of undiluted cDNA with NOAA OA 2000A cDNA as a positive control and 3 NTCs. Primers were EF1a at annealing T of 66°C.
Results: The positive control and all 3 samples amplified and had very similar melt peaks. The FHL OA cDNA samples all amplified by ~cycle 35, but more template may be needed to a) increase the efficiency of the reaction and b) make sure that expression of other genes is detected.

OA FHL 2011: primers
Primer design for another OA-response gene. Mined results from Todgham & Hofmann 2009 and Stumpp et al. 2011 as well as larval clam response to OA to find candidate genes. All three showed that H+ transporters are differentially regulated upon OA exposure. Searched Sigenae BioMart using GO term 0006818 (proton transport) and got 84 contigs in return. A number of them correspond to v-type proton ATPase, which is also a transporter that Portner indicated would be important in invertebrate response to OA.

Did exact same EF1a qPCR as 12.7.11 but used new primer stocks ordered to replace the possibly contaminated ones.
Results: All cDNAs at all 3 annealing Ts amplified with replicates at each T being identical. Only one gDNA (at 65°C) amplified, but it was probably not the gDNA itself. About half of the NTCs showed a low level of contamination. After a conference with Steven and Sam, we're not really sure what is going on. The cDNA amplifies very well despite whatever is going on in the NTCs. It's unlikely that the NTCs are contamination since the amplification is not consistent. (Amplification plot is log scale.)
qPCR using EF1a primers and just NTCs (x3).
Results: A small amount of amplification occurred in each NTC.
December 7, 2011
OA FHL 2011: primers
qPCR of cDNA, gDNA and 3 NTCs with EF1a primers at annealing Ts of 67.5, 66, and 65°C.
Results: cDNA amplified at all annealing temperatures. All annealing temperatures demonstrated identical melt peaks that seem to be a high quality product (results from 12/6/11 were probably just a bad reaction for some reason).
67.5°C - all NTCs were clean and no amplification occurred in the gDNA samples.
66°C - 2 NTCs were clean and 1 gDNA sample amplified
65°C - 1 NTC was clean and 1 gDNA sample amplified
The unlabeled amplification curves and melt peaks correspond to the gDNA and NTC samples that amplified.
qPCR of cDNA, gDNA (x3) and 3 NTCs with aspartate aminotransferase primers (AY660003) with annealing T of 63.5°C.
Results: Only the cDNA amplified - there was no amplification at all in the gDNA or NTCs. The product showed a single melt peak.
December 6, 2011
OA FHL 2011: primers
Gradient PCR with same conditions as 11/18 except used just 1 µL of template. After PCR, products were run on 1.5% agarose gel + EtBr with Hyperladder II (Bioline).
Results: Annealing temperatures are in blue at the top of the wells. The primers amplified a product of about 100 bp in the cDNA and amplification was strong through annealing temperature of 67.7°C. There was a lot of non-specific binding in the gDNA, but the amplification got considerably weaker after 57.5°C and was almost non-existent by 66.1°C. Next step will be to do a qPCR testing cDNA and gDNA at an annealing temperature of 67.5°C.
qPCR of cDNA, 3 gDNA replicates and 3 NTCs using EF1a primers with an annealing T of 67.5°C.
Results: the cDNA amplified, but the melt peak was weird. There was no amplification in the gDNA or NTCs. Will try qPCR again at the same annealing T as well as annealings of 66 and 65°C.
December 5, 2011
OA FHL 2011: primers
qPCR to check validity of using EF1a primers in selectively amplifying cDNA. One sample of cDNA as positive control and 3 samples each of gDNA and NTC.
Thermalcylcer protocol is 2stempamp+melt EvaGreen (55°C annealing T).
Results: cDNA amplified well. 1 NTC was clean but the other 2 had amplification (same melt peak as the cDNA). gDNA amplified a little bit, but had a very different melt peak than cDNA. Next step is to do a gradient to see if amplification of gDNA can be gotten rid of (since it is probably non-specific binding). Will also bleach down lab bench and make new primer stocks before next qPCR to try to get rid of contamination.
Limit of detection
qPCR of samples reverse transcribed 12/1/11 using EF1a primers (SRID 1410 and 1412). Thermalcylcer protocol is 2stempamp+melt EvaGreen (55°C annealing T).
Results: One NTC had some contamination, but it amplified much later than the samples. All samples amplified between Cqs of 26-34.
December 1, 2011
OA FHL 2011
Ran gradient PCR using new aspartate aminotransferase primers (SRID 1422 and 1423). The Gradient ran from 50-65°C using the Opticon. Mastermix was made of 12.5 µL Apex, 9.5 µL water, and 0.5 µL each of 10 µM primers with 2 µL cDNA (Gill C9) or gDNA (Gill 0627) template. Thermocycler profile was 95°C 10 min; 40 cycles of 95° 15s, annealing T 15s, 72° 30s; 95° 10s 72° 10 min.
Results: It looks like 63.8°C may be a good annealing temperature to selectively amplify the cDNA and not the gDNA amplicon.
qPCR using AY660003 primers of gDNA (Gill 0627) and 2 larval cDNA (NOAA OA Sept 2010 380A and 2000A). Annealing temperature of 63.5°C.
Results: Win! At an annealing T of 63.5°C the primers do not amplify gDNA but do amplify the larval cDNA. Good job, Steven!
Reverse transcription - limit of detection
Reverse transcribed DNased larval cDNA from NOAA OA Sept 2010, samples 280C and 2000A. For each sample, did RT of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.3 µg (See below for volumes). For each volume x of RNA, added 17.75-x µL of water and 0.5 µL Oligo dTs. Incubated at 70°C for 5 minutes. Put on ice for a few minutes then added 5 µL MMLV 5x buffer, 1.25 µL 10 mM dNTPs and 0.5 µL reverse transcriptase. Incubated at 42°C for 1 hour followed by 3 minutes of deactivation at 95°C.

OA FHL 2011
Ran gel (1.5% agarose + EtBr) of PCR done 11/23/11. gDNA amplified with a product of about 550 bp and the cDNA amplified a product less than 200 bp. There was no primer dimer and the NTCs were clean.
Future steps: Try increasing the annealing temperature of the primers (originally amplified at 50°C).
qPCR using primers that amplify only cDNA (EF1a) and primers that amplify both cDNA and gDNA (18s). Samples used: Gill C9 (positive control cDNA) and newly reverse transcribed FHL OA 105B4 and 105B6.
Results: Both primer pairs amplified C9, the positive control. 105B6 amplified a small amount for EF1a (pink) and 18s (blue), although there was some contamination in the 18s NTC. 105B4 appears to have not amplified at all.
November 23, 2011
OA FHL 2011
Reverse transcribed Dnased RNA samples 105B4 and 105B6. The cDNA from these samples will be used as test runs for the new primers. To 17.75 µL of RNA, added 0.5 µL Oligo dTs and incubated at 70°C for 5 minutes. Put samples on ice for about 3 minutes then added to each 5 µL of MMLV 5x buffer, 1.25 µL of 10 mM dNTPs, and 0.5 µL of reverse transcriptase. Incubated at 42°C for 1 hour followed by a 95°C inactivation for 3 minutes.
qPCR of new cDNA with EF1a primers and glutamine synthetase primers. Also included Gill C9 as a positive control and 2 NTCs. GS was amplified at 67.7°C annealing T and EF1a at 55.
Results: NTCs were clean and C9 amplified for both primer sets. None of the larval cDNA amplified.
qPCR of NOAA OA 2000 ppm cDNA and Gill C9 with EF1a primers to make sure the primers work with larval cDNA (this cDNA has been successfully amplified with multiple primers in the past).
Results: The EF1a primers successfully amplified both adult and larval cDNA. The NTCs were clean.
Received the primers that SR designed for aspartate aminotransferase (Cg_AY660003_F SRID 1422 and R SRID 1423). Did regular PCR using Apex (12.5µL), water (8.5 µL) and 10 µM primers (0.5 µL each) with an annealing temperature of 50°C. Layout of samples in strip tube for PCR is Gill 0627 gDNA (A), gDNA (B), Gill C9 cDNA (C), cDNA (D), NTC (E and F).
November 21, 2011
OA FHL 2011
qPCR with glutamine synthetase (annealing T of 67.7°C) and Tld (66.1°C) using gDNA and cDNA.
Results: gDNA did not amplify for either primer pair at the indicated annealing temperatures and cDNA did! NTCs were clean for GS, but there is evidence of primer dimer in the Tld. This may not be a problem if the primers bind only to the PCR product when it is present. However, there is primer dimer below the cDNA PCR product for Tld (11/18/11) at this annealing T so it may be worth it to decrease the primer concentration in the reaction.
qPCR with glutamine synthetase primers at new annealing temperature with cDNA (used originally for preliminary data of SOD, GPx, Prx6 for FHL OA) diluted 1:5 in nanopure water, in duplicate.
Results: Nothing amplified :( But at least the NTCs were clean!
qPCR with glutamine synthetase primers with undiluted cDNA from FHL OA and positive control cDNA from Gill C9.
Results: Gill C9 amplified with a single melt peak. The FHL OA cDNA did not amplify - probably need more template or this gene is not expressed in these samples.
November 18, 2011
OA FHL 2011: primers
Ran a gradient PCR on the Opticon from 55-70°C for primers that showed evidence of non-specific binding in gDNA and amplified cDNA well. If the annealing temperature can be optimized so that the non-specific binding ceases in the gDNA but specific binding continues in the cDNA, then the primers will work. The primers that fit these criteria are: ATP synthase, Prx6, glutamine synthetase, Tld, and citrate synthase. All primers were run in this PCR except for the citrate synthase. No PCR was done for 55.4 or 70°C since they were redundant with other annealing temperatures. Negative controls for each primer pair were PCR'd at 55.4°C.
Results: All gDNA and cDNA amplified at 55°C and 56.3°C. Beginning at 57.5°C, the gDNA non-specific binding for glutamine synthetase (GS) and Tld began to noticeably decrease and stayed decreased, although looked like it never completely disappeared. Annealing continued for gDNA of ATP synthase and Prx6 throughout the gradient. Binding of cDNA failed for ATP and Tld at 67.7°C. The only gene (cDNA) that the primers annealed to at 68.8°C was with the GS primers and there was still a faint amount of gDNA amplified at a much larger amplicon size. Primer dimer was apparent in all 4 NTCs (at the very end of the 3rd row of the gel).
Future steps: It's worth trying qPCR for Tld and GS at higher annealing temperatures, but the primer binding for the other genes is probably not non-specific and the primers will need to be redesigned.

OA FHL 2011: primers
Ran PCR from 11/16/11 and the IMSP-5 PCR reactions from 11/14/11 on a 1.5% agarose gel with EtBr at 100 V for 45 minutes. The gel drifted during the electrophoresis.
Results: IMSP-5 showed a lot of non-specific binding in the gDNA and no amplification in the cDNA. Aspartate aminotransferase amplified two products in the gDNA - one the same size as the cDNA amplicon and one much larger. The MTIV primers didn't amplify anything. The phosphoglucomutase primers amplified the same product size in gDNA and cDNA, implying that there is no intron in the gDNA at this site. All NTCs were clean.
November 16, 2011
OA FHL 2011: primers
Received the new (R2) reverse primers for aspartate aminotransferase (SRID ), MTIV ( ), and phosphoglucomutase ( ) that are the reverse complement of the previous reverse primers. Did PCR as described 11/14/11.
November 14, 2011
OA FHL 2011: primers
Did PCR using primers designed to not amplify gDNA: Tld, glutamine synthetase (GS), hsc70, ATP synthase, Prx6, citrate synthase, and IMSP-5. Each PCR reaction had 12.5 µL Apex master mix, 8.5 µL water, 0.5 µL of each primer, and 3 µL of template (either gDNA Gill 0627, cDNA gill C9, or water for controls). For Tld, GS, and hsc70, the new reverse primers were used. The PCR was run using the QPCR thermalcycler profile in the EMMA directory. 10 µL of the PCR products were run on a 1.5% agarose gel with EtBr alongside 5 µL of Hyperline ladder II. There was not enough room on the gel for the IMSP-5 reactions.
gDNA is marked with a green "g", cDNA with a blue "c" and the negative control lanes are not marked at all.
Results: All negative controls were clean. Tld has a lot of primer dimer. Tld, GS, hsc70, and citrate synthase all show multiple bands (products) amplified in the gDNA. All primers amplified gDNA products that are larger than expected for the cDNA amplicon, suggesting that these genes have introns. hsc70 is the only primer pair that amplified a gDNA product of the same size as the expected cDNA product. All cDNA amplicons are the expected size and only show a single product.

qPCR using new reverse primers for Tld, glutamine synthetase, and hsc70. All of them amplified both gDNA and cDNA :( Melt peaks were different between gDNA and cDNA for all primer sets.
November 10, 2011
Secondary Stress trial
Took samples from all jars for TA and spec pH at 8 am, then did a complete water change of all jars and took 1 sample from the new water for TA and spec pH. Salinity of the water in the jars was 29.5 and in the new water was 29.2 ppt. pH had dropped in all oyster jars. TA didn't drop much in the jars with 4 oysters in them, but did drop in the jars with 8 oysters.
Amy did 2 titrations and spec pH at noon. She did not record the mass of the water sample, so I cannot calculate TA from the titrations.
Histology practice
Carolyn showed me how to fix samples for histological analysis. We carefully shucked 2 oysters ("Emma 1" and "Emma 2") and slid the whole body onto a kim wipe inside a weigh boat. We cut 3 sections for Emma 1 (gill + heart + kidney; gill + DG; adductor) and 2 for Emma 2 (gill + DG; adductor). The sections need to be cut cleanly (1 cut) and thick enough so that they hold their shape. The side that you are interested in looking at should be put face-down in the small plastic box. The sections were put in Invertebrate Davidson's solution and will be left there for 24 hours.
November 9, 2011
Secondary Stress trial
This 2-day trial is designed to determine if smaller oysters alter the chemistry in 4 L jars as much as the previous batch. 4 4-L jars will be filled with water and 2 will have 4 oysters, the other 2 will have 8. At 3 time points throughout today and tomorrow, pH and TA will be measured in each jar. pH is measured using spec pH and TA is measured by doing a manual titration with 0.1 N HCl. For the titration, ~120 g of seawater is weighed into a clean and dry beaker and its mass is recorded. The mass of the bottle + HCl is also recorded, as is the initial pH, voltage (mV) from the pH electrode, and temperature of the sample. The seawater sample is placed on a stir plate and enough acid is added to bring the pH to between 4 and 3.5. Wait a few minutes to let the sample off-gas and the pH probe to equilibrate. Record the mass of the acid, the pH, the voltage, and the temperature. Titrate the sample using the acid, recording acid mass, pH, voltage, and temperature at each titration point until a pH of 3 has been reached.
At 9:00 am weighed out oysters and put them in the jars in a 59 °F water bath in the basement. Also took samples for pH and TA (one pH sample, 2 TA) and measured salinity with the YSI. Samples for a dye correction curve for the spec pH were also taken and their pH was adjusted with NaOH or HCl. The masses of the oysters are:
4Cg-1 46.4 g
4Cg-2 112.6 g
8Cg-1 134.9 g
8Cg-2 182.1 g
The pH of the water at the start of the experiment (corrected for dye addition) is 7.87. The salinity is 29.2 ppt. The 2 measurements of TA are 943 and 902 µmol/kg of seawater.
Amy took samples for the 1 pm and 5 pm time points.
OA FHL 2011: primers
The primers designed on 10/17/11 were designed incorrectly. Both the forward and reverse were designed on the same RNA/DNA strand. For glutamine synthetase (SRID 1417), hsc70 (SRID 1416), and Tld (SRID 1418), I re-ordered primers that are the reverse complement of the ones previously designed.
November 7, 2011
OA FHL 2011: primers
Regular PCR of aspartate aminotransferase and Tld primers to test for primer dimer. PCR reactions are : 12.5µL Apex, 8.5 µL water, 0.5 µL of each primer, and 3 µL of cDNA (Gill VE1). The thermalcycler protocol is QPCR under the EMMA directory.
Made a 1.5% agarose gel. When the PCR was done, loaded 10 µL of PCR product on the gel (5 µL of Hyperline II ladder went in the first well). The gel layout is as follows : 2 wells of asp. aminotrans. + template, 2 negative control asp. aminotrans, the same pattern for Tld. The Tld reactions mostly evaporated in the thermalcycler, but I tried to reconstitute with 10 µL of water and loaded them anyway. Ran at 100 V for about 45 minutes.
Results: None of the Tld samples showed up. The aspartate aminotransferase has primer dimer (underlined in blue) and a faint product of approximately the correct size (circled in orange) showed up in one of the template wells.
qPCR gradient (50-60 °C) using primers MTIV and glutamine synthetase. Used both cDNA and gDNA as template to see if there is an annealing temperature that will amplify only cDNA. Both primers previously amplified both gDNA and cDNA but had very different melt curves for the two amplicons. The thermalcycler protocol used was a modified 2 step amp eva green+melt (modified to include the gradient).
Results: The products that amplified are marked with stars. All NTCs were clean. The MTIV primers amplified gDNA at all temperatures, but cDNA at only 50-52°C. The glutamine synthetase primers amplified cDNA at 50 and 50.7 °C and gDNA at 50-52°C. The melt peaks for both sets of primers were different between cDNA and gDNA.
NB: I found my box of cDNA sitting on the bench next to the fridge. Not sure how it got there or how long it has been sitting there...

OA FHL 2011: primers
The reverse primer for the EF1a qPCR done on 10/27/11 was the reverse complement of what it should have been. Re-ordered the primer in the correct orientation (Cg_EF1a_R2, SRID 1412). Also designed a forward primer for EF1a so that we can empirically determine if there is an intron where we think there is one (Cg_EF1a_F2, SRID 1413).
October 27, 2011
OA FHL 2011: primers
Tested new EF1a primers and further testing of Tld and citrate synthase, which previously seemed to not amplify gDNA.
Results: All products amplified to some degree. The Tld NTC was contaminated and there was no melt curve with the template (it is looking more and more like Tld is only amplifying primer dimer, not a PCR product). The EF1a melt curves were different between cDNA and gDNA. Citrate synthase had different melt curves between the 2 replicates, which could be an indication of different-sized products (i.e. an intron) in the gDNA.

Fed bivalves (see spreadsheet).
From Dave's second heat stress with the clams, 3 clams in the brown bag were dead this morning.
qPCR of normalizing genes to see if they amplify only cDNA (not gDNA). Used the sample templates as 10/20/11 and used all normalizing gene primers that we have: EF1a, GAPDH, Actin, 18s, 28s, ARP.
Results: GAPDH, actin, 18s, 28s and ARP primers amplify both genomic and cDNA. NTC amplified for GADPH and 18s. All products had identical melt curves for cDNA and gDNA, except for ARP. EF1a looks like it may be cDNA specific, but I will do another PCR to check.
Results: cDNA amplified much sooner than any of the gDNA samples, but they still came up late in the cycles. NTCs were clean.

OA FHL 2011
qPCR of gDNA and cDNA with new primers described 10/17/11. gDNA sample used is from SJW - Gill tissue 0627 - and cDNA is Gill VE1. Thermalcycler protocol is 2 step amp eva green + melt.
Results: Products that amplified are indicated with a "*". cDNA for aspartate aminotransferase, Tld, MTIV, and 18s showed very little amplification. Melt curves between gDNA and cDNA were different for hsc70, aspartate aminotransferase, phosphocomutase, MTIV, and 18s. There were not melt curves for glutamine synthase, Tld, and cDNA for aspartate aminotransferase, phosphoglucomutase, and 18s. There was NTC amplification for aspartate aminotransferase, Tld, and 18s.
Next steps: Check possible primer dimer in aspartate aminotransferase, Tld, and 18s. Tld and glutamine synthetase may work (i.e. may not amplify gDNA), but glut synth. does not amplify anything at this annealing temperature and Tld shows evidence of some contamination. Aspartate aminotransferase probably has primer dimer. All other primers amplify genomic DNA.

OA FHL 2011
Designed more primers to span the intron boundary to avoid amplifying gDNA. Genes were picked from a list of genes that have genomic sequence and, for the most part, for which intron/exon boundaries are known. Genes were also picked based on functionality: energy metabolism, immune, and housekeeping. Two genes were picked that did not yield usable boundaries for primer design: ATB0 (Accession Number AB185609, an amino acid transporter) and a metallothionein gene promoter (AJ249659). The following are the genes for which I designed primers:
hsc70, heat shock cognate 70 (AJ305315): gDNA sequence was aligned with RNA sequence (HS119891) that was retrieved in a megablast against ESTs, narrowing the search to Crassostrea. The alignment was done in Spidey to find the intron/exon boundaries. The primers were designed on the RNA sequence and meant to span the boundary that occurs at the RNA bp 571/572. The SRIDs for these primers are 1396 and 1397.
glutamine synthetase(AJ564739): This gene is used in metabolism of nitrogen. The intron/exon boundaries are known and the primers were designed off of the gDNA sequence. The forward primer spans the intron from bp 751-876 and the reverse spans the intron from bp 1024-1299.
The SRID for these primers are 1398 and 1399.
aspartate aminotransferase (AY660003): This gene is used in amino acid metabolism and changes expression during environmental stress. The primers were designed off of the RNA sequence after alignment with gDNA in Spidey. The intron/exon boundary occurs at RNA bp 138/139 and the forward primer overlaps it. The forward primer goes from bp 128-147 and the reverse from 249-268. The SRID for these primers are 1400 and 1401.
phosphoglucomutase (AJ512213): This gene is involved in metabolism. The primers were designed on the genomic DNA sequence, for which the intron/exon boundaries are known. The forward primer spans the intron from bp 699-1540 and the reverse is within the exon at bp 1730-1749. The SRID for these primers are 1402 and 1403.
Tolloid-like protein, Tld (AJ543452): Involved in the immune response. The primers were designed on the genomic DNA sequence. The forward primer spans the intron from bp 1424-2335 and the reverse occurs within an exon at bp 3457-3755. The SRID for these primers are 1404 and 1405.
MTIV, metallothionein IV (AM265551): The primers were designed on genomic DNA. The forward primer spans an intron from bp 54-156 and the reverse is within an exon at bp 708-817. The SRID for these primers are 1406 and 1407.
18s (EF035120): Housekeeping gene. The primers were designed on genomic DNA, however the boundaries were found using Spidey. The forward spans an intron from 656-670 and the reverse spans a couple of introns from 813-824. The SRID for these primers are 1408 and 1409.

Secondary Stress Trial
Fed bivalves in the morning and evening (see spreadsheet).
2 clams from the purple bag (39°C heat shock) were dead in the morning and 3 were dead in the evening.
Made 0.5 M EDTA, pH 8
Dissolved 18.61 g of EDTA in 100 mL of Nanopure water by first dissolving about 1/3 of the EDTA in ~50 mL of water. The pH of this starter solution was increased by adding NaOH pellets until the solution was clear. Then the rest of the EDTA was slowing added, along with more NaOH pellets, all the while constantly stirring. NaOH pellets were slowly added to bring the pH up to 8. More water needed to be added too since the solution at one point got too viscous. When the pH was at 8 and all solute was dissolved, the solution was poured into a graduated cylinder and the entire volume was brought to 100 mL. The solution was then put back on the stir plate and brought to pH 8 again using a few drops of 10 N HCl.
Made 20% SDS
Dissolved 20 g of SDS in 100 mL of Nanopure water. First put beaker on stir plate with ~ 50 mL of water, then slowly added SDS. Stirring was slow to avoid sudsing. When the SDS was no longer going into solution, turned heat on low and continued adding. Added a little more water to help with dissolution. After all SDS was added and dissolved, poured solution into a graduated cylinder and brought to 100 mL.

Heat shock of clams and oysters to find lethal heat treatment (LHT). Water bath is brought to temperature and beakers of salt water are placed in the bath to also equilibrate. Once the beakers are at the correct T (checked with a thermometer), oysters/clams in mesh bags are placed in the beaker. They heat shock lasts 1 hour, at which point the animals are removed and (still in the bag) placed into the 50 gallon acclimation tank in the basement. Different heat treatments are indicated by differently colored zip ties on the oyster/clam bags. Below is a table of zip tie colors for the heat shock temperatures (HSTemp).

Secondary Stress Trial
Brought all of our total alkalinity samples up to Friday Harbor to analyze them on the titrator in Moose's lab. Verified accuracy of titrator by running the Dickson standard 3 times - in the beginning, middle, and end of running all of our samples. Oysters caused significant decreases in total alkalinity, regardless of density and feeding status. Clams did not significantly change the alkalinity in their jars. At the end of the experiment, the oysters and clams were put in mesh bags and placed back into the large, round tank with the other oysters and clams. The high CO2 exposed bivalves have zip ties on their bags.
We also dropped 6 samples and 1 CRM off with Dongsen Xue in Forestry to run on his titrator. The samples were : High CO2 Cg 8-2 092811; Low CO2 Cg 4-2 092811; Low CO2 092711 from the start of the experiment; Low CO2 control 1 092811; High CO2 clam 5-2 092811; High CO2 092711 from the start of the experiment. Dongsen reports Total CaCO3 concentrations instead of total alkalinity.

Secondary Stress Trial
Bivalves in large tank were fed at 9:15 am (see spreadsheet).
In the morning, all jars were sampled for spec pH, salinity, temperature, and ammonia (for jars containing animals and 1 control). In general, pH dropped to about 6.9 in all the oyster jars regardless of starting pH, stayed consistent in the non-animal controls, stayed consistent in the clam jars with 5 clams, and dropped a little (~0.2 units) in the clam jars with 10 clams. After sampling for pH, all animals were fed 40 mL of algae.
In the afternoon, 1 jar from each replicate was sampled for spec pH and total alkalinity. Duplicate alkalinity samples were taken for time series of beer bottles and for verification of the Forestry spec method. All samples were poisoned with ~70 µL HgCl2. After sampling, water was changed in all the jars. The ambient water was at pH 8 so we added 0.4% of high CO2 water to 4.75 L of ambient to get the low pH treatment.
Dave will feed all the animals in the evening. Only 1 jar from each replicate will be fed for the next 24 hours to see if feeding causes changes in pH (jars 1 are the fed jars).
The new treatment water is pH 8.03 for low CO2 and 7.77 for high CO2.
For detailed pH, see
water chemistry spreadsheet.

Secondary Stress Trial
Bivalves were fed at 8:20 am (see spreadsheet).
Took 2 cuvettes full of water from each trash can (low and high CO2) and added 70 µL of 0.1 N NaOH or HCl to low and high, respectively. The low CO2 Mukilteo water is 7.7 and the high is not calculable because it is so high.
Mixed 50/50, 25/75, and 10/90 high/low CO2 water and took pH. The 10/90 mixture was at pH of ~4.
Turned off pure CO2 bubbling into high CO2 trash can. Made mixes of 10, 20, and 50 mL of high CO2 water in ~2L of low CO2 water. From these pHs, we made a regression of pH on % volume high CO2 water. To get a low pH 0.2 units below the control, we need to add 0.18% volume high CO2 water, or about 8.8 mL to 5L.
We have 2 pH treatments: high CO2 and low CO2 (pH of about 7.7 and 7.9). In each pH, there are 2 densities of oysters (4 or 8) or clams (5 or 10) per jar, in duplicate. There are also 2 control jars per pH without any animals. We took duplicate spec pH measurements of both treatments and 5 total alkalinity samples - 2 in PMEL bottles and 3 in beer bottles. The animals were put in their treatment jars around 13:30.
Wet masses were taken of groups of bivalves as they were put into their jars. The jar labels are type of animal (Cg or clam) followed by # in jar-replicate.

Reconstituted primers designed Sept 14, 2011 in TE buffer (pH 8.5). SR IDs are as follows: IMSP5 = 1387, 1388; ATP synthase = 1386, 1385; citrate synthase = 1384, 1383; Prx6 = 1382, 1381.
Did qPCR using all primers on gDNA (DH 12 from Sam's -20C gDNA Box 1) and cDNA (C. gigas gill vibrio exposed). All primers amplified cDNA, only IMSP5 amplified gDNA, but is probably primer dimer because it also amplified in the negative control where no other primer pair did. Also did a gradient between 50 and 57°C and all primers amplify well at 55°C. Need to make sure that gDNA was actually amplifiable by checking with 18s primers.

Two samples - both from treatment 105B (1500 µatm) taken on 8/1/11 - were extracted for demonstration purposes and discarded.
Primer design for qPCR - primers must span introns.
Since I have not been able to get rid of all gDNA in the RNA samples, I'm going to design primers that will amplify only cDNA. I have found gDNA sequence in C. gigas or a related species for Prx6 (C. gigas sequence AM265552), ATP synthase (C. gigas sequence EE677774), citrate synthase (EE677716), and IMSP-5 (a protein from the oyster shell,HS208448). I was not able to find sequence for SOD. Dave supposedly has primers that might amplify only cDNA for Hsp70, but they have not yet been tested with gDNA.
To find gDNA to align with the RNA off of which the primers were originally designed for these genes, I first did a megablast of the RNA sequence against Crassostrea sequences only. If that yielded gDNA, then I used that gene sequence and aligned it with the RNA in Spidey (indicating it was C. elegans, which probably has the most similar splice sites). If the original blast did not yield any results, then I blasted against S. purpuratus only, searching for somewhat similar sequences. If that still did not work, then I opened up the blast parameters to all organisms in genbank, searching for somewhat similar sequences. The following are the species for which I found gDNA corresponding to the RNA that I was blasting:
Prx6 - primers were originally designed off of a DNA sequence with 6 exons (C. gigas,AM265552); exons occur on DNA 38-123, 918-1074, 2091-2234, 2952-3025, 3190-3262, 3352-3483
ATP synthase - S. purpuratus (NM_214578); exons occur on mRNA sequence 262-437 and 577-623
citrate synthase - Aspergillus niger (HQ407432); exons occur on mRNA sequence 96-157 and 638-708
IMSP-5 - Lotus japonicus (AP004959); exons occur on mRNA sequence 466-563 and 611-662
Prx6 SRID: 1381, 1382
ATP synthase SRID: 1385, 1386
citrate synthase SRID: 1383, 1384
IMSP-5 SRID: 1387, 1388

At 9:30 am, the oysters and clams were fed as described 9/9/11. The volume of algae was about 300 mL. The information was entered in the bivalve feeding
spreadsheet.
Bivalves were fed again around 6 pm. Ammonia levels were checked in the water and were at 1 ppm (threshold = 0.1 ppm). Did a full water change.
September 9, 2011
Secondary Stress Trial
We got ~200 pacific oysters and 200 manila clams from Joth's farm. We put the oysters and clams in a large fiberglass tank with water circulating through a chiller to keep it at 16°C and through biofilters.
At 4pm we reduced the water in the tank to 40.5 L and fed the bivalves 60,000 cells of algae mix (from Taylor) per mL, about 575 mL. After about 1/2 hour, when the water had been cleared of algal cells, we then put the same water back in the tank.
Plans for the trial and links to data on feeding the bivalves can be found

Notes from Richard Strathmann on larval rearing
To make a water bath, use aquarium heater and circulating pump with a stopcock to regulate flow.
Do water changes with a sieve and bowl.
At 22°C with feeding, water changes need to be every day in a static system.
If there is flow, need to monitor amount - does the outlet have material stuck in it?
Scottie Henderson (dissertation in FHL library) used pulse food supply.
IV bag could drip food in. Could shine a light on the bag to keep culture photosynthesizing. Could also slow siphon using valve and small stopcock.
If pulse feeding, can do ad libitum, ~ >100,000 cells of isochrysis per mL (based on M. edulis), bigger cells would be less. This amount does not scale with larval age.
Possible mix for larvae: Isochrysis galbana + Pavlova lutherii or nanochoropsis or chitopserois.
Organic content is about equal to cell volume, but much larger cells have bigger vacuoles.
When collecting hatched larvae , make sure they are not malformed.
Spawning: take straight from lagoon and spawn immediately or feed and keep at a higher temperature. Can wedge open the shell and inject serotonin into the adductor (or anywhere) - may yield better eggs.
could adjust larval density for a constant biomass
Ciliates should wash out in a continuous flow.
When strip spawn, rinse tissue well with filtered seawater.
quality of food is important with sterilized seawater.
Settlement: Would be cleaner with tiles, but shell may stimulate them better. Try adding K+ or cesium ions, check concentration to get maximum effect (Yool et al. 1986 Biol Bull). Yool's results: Greater synchrony, downstream of normal sensory input, normal metabolism and good survival.

OA FHL 2011
Nanodrop concentrations of 105A and 105B cDNA. The concentrations are very similar to 103A3 so there should be enough cDNA for a qPCR since that sample amplified well.
Redid qPCR of the 105 samples with the same primers. Also did qPCR of all samples using Hsp70 primers (SR ID 971 and 972). Protocol is 2Step Amp+Melt Eva Green.
August 23, 2011
OA FHL 2011
Nanodropped all DNased RNA samples 3 times. Concentrations were higher (~8-16 ng/µL), but this may be because the background blank of pure water is no longer a true blank after DNAsing.
Went ahead and reverse transcribed all samples. Since concentrations are so low, reverse transcribed the maximum volume (still less than 1 µg) of 17.75 µL. Added 0.5 µL Oligo dT primers to sample and incubated at 70C for 5 minutes, followed by a few minutes on ice. Then added 5 µL MMLV 5x buffer, 1.25 µL 10 DNTPs, and 0.5 µL of reverse transcriptase to each sample - mixed and incubated 42C for 1 hour + 3 minutes deactivation at 95C.
Did qPCR of cDNA using 1 µL template a full concentration (equal volume pooled cDNA from all samples), diluted 2x, 4x, and 10x for a dilution test. Primers used were superoxide dismutase (SR ID 600 and 601) and EF1a. qPCR protocol used was 2Step Amp+Melt Eva Green (annealing = 55C).
All NTCs were clean. The only samples that amplified were EF1a full concentration and 2x dilution.
Did qPCR using the same EF1a and SOD primers, glutathione peroxidase (Rachel's primers from 441), and peroxiredoxin 6 (SRID 634 and 635). Used 2 µL of full concentration cDNA template. Did positive controls of gDNA and cDNA.
All NTCs were clean. The 105A and 105B samples did not amplify. It's not a problem with the primers because there was amplification of the 103A and 103B samples and positive controls.
August 22, 2011
OA FHL 2011
DNased all RNA samples (Ambion's Turbo Dnase kit, regular protocol). Due to low concentrations of RNA had to DNase entire volume of RNA. Diluted DNased RNA 1 µL in 19 µL water for qPCR test of gDNA contamination. Stored DNased RNA in -80•C.
qPCR of DNased RNA using 18s primers. Did qPCR using 1 and 2 µL of RNA template (both diluted 1:20).
gDNA contamination in all samples, but NTCs were clean.

qPCR of RNA extracted August 18 to check for genomic DNA carry-over. Diluted RNA 1:20 and 1:10 and amplified in 20 µL reactions using Sso Fast EvaGreen mix. The thermal cycler program used was 2 Step Amp+Melt EvaGreen.
There was gDNA contamination in all the samples (NTCs were clean). All samples need to be DNased.

OA FHL 2011
Extracted RNA from all samples collected July 26, 2011. Used Tri Reagent and followed manufacturer's protocol. Did not see any pellets in any of the samples. Resuspended the RNA in 0.1% DEPC, 50 µL and pipetted 3 times to mix. Nanodropped RNA 3 times (1 µL each) per sample to get concentration. All concentrations are very low and entire volume will need to be used for reverse transcription. RNA is stored in NOAA OA May-June 2011 box in -80C.
OA NOAA August 2011
NOAA is doing another OA experiment with 6 different treatments: 400, 600, 800, 1000, 600 +/- 200, and 800 +/- 200 µatm. They are rearing C. gigas larvae in each of the treatments. I sampled 2 entire jars per treatment for RNA analysis. The entire jar volume was decanted onto a 20µm mesh sieve. The larvae were washed down into a small volume at the bottom of the sieve and transferred to a 2 mL tube. The tubes were spun down at 4,000 rpm for 1 minute. The water was drawn off and remaining material was flash frozen on dry ice. The samples were stored at -80C at NOAA.

I spent the last week counting the larvae I fixed during the OA experiment, assessing levels of calcification and measuring the larvae. Polarization was used for calcification and it doesn't look like there is much of a difference between treatments. For measurements, shell hinge length and depth were measured at 10x using CF's Nikon. Using a two-sided t-test in R, there is a significant difference in hinge length between 400 and 1000 µatm on day 3 and a difference in shell depth between the control larvae and all treatments on day 3 (4 days post-fertilization). p-values are in pink on the images; on the shell depth graph, all p-values refer to a comparison between that treatment and 400 µatm. The colors correspond to the following treatments: blue = 400, green = 700, yellow = 1000, orange = 1500.

Assembled information for a table in the manuscript that includes gene accession number (sptlc1=JN315146, 3KDSR=JN315143, AC=44, GlcCer=45), sequence length, similar oyster ESTs and top blast hit in NCBI. The similar oyster ESTs were found by doing a blastn of the amplified nucleotide sequence, selecting "other EST" and constraining the search to C. gigas. The top blast hit was found by running a blastx of the nucleotide sequence within the swissprot database.

Started counting samples from 1st timepoint of experiment - 7/25 1 hour post fertilization. Counted total number of eggs in each tube, number of eggs that have evidence of a polar body or fertilization envelope (indicating successful fertilization), and cleavage stage if present. The fixation seemed to work well, but there are fewer eggs than I expected in each sample. Entire sample is emptied from the tube into a welled plate and then 0.5 mL of 70% EtOH is used to rinse out the tube into the well. When done counting, the entire volume from the well is pipetted back into the tube and the well is rinsed with 0.5 mL of 70% EtOH.

End of experiment
Did TA and spec pH on cooler water and 2 containers in 105B (because flow is still a problem in these containers).
From each remaining container, took 2 separate aliquots of 2x 1000 µL each for live/dead counts. Filtered out remaining larvae and fixed in PFA (fixation finished 8/4).

OA FHL 2011
Sampled 2 containers for RNA and counting from each treatment: 103A-5, 103A-6, 103B-1, 103B-2, 105A-4, 105A-5, 105B-2, 105B-3. Containers were chosen because they had the highest densities based on last week's counts for the 4 remaining larval containers in each treatment. Larvae were spun down in 2 mL of water and flash frozen in liquid N2. For counting, 4 aliquots of 500 µL were taken per container and for fixation, 2 aliquots of 500 µL was taken.
Counts were done for live/dead and totals. Photos were taken for SEM: 9 photos for 103B, 10 for 103A, 5 for 105B, and 1 for 105A (there was only one larva counted in all the subsamples taken for the 105A treatment).
Samples were taken from the cooler water for DIC, TA and spec pH. For each container sampled for RNA, water chemistry was done (pH and TA).
Some samples from previous days were run for TA and DIC.
The larvae were fed ~60,000 cells per mL of the hatchery algae mix by turning off the water flow for 2 hours.

OA FHL 2011
Finished total counts of larvae sampled 7/28. Also took SEM of the same larvae: 7 larvae photographed from treatment 103A, 10 from 103B, 5 from 105A, and 4 from 105B.
Took salinity and temperature from all outside cooler water and took spec pH of same water.
Sampled containers for RNA (emptied all larvae onto mesh, poured into 2 mL vial, spun down for 1 min at 2,500 rpm and flash frozen): 103A-3, 103A-4, 103B-3, 103B-5, 105A-1, 105A-2, 105B-4, 105B-6.

OA FHL 2011
Crisis at 6 am - cooler 106B pH was down to 6.5. Switched containers over to 105B, which had been pre-equilibrated at 7.52 starting yesterday. Took a spec sample to see how low pH had gotten within the container (sample was of 106B-3). The containers will stay permanently in 105B. Without temperature correction, the pH in 106B-3 was about 6.8.
Sampled all containers for counting (3x 500 µL aliquots). Live/dead counts were done today, but total counts will be done tomorrow morning (as well as SEM!). Sampled containers 1, 3 and 4 for fixation with PFA (2x 500 µL aliquots).
Took pH and TA samples from containers 3 and 4.
Took pH, TA and DIC samples from outer cooler water.
Used what I thought was a 50 µm mesh sieve for the first container (103B-1), but I think it was actually much larger because no larvae were retained. Switched back tot he 35 µm for the remainder and larvae were present in every well.
Ran total alkalinity for cooler water samples collected 7/25 and 7/27 (8 samples).
Made new 4% PFA in seawater.
July 27, 2011
OA FHL 2011
Made new 50 µm mesh for outflows on 105A and 106B (see 7/26). Took samples for DIC, TA and pH and ran DIC from 7/25 and 7/27. Fed larvae.
Continued fixation of larvae from yesterday. Only did 2 PBS washes, leaving larvae in second wash at 4C.
Around 11 am we ran out of CO2 and all the pHs went to ~8 in all the treatments. Moose and I installed another cylinder, and the systems re-adjusted, but in most cases the pH was overshot and went too low before it re-equilibrated. All seem OK now.
At 11:30 am took samples from outer cooler water for DIC and TA and measured, salinity, temperature, and took spec pH.
Counted algal cells for larval feeding. Counted 3 squares in hemacytometer, 25 of which equal one square millimeter. For Dunaliella, there were ~366 cells per square mm and for Isochrysis ~ 216 (diluted 1:1 and 2:1, algae : EtOH, respectively). This scales up to 1.8 million cells per mL for Dunaliella and 1.3 million for Isochrysis. To feed the larvae approximated 45 million cells oof each (30,000 cells per mL in a 3 L container), they need 24 mL of Dunaliella and 34 mL of Iso. At 4 pm, turned off water flow and fed larvae. Turned water flow back on at 6 pm. Tubing has not arrived yet, so had to feed larvae by adding food and turning off water flow for 2 hours.
At 6 pm, took spec samples from outer cooler water and salinity and temperature.
Ran DIC for all samples collected 7/25 and 7/27 standardizing against CRM 111.
July 26, 2011
OA FHL 2011
Finished fixing samples from 7/25. Cleaned and replaced water in all tanks, started on flow-through. Took samples for counting live/dead and fixing for scope work later. Took chemistry samples (TA and pH) of all outer cooler water and inside 2 containers for each treatment.
Details:
Finished the fixation process from 7/25. Removed the PFA and washed 2x with 1x PBS, letting stand 15 minutes in between each wash. Then washed in increasing concentrations of EtOH: 30, 50, and 70%, again letting stand 15 minutes between each. Left larvae in the 70% EtOH and stored at 4C.
Around 8:30 in the morning, took samples for spec pH from the outer cooler water of all treatments and from the following larval containers: 106B-2, 105A-2, 105A-3, 103B-1, 103A-2, 103A-4, 103B-3, 106B-3. Also took samples in Pyrex bottles (poisoned) for total alkalinity.
In turn, emptied each larval container onto a 35 µm mesh sieve and then rinsed the larvae from the sieve into a 50 mL Flacon tube. Filled the tube to 50 mL with the appropriate pCO2 SW. Inverting 3x between each aliquot, aliquoted 450 µL (3x 150 µL)of larvae in seawater into a gridded welled plate. Aliquoted the same amount into a 2 mL microcentrifuge tube and added 7.5% MgCl2 for 15 minutes. Then followed same steps as 7/25 for PFA. For the larvae in the welled plate, counted live vs. dead on an inverted scope (went to 32x to verify mortalities) and total counts.
Later in the afternoon, noticed that some of the containers in tanks 105 and 106 were overflowing. The problem seemed to be caused by not enough outflow from the containers. Tried to fix the problem for most of the evening and replaced most of the containers with new ones that had good flow around 1 am. By 2 am, all containers seemed to be holding a good volume and not overflowing. At 6:45 am on 7/27 came back and a couple containers looked like they were overflowing again. Replaced all the outflow mesh with 50 µm and the problem seems to be fixed.
July 25, 2011
OA FHL 2011
Took spec pH of the cooler water and of the water in one larval container for each treatment (6 am). Recalibrated the Durafet probes based on the spec pH for the cooler water. Turned off flow through on larval containers.
At 7:30 am, collected 31 adult C. gigas from Argyle Creek. Strip spawned 10 females and 4 males, separating sperm and eggs.
Fertilization (in the correct pCO2 water) began around 10:30 am. About 90,000 eggs were fertilized with about 1200 sperm.
The fertilized eggs were incubated for 10-15 minutes to allow fertilization to occur and were then rinsed into the static larval containers (static for 24h).
Fertilization of the falcon tubes used to monitor development and take samples for fixation within the first 24 hours begain at 11:25 am and proceeded as follows for each of the treatment coolers (2replicates fertilized per cooler):
106B - 11:25 am
105A - 11:40 am
103A - 11:55 am
103B - 12:10 pm
The fertilized eggs were left to incubate for 10 minutes and then put into 40 mL of seawater at the correct pCO2. The tubes were placed in the coolers that contain the larval containers. At one hour post fertilization (hpf), the Falcon tubes were gently inverted 3x and 500 uL were aliquoted into a microcentrifuge tube (this was repeated for a total of 1 mL). The fertilized eggs were allowed to settle to the bottom of the tube for 5 minutes, then the seawater was drawn off and 1 mL of 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) was added. The tubes were left to sit overnight.
Starting at 5:25 pm (6 hpf) when there was evidence of the larvae hatching into the trocophore stage, the same steps were repeated except the larvae were all strained onto a 35 µm mesh screen and rinsed using 1 mL of SW into a tube. 1 mL of 7.5% MgCl2 was added to relax the larvae and they were left to sit for 15 minutes. The SW + MgCl2 was then removed and replaced with 1 mL of 4% PFA, left to sit overnight.
At 2:30 pm, samples were taken in 500 mL Pyrex bottles for carbonate chemistry from each cooler. Samples were also taken for spec and temperature and salinity were measured with probes.

OA FHL 2011
Tank 103 is adjusted to the correct pH levels as is tank 106B. Tanks 105 and 106A are not appropriately equilibrating. Tank 106A was not flowing through and so was not allowing turnover of water - replumbed it and seems to be getting a little better. Turned off the CO2 to tanks 105 so that the pH could come up. Moose also fixed a problem with the vacuum compressor, which may help as well.
Temperature is not getting high enough on any of the tanks (does not go above 22 C). On tanks 103, put a heater in the cooler that contains the cooling coil (set at 24C) to try and warm the incoming water. Each cooler containing the experimental replicates has 1 500W heater, it may be that they each need 2.

Made new m-cresol purple: dissolved 0.016 g of m-cresol purple (MW = 404.4 g/mol) in 20 mL of milliQ water to make 2mmol/L solution. Brought to pH ~7.9 using 0.1N HCl. Did a dye addition correction using 4 samples of seawater, 2 with added HCl for a pH range (10 µl and 20 µl).
The slope (b) = -1.415
The intercept (a) = 0.996
Durafet pH probe calibration: Each tank has a Durafet probe attached to the pump that measures the pH of the water in the tank. These need to be calibrated with the spectrophotometric pH. Turned off the water flow into the coolers around 9 am and let the water circulate through the pumps for ~1/2 hour. Took one cuvette of water from each tank to measure pH using m-cresol purple (MCP). Calibrated temperature for each probe using the Fluke thermometer. Tanks 103 A and B were at 10C, 105 A and B were 10.4C, and 106 A and B were 10.2 and 10.3 C, respectively. pH measured at 25C was adjusted for dye addition (see above) and adjusted for temperature using CO2calc and assuming that total alkalinity = 2060 µmol/kg. Probes were calibrated to the correct pH as follows:

OA FHL 2011: Choosing pH for OA experiments
The coolers representing different treatments need to be set at specific pH that represent the correct µatm treatments for CO2 in seawater. These values depend on total alkalinity (TA), salinity, and temperature. Students in the OA class have measured the TA and salinity of the incoming water into the tanks. TA = 2060 µmol/kg, salinity = 30.1 ppt. All measurements are taken at 25C. For each temperature treatment, the adjusted conditions are set to the correct T (24 or 28C). Constants used in CO2calc are Lueker et al. 2000 for CO2 constants, Dickson 1990b for KHSO4, Total pH scale, Wanninkhof 1992 for air-sea flux (Dickson, pers. comm.) pH at which the Honeywell controllers will be set are:
24C, 400 µatm: 8.04
24C, 700 µatm: 7.84
24C, 1000 µatm: 7.69
28C, 400 µatm: 7.98
28C, 700 µatm: 7.78
28C, 1000 µatm: 7.64

How to measure total alkalinity
- Find a clean, dry 200 mL beaker
- Rinse beaker 3 times with a small amount of water from your sample (dispose of rinse water properly)
- Fill beaker with sample to ~130 mL
- Zero balance and weigh beaker with water and zero again. Remove beaker from balance, pour the sample into the insulated beaker on the stir plate and place empty beaker on the balance. The sample weight is the absolute value of the number on the balance display. Record the sample weight.
- Stir contents of insulated beaker with a magnetic stir bar. Place TA and temperature electrodes in the sample. The sample should warm to 25 +/- 0.1 degree C.
- Click “initialize instrument” in Controls tab.
- When temperature is attained, enter the salinity and weight of the sample into the Controls tab in LabView. Click “begin titration”
- An initial pulse of HCl will be added, then none for 2-5 minutes, then small pulses. The TA measured by the two different electrodes should be within 4 units of each other.
- When TA measurement is done, rinse probes over sample with DI water and pat gently with kimwipes. Do NOT touch the electrodes on the bottom of the probes.
- Use the peristaltic pump to suck out the water from the beaker into the SW + HCl waste. Rinse the insulated beaker with DI water a few times and turn off pump when done.
- Without touching the inside of the insulated beaker, remove the stir bar with a kimwipe. Wipe out 3 times with kimwipes to dry
Making m-cresol purple
M-cresol purple needs to be kept at 4C once the powder is dissolved because the dye degrades in water over time. The concentration of the dye for a 10 mL cuvette should be 2 mmol/L, or 0.04044 g in 50 mL of nanopure/milliQ water. The dye needs to be brought to 7.9 +/- 0.1 pH, or the ratio of the absorbance peaks at 434 and 578 wavelengths should be ~1.6. This can be achieved by adding NaOH or HCl. The pH is determined by spec using a short path length (1 cm) cuvette at 25C.

The frozen larvae are stored in a freezer box in the -80C. They are on the second shelf from the bottom (currently on the righthand side). The tubes are labeled on the side with the jar, treatment, and date of collection. The three treatments are 280, 400, and 1000 ppm.
Ceramide: qPCR
Designed new primers for 3KDSR qPCR (3KDSR_qPCR.2, 1341 and 1342 SRID). The primers were reconstituted with TE buffer (pH 8.5) to 100 uM. qPCR was done on 2 cDNA samples and 3 negative controls to test primers. The cDNA amplified and had a single melt curve; the NTCs were blank.
qPCR was done on all control and vibrio-exposed samples (n=8 for each treatment) in duplicate.
All samples amplified. One NTC had amplification that could be problematic. The difference in expression between control and vibrio-exposed is not significant (p=0.07).

Jars counted: 3A4, 3A5, 3B4, 1A4, 1A5, 1B4, 6A4, 1B5, 3B5, 6A5, 6B4
All jars sampled for RNA
Spec done for jars: 1B4, 1B5, 3B4, 3B5, 6B5, 6A5
Counts:
counts were done for live/dead, calcification, and size. Aliquots used for counting were 6x1000 uL divided between 2 wells. Calculations were done as described May 19. Calcification data were taken on June 7. As for June 1, there were barely any larvae left in the 1000 ppm treatment and densities were low in all jars.
For the samples taken for RNA for 1A5 and 1B5 there were many shell bits that were too hard to remove without compromising the sample.
3A4 was the only jar that was first filtered with 180 um mesh to get rid of rotifers (it didn't seem to help much since the rotifers were still there, they were probably able to squeeze through the mesh).
The algae used to feed the larvae had crashed but was still being delivered into the larval chambers.
Copepods had proliferated in some of the jars and I saw many copepod eggs and some copepodites.
The wells corresponding to 6B4 were completely covered by rotifers. When EtOH was added to these wells, the rotifers created a solid mat on the bottom.

Spec done for jars: 1A4, 1A5, 3A4, 3A5, 6A4, 6A5
Counts: counts were done for live/dead, calcification, and size. Aliquots used for counting were 3x 1000 uL. Calculations were done as described May 19. Sarah took size pictures for plate 2, wells A2, B2 and C2 on June 2. Trends included: a number of the jars at 1000 ppm had no larvae at all; there was no obvious trend in number of larvae swimming per treatment or in calcification or mortality. Since the anomalous results at previous time points for the 1000 ppm treatments drive the trends, it seems that the lack of data for this time point results in no obvious trends. The absence of larvae could be due to a mass mortality event between May 27 and June 1.
Rotifers were in all jars counted and were very dense in some. This distracted from counting. The rotifers also "kick" the larvae, which seems to cause the larvae to close their valves and cease swimming. In 6B4, there was so much algae and rotifer bodies that it was difficult to see the larvae.

Jars sampled for RNA: 1B3, 3B3, 6B3, 1B6, 3B6, 6B6*
*There are two tubes for 6B6 because there was so much algae in the sample that the volume couldn't be reduced enough on the sieve to fit in one tube.
Spec done for jars: 1B3, 3B3, 6B3, 1B6, 3B4, 6B6
Counts: counts were done for live/dead, calcification, and size. Aliquots used for counting were 3x450 uL. Calculations were done as described May 19. Calcification for plate 4 was done on May 28 (in the morning around 7:30 am). Trends included: slightly greater number of larvae swimming in the 1000 ppm; fewer completely calcified larvae at 1000 ppm and greater partially calcified and uncalcified; overall least amount of total mortality at 1000 ppm but the single jar with the greatest total mortality was also at 1000 ppm; inconsistent instant mortality.
Rotifers were observed in almost all the jars. There was a lot of algae in the jars from treatment 6, box B. Jar 6A5 was dropped and ~1/3 of the contents spilled. The jar was refilled with water and replaced in its box. Around 9 pm, ~60 g of adult C. gigas shell fragment were placed in all the remaining jars. In one box for each treatment, two jars were put in the system with only water and 2 jars with water and 60 g of shell fragment to monitor changes in total alkalinity.

Counts: counts were done for live/dead and calcification. Photos were taken for size for plate 6. Sarah took photos for the other plates the next day (5/20). Aliquots used for counting were 7x100 uL (700 uL). Calculations and graphs were made to observe trends for % swimming larvae, % calcified, % partially calcified, % uncalcified, total mortality, and instant mortality. Since the number of empty shells were recorded, it is possible to separate out the larvae that have died recently (instant mortality) from those that have died over the course of the experiment but have just been counted (total mortality). % swimming is based on the total larvae, including the empty shells. All the calculations for % calcified, etc. are based on total larvae excluding the empty shells. Observed general trends include: more larvae are swimming at 1000 ppm; more larvae are totally calcified at 400 ppm > 280 ppm > 1000 ppm; more larvae are partially calcified and uncalcified at 1000 ppm; total and instant mortalities arehighest at 400 ppm and lowest at 1000 ppm. Ciliates were present in some jars.

Ceramide sequencing
Analysis/incorporation of new sequences
3KDSR to include stop codon: Assembled all previously sequenced reverse sequences. Based on alignment with the new reverse sequence (R2), deleted all Ns and the first 6 bp (GCCCTT) from the consensus (1626). Assembled with R2 and made consensus (1627). Assembled all previously sequenced forward sequences and made consensus (1628). Made reverse complement of the contig 1627 and assembled with the forward contig (1628) to make consensus full sequence 1630. Trimmed at bp 111 to start with ATG. Based on majority rule, base pairs were changed in the contig 1630 to have certainty in protein translation: bp 904 = G, bp 936 = G, bp 964 = C. Translated and trimmed amino acid sequence to include first stop codon at aa 329.
Sptlc1 missing middle 26 bp: Sequenced purified gel band of Sptlc1 PCR (F and R) and resequenced plasmid prep from before (F and R) for 4 new sequences. Assembled all previous and new F and R sequences - F contig is 1631, R is 1632. They did not align. Aligned them with the original Sptlc1 EST and there are still 10 bp missing in the middle of the sequence.

Shallin and Mike showed me how to take samples for PMEL to test total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). The jars (500 mL) are from PMEL and are made to be nonporous.
1. label the jars with a paint marker: "NWFSC/UW dd/mm/yy Tank #"
2. Grease the stopper and smooth out the grease by moving the stopper in the neck of the jar
3. Make sure the equilibrator pump is on and attach tubing to outlet from equilibrator.
4. Let water flow out the tube for at least 1 minute.
5. Rinse bottle well, upside down so water flows out.
6. Fill bottle completely with water from tank and let overflow for at least 5 seconds (about equal to half the volume of the bottle).
7. Pinch off tube tightly and quickly remove from jar. It is important to have adequate headspace so that the water does not overflow after the poison is added. Turn off water flow.
8. Poison jar with mercuric chloride (Shallin does this) and put in stopper.

The NOAA side of the experiment ended on Sunday (May 15) and our experiment now has access to 1 more box (=6 more jars) per treatment. The sampling schedule has been updated and is in the google doc of the sampling data.
When I came in Monday morning, there was no water flowing to the jars in treatment 3 (280 ppm). Paul says that they had trouble with that tank on Sunday and that it probably stopped working Sunday night. After doing the pH spec, I verified that the pH in the jars had not been adversely affected by the static water. The jars were all moved to tank 4, which had been previously equilibrated to 280 ppm. The jars are still labeled as treatment 3 jars (i.e. 3A1 as opposed to 4A1) but will remain attached to tank 4 for the remainder of the experiment.
Sampling for May 16:
Total jars sampled for RNA - 1A1, 1A2, 3A1, 3A2, 6A1, 6A2
Jars counted (5 aliquots of 100 uL from the Falcon tube) - 1A1, 1A2, 3A1, 3A2, 6A1, 6A2, 1A3, 1B3, 6A3, 6B3, 1B1, 1B2, 3B1, 3B2, 6B1, 6B2
Details about sampling
RNA: All larvae were removed from jars using a 20 um mesh sieve. Larvae were transferred from the sieve into a 2 mL tube with 1-2 mL of seawater. The tube was spun down at 5,000 rpm for 1 min and the seawater was removed. The larvae were then flash frozen in liquid N2 and later transferred to the -80C freezer.
Counting: Counts were done for live/dead, calcification, and size. In some of the wells (both wells for 1A1 and one well for 1A2) too much EtOH was added and it was difficult to find the partially/uncalcified larvae, so their representation may be missing from the final counts. For these wells, shells were fully calcified if they had they full D-hinge shape and were partially calcified if the shell was very small/was not the correct shape. No uncalcified larvae were found in these wells (which is unrealistic since it is the 1000 ppm treatment). All other wells were easy to score. For size, photos were taken of ~10 larvae per well on the dissecting scope (5x) of larvae that were positioned in the well so that a clear "D" shape was visible when looking down at them. Photos were taken 5.17.11. Measurements have not yet been taken.
Other notes
All larvae were D-hinge or close to (kidney bean shaped) if calcification was apparent. Partially calcified larvae ranged from small dots of calcified material on the larval body to a full shell that did not show a well formed cross under the polarized light.
Empty shells were included in counts of mortality, but not calcification.
There were ciliates in some wells/jars (see data sheet).
There seemed to be more algae in the jars from treatment 1 (1000 ppm) - maybe because the higher pCO2 is causing the algae to grow in the jars?

Sampled 2 jars from each treatment and took data on microscope.
Began cleaning and sampling jars around 8:30 am. Cleaning was accomplished as described for May 10, 2011. Aliquots for counting were 3x 60 uL (180 uL). Calcification amount was also determined on the inverted microscope using double polarization. A few pictures were taken as examples of different levels of calcification: full, partial, uncalcified. Data can be found in link from May 10. Eggs were not included in total counts. A couple of ciliates were seen in one well from jar 3B2. Jar 6B5 was sampled in its entirety for RNA due to low densities of larvae in most of the jars from shelf 6. In general, densities are much lower than expected and the sampling schedule will have to be adjusted accordingly.
Samples were taken for gene expression analysis from 6 jars: 1B1, 3B1, 1B2, 3B3, 6B2, 6B5. After preliminary density counts for each jar, the correct volume for the desired number of larvae (10,000 or 5,000) was taken from the 50 mL Falcon tube. This volume was filtered through a 20 um sieve and then pipetted into a 2 mL screw cap tube. The larvae were left to sit for ~1 min, tapped a few times on the counter to encourage larvae to go to the bottom, and then most of the seawater was pipetted off before the larvae were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. The samples were later transferred to a -80C freezer, but it appears that the dewar had run out of liquid N2 and the samples may not have good quality RNA.
Larval feeding began Thursday at ~4 pm, except for box 3B which was started Friday morning (and given a surplus of food at that time).

Began cleaning and sampling jars around 8:30 am. Each jar was completely emptied into a 20 um mesh sieve and then rinsed out with the appropriate treatment water. A new, clean jar/larval chamber was filled with new water from the appropriate treatment and if that jar was not scheduled to be sampled, all larvae were rinsed into the new jar. If the jar was scheduled to be sampled (jars 5 and 6 for May 10), then a clean jar was prepped while larvae were washed into a 50 mL Falcon tube, which was then filled to 45 mL. The tube was gently mixed ~5x, 3 aliquots of a fixed volume were taken and put into a welled plate (1 well) and then these two steps were repeated so that for each jar sampled there were 2 wells of a fixed volume to count. For shelf 1, the volume taken was 45 uL x3, for shelves 3 and 6 the volume was 25 uL x3 (135 uL yielded too many larvae). After the aliquots were taken from the Falcon tube, it was poured into the new, clean jar and replaced in the appropriate box. At the end of sampling all the jars, they were plugged into the system so that the water would flow through.
Counting of larvae began ~10 am. First, live/dead were determined on the inverted microscope at 40x. Then the larvae were dropped with 100% EtOH and total counts were taken per well on the inverted scope at 4x. Count data are
here
Shallin did pH spec on the system and jars for demography.
Jars were plugged into the system (flow-through) ~4 pm.
Treatment 1 = 1000 ppm
Treatment 3 = 280 ppm

Carolyn and Brent went to Taylor and fertilized eggs for the experiment. 21 females and 20 males were used in the fertilization. 80,000 eggs were aliquoted to each jar for transport (each jar would then be emptied into the larger larval chambers at NWFSC) and the eggs were fertilized in the jars with pooled sperm. We began putting the fertilized eggs into the chambers containing treatment water around 5 pm (treatment pCO2= 280 ppm, 400 ppm 1000 ppm). The system is being kept at 14C. Fertilized eggs in the larval chambers were left static overnight so that the larvae could hatch.
2 jars (~80,000) fertilized eggs were strained on 20 um mesh and stored at -20C for pop gen.

Ceramide: sequencing
Made 1% agarose plate (100 mL 1x modified TAE, 1 g agarose, 10 uL EtBr). Loaded 25 uL of PCR product into wells and used Bioline's Hyperladder. Ran for ~1 hour at 100V. Cut out gel bands from first 4 lanes. The contamination seen in the Sptlc1 is the same size as the desired product, so it should not adversely affect sequencing efforts. A new bottle of sterilized nanopure water was started yesterday - the new and old water in the different negative controls refers to this bottle ("new") and the bottle that had previously been in use ("old").
Ceramide: qPCR vibrio exposure
To confirm contamination of qPCR primer stocks for 3KDSR, did a cPCR following the qPCR thermal profile: 95C 10 min; 40x 95C 15s, 55C 15s, 72C 30s; 95C 10 min; 72C 10 min. The new bottle of sterilized water was used. The 10 uM working stocks for 3KDSR qPCR made 4.26 were used as well as the qPCR primers for acid ceramidase, which have never showed signs of contamination. Ran PCR products on a 1% agarose gel at 120V for 30 min. The primer stocks for 3KDSR are contaminated as evidenced by the amplification of the correct product size in the negative controls (which is not seen for acid ceramidase). Will order new primer stocks.
C. gigas larvae: OA & Vt
At 10 am (~24 hours post-inoculation) counted live vs. dead in the welled plates. There was differential mortality between the treatments. At ~2:30 pm, sampled all the jars in the experiment (vibrio exposure control and 10^2-10^6). Filtered entire 200 mL through a 30 um mesh screen and rinsed out jars with sterile seawater. Pipetted all larvae condensed in one corner of the screen into a screw cap tube. Flash froze in a mixture of dry ice and EtOH. Transferred tubes to the -80C box O.orca archived tissue from NWFSC.

C. gigas larvae: OA & Vt
Put ~2000 larvae in each jar and dosed with Vt (between 10:30 and 11:30 am). Also aliquoted 40 larvae into welled plates and added appropriate pCO2 seawater to bring volume to 4 mL. Larvae in plates were also dosed with Vt.
Elene measured pH in each of the treatments using the spec. There wasn't much different between the treatments and the lowest pH was 8.09. Terminated the 2000 ppm and 840 ppm experiments, kept ambient to do LD50 with just Vt. Set up sterilized seawater bubbling with CO2 at 750 and 2000 ppm overnight to begin LD50s tomorrow.
Ceramide: qPCR vibrio exposure
Repeated qPCR of 3KDSR from 4.22. Used new nanopure water for everything. Bleached bench and got new mat. Made new working primer stocks. Used a new plate and new immomix.
NTCs still had contamination.
Ceramide: sequencing
Designed new primer to capture more of the 3' end of 3KDSR (Cg_3KDSRseq_R2). Also need to try to get missing middle 26 bp for Sptlc1. Made pooled cDNA for controls and 3-hour post exposure C. gigas gill samples. Did PCR on pooled samples with new 3KDSR reverse primer and original forward primer and with Sptlc1 primers (12.5 uL Apex, 8.5 uL water, 0.5 uL each primer, 3 uL cDNA; GENPCR in Emma's directory).

Ceramide: qPCR vibrio exposure
Box plot includes previous data for loci EF1a, Sptlc1, acid ceramidase, and acid sphingomyelinase. 3KDSR and ceramide glucosyltransferase are new based on April 22's qPCRs. The expression difference between control and exposed for 3KDSR is significant; the different is not significant for Cmglctrans (see zoomed in graph below). Significance is based on t-tests in R.
C. gigas larvae: OA & Vt
Set up system in basement to do a LD50 with 3 levels of CO2 (ambient, 840 ppm, and 2000 ppm) and 6 concentrations of V. tubiashii (control, 10^2 CFU through 10^6 CFU). There are 2 replicate jars for each Vt concentration within each pCO2 for a total of 12 jars in each pCO2. Each jar holds 200 mL of sterilized filtered seawater. The jars were placed in airtight boxes with an inlet for the correct pCO2 and an outlet attached to tubing with the other end in water so that atmospheric air does not enter the box (see pictures below). At ~3:30 pm the boxes were sealed and the air was turned on so that the water in each jar will equilibrate to the correct pCO2. Also ~200 mL of water in a beaker was placed in each box that will serve as water in the plates to be used for counting.

Ceramide: qPCR vibrio exposure
qPCR of 3KDSR and ceramide glucosyltransferase (CgT) of vibrio-exposed adult C.gigas gill tissue, 3 hours post-exposure. PCRs are of all 16 samples, 8 control and 8 exposed, in duplicate. Thermalcycler protocol was 3StepAmp+Melt_SJW.
Results: 3KDSR was contaminated (high amplification of NTCs), CgT was not. Both primer pairs amplified only one product (one melt curve).
Made new working stocks of 3KDSR (10 uM) and did a qPCR of all samples in duplicate.
Results: Still slight amplification in the NTCs but it comes up much later than the other samples. Only one melt curve apparent at 75-75.5.

Took calcification data from the samples taken April 18. Some notes of concern: 1. a good number of mortalities were empty shells, meaning that the larval body had dissipated or been eaten - if uncalcified larvae suffered a similar fate they would be underrepresented in the counts. 2. the ethanol added to make the larvae drop can make cells lyse, which makes distinguishing unshelled larval bodies from debris difficult.

Serine palmitoyltransferase
As mentioned below (April 7, 2011), the forward and reverse sequences for Sptlc1 do not overlap. There is a 26 bp gap between the two sequences. I generated consensus sequences from the contigs for the forward and reverse fragments (n=3 for each) and then assembled them to the original EST (which is made up of FQ665912 and 454 ESTs).
Reverse complemented the consensus sequence and translated starting from the first sequence ATGTAT ( TAT = amino acid Y) based on how the translation of the original EST aligned with homologous sequences.

Yesterday, Carolyn picked up diploid C. gigas larvae that were fertilized on 4/11 at about noon. They were brought to NOAA and put in the system at 6 pm. There are 3 treatment pCO2 (280, 400, 1000 ppm) and 3 replicates per treatment. They are being held at 14C.
Starting around 9 am today, we began sampling each container (n=9) and Shallin took samples to determine the pH on the spec. Sampling involves the following:
1. Pour entire container through a 20 micron mesh sieve that is in a water bath (of the water you are pouring through). Rinse out the container with the correct treatment seawater 3x.
2. Rinse the larvae on the mesh into a 50 mL falcon tube and fill to 45 mL.
3. Invert the falcon tube gently 5x and take 3 aliquots of 30 uL (could be greater volume if larvae are less dense) and put in a welled plate. Which containers go in which wells is randomized.
5. Take 750 uL of water + larvae from the falcon tube and strain through mesh (should be >500 larvae). Remove larvae from mesh with a pipette and put in 2 mL screw cap vial and flash freeze.
4. Blind counts are done for number larvae dead, number alive but on bottom of well, total larvae (and then by subtraction, the number swimming), and calcification level (uncalcified, partially, or fully). Total larvae and calcification data are taken after the larvae have been dropped by EtOH. Calcification is determined using a polarized lens on the inverted scope. Mortality is verified at 40x.
No calcification data were taken today because the larvae were still too young to be calcified. The larvae are so small that there are probably not enough frozen for qPCR.
Tomorrow, feeding will begin for all the larvae.

Generated consensus sequence from alignment in Geneious. Most of the beginning and end of the sequence are Ns, the start codon (ATG) is at bp 89 and the stop codon (TAA) ends at bp 1258. Translated consensus nucleotide sequence into a protein sequence and exported FASTAs of C. gigas protein with protein sequences from GenBank for C. elegans, D. rerio, H. sapiens, and R. norvegicus. Aligned all sequences in Clustal and imported the protein alignment back into Geneious. Using the PHYML plug-in, generated a phylogenetic tree using the JTT algorithm, 100 bootstraps, 0 invariable sites, and 1 substitution rate category.
Ceramide glucosyltransferase
Same as for ACMase. The reverse complement of the sequence was used to generate the protein sequence. On the reverse complement, the ATG was 38bp after then Ns. The alignment was performed with sequences of CgT for H. sapiens, X. tropicalis, and C. elegans.
3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase
Same as above. The start codon was at bp 112 in the consensus sequence. Alignment was done with sequences from H. sapiens and D. melanogaster.

Ceramide sequencing: alignment and verification
Serine palmitoyltransferase (Sptlc1)
Got back good quality sequence for 3 forward and 3 reverse. There are a few potential SNPs in the sequences. The fragments sequenced with the forward primer assemble together, as do the fragments sequenced with the reverse primer. When these 2 contigs are aligned with the original contig based on ESTs, there are ~25 bp missing between the two sequenced fragments.
Ceramide glucosyltransferase
Got back good quality sequence for 2 forward and 3 reverse fragments. All fragments assembled together to form a full sequence that assembles with the original (reversed) EST.
Acid ceramidase (ACMase)
Got back good quality sequence for 4 forward and 4 reverse fragments. All fragments assembled together and aligned with the original EST used to design the primers.
3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase (3KDSR)
Got back good quality sequence for 8 forward and 7 reverse fragments. All fragments assembled together and aligned with the original contig used to design the primers.

C.gigas Larvae Vibrio exposure
Almost all larvae were dead in all treatments (including control), probably due to ciliates which had proliferated overnight.
March 30, 2011
C.gigas Larvae Vibrio exposure
Counted larvae to determine mortality. Only counted larvae on the bottom of the well. On the last day of the experiment we will count total larvae in each well by dropping them with EtOH and then retroactively determine the number of swimming larvae for previous days. Dead vs. live larvae were determined at 40x magnification.

C. gigas Larvae Vibrio exposure
Elene got 2 week-old larvae from the hatchery yesterday. This morning, we aliquoted ~40 larvae into wells of tissue culture plates and made sure the volumes in each well were at 4 mL. Different plates were inoculated with 10^3, 10^4, 10^5, 10^6, 10^7, or no V. tubiashii (control) that Elene had grown over the weekend. Plates were left on the benchtop to incubate over night.

Ceramide sequencing: cloning
SR cloned 4 PCR products for acid ceramidase and 4 for ceramide glucosyltransferase. I did the plasma minipreps today following the same protocol outlined March 8, 2011 except the spinning for 13,000xg was actually done at 13,000 rpm. The DNA and primer plates for sequencing were updated with the new plasmids and primers.
March 18, 2011
Ceramide sequencing: cloning
Pooled equal volumes of control oyster gill tissue at the 3 hour time point for the PCR. Each PCR reaction had 12.5 uL Apex, 8.5 uL water, 0.5 uL each primer, and 3 uL cDNA. Primers used were ceramide glucosyltransferase and acid ceramidase (also NTCs). Ran on program GENPCR (Emma directory).
Made 1.2% agarose gel (50 uL 1xTAE, 0.6 g agar, 5 uL EtBr). Loaded 5 uL of Bioline's Hyperladder and 10 uL PCR product and ran 100 V for ~30 min.
Observed band sizes corresponded to expected sizes: 1080 bp for ceramide glucosyltransferase and 1165 bp for acid ceramidase. Cut out bands and stored at -20 C in cDNA III box.
March 9, 2011
Ceramide sequencing: cloning
Checked the colonies from the re-cloning started on 3.7.2011 and there were not many so let them grow until today. Still very few colonies. Only one dark blue colony grew on the plates streaked with the Bioline cells. Only dark blue colonies on the TOPO cell plates. Fail :(
Ceramide: tissue distribution
Below are the graphs of the tissue distribution of gene expression for the genes identified in the ceramide pathway. qPCRs were done on 3.8.11 (ASMase), 12.14.10 (Sptlc1), and 3.1.11 (3KDSR, CMglctrans, ACMase). All data were analyzed in PCR miner and are averages across duplicate Cts. Expression values are normalized to EF1a (qPCR 11.30.10).
March 8, 2011
Ceramide sequencing: cloning
Qiagen miniprep for Sptlc1 and 3-KDSR. Clones grew well in LB+kan overnight - all tubes were cloudy so did minipreps of all 11 samples.
Put 1.5 mL of LB mixture in an eppie tube, spun at max speed for 2 minutes, decanted supernatant, added 1.5 mL more and repeated.
Added 250 uL P1 buffer to pellet and vortexed to resuspend.
Added 250 uL P2 and inverted 4 times.
Added 350 uL N3 and inverted 4 times immediately. Spun at 13,000xg (should have been rpm) for 10 minutes.
Put supernatant in Qiagen column and spun at 13,000xg for 1 minute.
Added 750 uL of PE buffer to column, spun at max speed 1 minute. Removed flow-through and spun again at max speed. Put column in new eppie tube.
Added 30 uL EB buffer to column, incubated at RT 1 minute, spun down at max speed 1 min.
Stored eluted cDNA at -20C.
Ceramide: qPCR
qPCR for tissue distribution of acid sphingomyelinase (I don't believe the results from the previous qPCR since ASMase is expressed in gill tissue as evidenced by the PCRs done for vibrio exposure).
Results: NTCs are clean. Distribution was the same as seen previously: high expression in the digestive gland and very low in other tissues. See 3.9.2011 for graph.
March 7, 2011
Ceramide sequencing: cloning
All colonies grew on gridded plates over the weekend. Two of the no-template controls in the PCR evaporated (for acid ceramidase and 3-KDSR).
Made a 1.2% agarose gel (1.2 g agar, 100 mL 1xTAE, 10 uL EtBr) and loaded 10 uL of PCR product into wells. Ran at 100V for ~40 min.
The two primer pairs with colonies that amplified, Sptlc1 and 3-KDSR, had only one product and it is of correct size for both primers (see 3.3.2011). None of the light blue colonies amplified the correct product for any of the primer pairs. The two NTCs were clean. Filled sterilized glass tubes with sponge stoppers with 5 mL of 1XLB + 50 mg/mL Kanamyacin (made by MG 12.22.09). For each of the restreaked white colonies (Sptlc n=3; 3-KDSR n=8), touched a sterilized toothpick to the colony and then dropped it in a tube. Incubated the tubes at 37C, 250 rmp overnight.
Recloning of ACMase and Cm glucosyltransferase. Same protocol as 3.3.2011 (see for details) using the purified PCR bands from that day as template (verified presence of DNA in PCR product). Instead of using just One Shot TOP 10 competent cells (TOPO), doing a comparison with Bioline's CH3-Blue Chemically Competent cells.
March 4, 2011
Ceramide sequencing: cloning
7:30 am : only a few colonies have grown, mostly on the plates spread with 200 uL. Will let grow until this afternoon.
1: 30 pm : more colonies and larger, but still very few white colonies.
Gridded LB+kan plates to restreak picked colonies. Picked colonies (details below) with sterile plastic wand and put wand tip in 50 uL of aliquoted master mix (25 uL Apex, 23 uL water, 1 uL each primer). PCR CLNY program on SBR directory: 94C 8 min; 40x 94C, 45s, 50C 1 min, 72C 1 min 30s; 72C, 10 min. Left restreaked plates on benchtop to incubate over the weekend.
Ceramide glucosyltransferase: 3 light blue colonies, 1 dark blue
Sptlc1: 3 white colonies, 5 light blue, 1 dark blue
acid ceramidase: 1 light blue, 1 dark blue
3-KDSR: 7 white colonies, 1 dark blue
March 3, 2011
Ceramide sequencing: cloning
Made LB for plates: 100 mL 5x LB (lab stock) + 400 mL nanopure water + 7.5 g Bacto Agar in a large flask. Swirled to mix and covered with foil. Autoclaved 20 min at 121C (sterilization only). Let cool on bench until cool enough to touch for ~30s. Added 500 uL of Kanamyacin (50 mg/uL), swirled to mix and filled plates. Covered plates and let cool on bench until set. Stored at 4C in plastic sleeve.
PCR for sequencing. Made two pools of cDNA, control and vibrio exposed, from 3 hour time point (gill tissue). 3 uL of each sample (n=8) went into each pool. Made master mixes for primers of full-length gene product for acid sphingomyelinase, 3-ketodihydrosphingosine, acid ceramidase, serine palmitoyltransferase 1, and ceramide glucosyltransferase. Master mixes included (per reaction) 12.5 uL Apex mix, 8.5 uL water, 0.5 uL of each primer, and 3 uL of cDNA. Thermocycler conditions (GENPCR in Emma's directory) are 1. 95C, 10 min, 2. 95C, 30s, 3. 55C, 30s, 4. 72C, 30s (back to 2 x39), 5. 72C, 10 min.
Ran 10 uL of PCR products on 2% agarose gel (100 mL 1xTAE, 2 g agarose, 10 uL EtBr) at 100 V for ~45 minutes. The vibrio exposure and negative control samples amplified with ceramide glucosyltransferase primers evaporated a bit and were reconstituted with 10 uL of nanopure water and loaded on gel.
Acid sphingomyelinase primers did not amplify a product. All other product sizes match up well with expected sizes.
Cut out bands for each of the amplified control PCRs. Spun them down in millipore ultrafree tubes at 5,000xg for 10 minutes (NB: do not use 2% gels in the future because they do not easily go through the funnel of the tubes.) In a strip tube put 2 uL of PCR product, 0.5 uL of salt soln (TOPO kit), and 0.5 uL vector (TOPO). Incubated at 22C for 10 min on thermocycler and then put on ice. Thawed competent cells on ice while incubation at 22C. Added 2 uL of PCR mix to competent cells, swirling while adding. Put on ice for 10 minutes, then heat shocked at 42C for 30s, then on ice for 2 min. Added 250 uL of room temp SOC in hood, rolling tubes on side to coat. Taped tubes on side in shaker at 37C, 225 rpm for 1 hour.
Put 8 LB+kan plates at room temp. Spread plates with 80 uL of XGAL (20 mg/mL) and dried in oven at 37C. Spread 2 plates for each gene - one with 50 uL of transformed cells and one with 200 uL. Let dry with lids cracked at 37C and then incubated overnight upside down.

Ceramide qPCR
qPCR of tissue distribution in mantle, muscle, digestive gland, and gill (samples extracted 10.27.10) using primers for acid ceramidase, ceramide glucosyltransferase, and 2-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase in duplicate. Also qPCR of control and vibrio-exposed 3 hour time point gill samples using acid sphingomyelinase primers (duplicate). Thermalcycler protocol was 3StepAmp+Melt_SJW.
Results: Single melt curves for each gene and NTCs were clean. Data were analyzed in qPCR miner. Gene efficiencies were good except ceramide glucosyltransferase had an average 69.6% efficiency. Others were 3KDSR 86.1%, ceramidase 90.1%, and sphingomyelinase 89.9%. For sample E8 (SMase) one of the replicates was wonky and so the expression value was thrown off and the sample was not included in the analyses. There is no significant difference in expression for acid sphingomyelinase between control and vibrio-exposed oyster gill at 3 hours post exposure. The outliers for both control (C5) and exposed (E6) had consistent Ct values across both PCR replicates and are most likely true expression values.
Environmental monitoring
Retrieved PSDs from Discovery Bay at 9 pm, tide height = 0'6". Samplers were found easily by following rope to which the cinder block was attached. Both samplers were still free from sediment and submerged. After retrieval, PSDs were stored at -20C.
February 16, 2011
Environmental monitoring
Deployed 2 PSDs at site described below at 8:40 pm, low tide height -1'1".
February 15, 2011
Environmental monitoring
Went to Discovery Park to find a good spot for PSD deployment. The treatment plant touches both North and South beaches. North Beach has calmer water and seems to be less trafficked by park users. There is a small beach before the main beach that looks to be a good place for deployment. The cinder block with 2 attached POCIS will be tied to a rope that is anchored at the shore line near some rocks (see schematic below). PSDs have been mounted in vegetable steamers for deployment.
Map of Discovery Park and deployment site.

Environmental monitoring
Got 2 PSDs (POCIS) from Irv Schultz. Brought back to Seattle and stored at -20C.
Went to assess Fort Lewis site yesterday. The site is on the military base and there are a few signs that say it is closed after dark as well as a number of gates that could potentially be closed. Irv says that the gates have not been closed when he is there at night, but I have decided it's risky and on the wrong side of legal so I am choosing another site.
The
West Point Treatment Plant is the largest wastewater treatment plant in King County (circled in pink below).
The outfall from the plant is ~3000 ft offshore and 300 ft deep.
The plant is located in Discovery Park. I'm going out this afternoon to look around and see how accessible the shoreline near the plant is for deploying PSDs. There are low tides Tues, Wed, and Thurs nights this week.

Vibrio exposure/ceramide: qPCR
qPCR using primers acid ceramidase and 3-KDSR. For ACMase, PCR'd all 3 hour gill samples, control and exposed, in duplicate. For both primer pairs, PCR'd control and exposed from 1 hr time point (n=4).
Results:
Acid ceramidase, all samples - significantly different expression between control and exposed (p=0.045)
Acid ceramidase and 3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase, 1 hour timepoint n=4 for exposed and control - no significant differences in expression at this time point.
February 8, 2011
Vibrio exposure/ceramide: qPCR
qPCR using new primers, 3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase, ceramide glucosyltransferase, and acid ceramidase on gill tissues from vibrio exposed and control oysters (n=4 for each treatment with each primer pair). 1 uL of cDNA and 24 uL of master mix were used for each reaction.
Results: All primers amplified product and had one melt curve. All NTCs were clean. A number of the samples for ceramide glucosyltransferase came up very late and as a result 1 control and 2 exposed were set to 0 expression level for the analysis. The other Cts were >42 and may not be trustworthy, although they were analyzed in Miner. If these primers are to be continued they need to be optimized.
None of the differences between treatments were significant (n=4 for control and vibrio exposed) although there is a trend for upregulation of these genes in vibrio exposure, except for ceramide glucosyltransferase.
February 7, 2011
Vibrio exposure: qPCR
Results from qPCR 2.3.2011: All samples amplified and NTCs were clean. Analyzed data in qPCR miner and calculated expression values for each sample using equation 1=1/(1+AER)^Ct. Calculated normalized expression for Sptlc1. Box plot of expression values below. Blue boxes are for 1 hour time points and green boxes are for 3 hour. There is no difference between treatments at any time point, but there is a trend for increased expression of Sptlc1 in the exposed group at 3 hours.
Ceramide: new primers
Received primers described 2.2.11. Made new TE buffer pH 8.5 as described 1.11.10. Reconstituted all primers to 100 uM.
Vibrio exposure/Ceramide: qPCR
qPCR using EF1a and Sptlc1 primers on gill samples from vibrio exposure experiment, 3 hour time point. All sampled qPCR'd in duplicate.
Results: calculated expression values as described above. Normalized expression of Sptlc1 is barely insignificant for increased expression in vibrio exposed versus control.
February 3, 2011
Vibrio exposure: qPCR
Diluted all cDNA 4x (72 uL water + 24 uL cDNA). Using EF1a (SR ID 309) and Sptlc1 primers for samples C1-4 1 hour, E1-4 1 hour, C1-4 3 hours, and E1-4 3 hours.
February 2, 2011
Vibrio exposure: reverse transcription
qPCR from 1.31.2011 showed possible (although very little) gDNA contamination in samples: Gill C2 1 hour, gill E2 1h, gill E2 3h, muscle C2, mantle C1.
Reverse transcribed all gill samples, control and exposed, from 1 and 3 hr time points (n=32). To 14 uL of DNased RNA (~1 ug) added 0.5 uL oligo dT primers and 3.75 uL of water. Incubated at 70C for 5 minutes. Put rxn on ice for a few minutes then added to each well: 5 uL MMLV RT buffer, 1.25 uL dNTPs, 0.5 uL MMLV reverse transcriptase. Incubated at 42C for 1 hour, heat deactivation 95C for 3 minutes. Stored cDNA in Emma's cDNA Box III.
Vibrio exposure: qPCR
Made pooled samples of control and exposed gill cDNA (across 1 and 3 hour time points, n=16 in each pool). 1 uL from each sample was put in each pool. qPCR was done using EF1 and Sptlc1 primers on the pooled cDNA at full concentration and diluted 2x, 4x, and 10x from control and exposed samples for each primer pair.
Results: All dilution factors amplified for both genes, although EF1a had much lower Ct than Sptlc1 (see table below). A 4x dilution will probably work well for these samples and the genes we are testing. PCR miner successfully analyzed all the data.
Environmental monitoring
Talked to Irv Schultz about pilot study to test PSDs in salt water (again) and possibly generate preliminary data for a grant. The plan is to pick 1 or 2 sites, between which 3 PSDs will be divided. The PSDs will be put out for ~3 weeks and upon retrieval, we will also trap a few crabs to look at bioaccumulation in the hepatopancreas. The possible sites are:
1. Fort Lewis: sewage discharge is near Solo Point, Take exit for base and go west to solo point road and enter the fort, the road will dead end at the park. About 1/4 mile south is a pipe from the treatment plant that discharges waste ~100 ft below the surface offshore. Need a pretty low tide to deploy PSDs. The first negative tide for February is the 15th (see
tides).
2. Bremerton naval base: can approach outfall from the Bremerton ferry dock.
3. a marina
4. Myrtle Edwards Park (my suggestion) is near a
combined sewer overflow.
Ceramide: in silico search for full-length sequences
Continued from 1.31.2011
I took detailed notes on everything that I did but the wiki didn't save them. I will paraphrase the work and my findings below. The form of the methods used was similar to those described in detail on 1.31.2011.
Neutral sphingomyelinase
Assembled novel 454 DB hits with previously found ESTs. 2 contigs were made, one with 40 reads and one with 6. The one with 40 blasts to NSMase, the one with 6 does not have a match in SwissProt. The new contig is still missing coding sequence on the 5' end.
3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase
Through adding 454 sequence data, the entire coding sequence was assembled for this gene.
Ceramide synthase (Lass6)
Through assembly of C. gigas EST with 454 sequences, found start codon (entire 5' end) but still missing ~18 amino acid residues from the 3' end of the sequence.
Designed primers for sequencing and qPCR of 3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase (SR ID for sequencing primers: 1188 & 1189; for qPCR: 1186 & 1187), ceramide glucosyltransferase (sequencing SR ID: 1178 & 1179, qPCR: 1180 & 1181), and acid ceramidase (sequencing: 1182 & 1183, qPCR: 1184 & 1185).
January 31, 2011
Vibrio exposure
qPCR with 18s primers of DNAsed RNA from SJW for adult C. gigas 1 and 3 hr post-vibrio exposure.
Ceramide: in silico search for full-length sequences
Ceramide glucosyltransferase
Created a custom database in geneious with the 6-day-old larval transcriptome data from 454 sequencing (now called "454 DB"). Did megablast of longest EST from ceramide glucosyltransferase (the other ESTs lay within the long one). Got 6 454 ESTs that matched to original, assembled all and extracted consensus sequence. blastx of consensus EST against swissprot database Xenopus tropicalis ceramide glucosyltransferase (
Q5BL38.1), e = 2e-53 and protein coding starts before bp 98 on C. gigas EST query. Through protein alignment, found start codon at bp 35 of contig, so translated from bp 35 to get final protein coding sequence for C. gigas. blastp returns top hit of ceramide glucosyltransferase
(gene structure).
Acid ceramidase
blasted (megablast) EST AM856720.1 against 454 DB and returned a lot of ESTs. The first 5 top returns did not add significantly to the original ESTs found 1.29.2011. Did megablast of contig of original 4 ESTs found on GenBank against 454 DB but the top 5 hits did not extend the sequence at all.
blastx of original contig (contig 1597 in geneious) on NCBI. Top hit was rat acid ceramidase (
Q6P7S1.1) and protein coding in the alignment began at bp 69. Extending to start codon at bp 15 looks like it encompasses the entire protein sequence.
Neutral sphingomyelinase
454DB megablast of HS230283.1 returned a lot of hits. Assembly with the top 5 extends the sequence a little in the 3' direction. Assembly with the top 10 extends the original sequence in both directions. Extract the consensus and blastx - top hit is C. elegans neutral sphingomyelinase (
O45870.2, e=5e-59) with protein coding in the alignment starting at bp 10. there is no start codon at or before 10 bp and alignment of the amino acid sequences shows that there may be ~80 aa residues (>200 bp) missing from the C. gigas sequence on the 5' end.
Assembled all the megablast return (n=22 + original EST) and generated consensus sequence. Did megablast of consensus
January 29, 2011
Ceramide: in silico search for full-length sequences
Continuation of work from 1/28/2011 to find available full-length cDNA for the constituents of the ceramide pathway.
Ceramide glucosyltransferase/glucosylceramide synthase: makes glucosylceramide from ceramide
Homologene number 37763. H. sapiens and C. elegans (cgt-1) align with 48% identity - pretty good.
blastn of C. elegans mRNA (
NM_074570.3) against C. gigas nucleotides and ESTs yielded no results.
tblastn of C. elegans protein ( NP_506971.2) against C. gigas ESTs returned top hit HS163638.1 (mixed adult tissues). E value was 5e-50 and EST covers only part of protein sequence. Protein coding in alignment begins at bp 47 of C. gigas EST, so translated the sequence and did pblast. top hit is xenopus ceramide glucosyltransferase (Q5BL38.1), e=3e-58, with very good coverage.
blastn of C. gigas EST HS163638.1 against other C. gigas ESTs to see if mRNA can be extended at all. Returned 2 more ESTs - FP003616.1 and FP009071.1. Neither EST adds any length to the original.
Ceramide kinase: makes ceramide 1-P from ceramide
Homologene 11247
Aligned protein sequences: C. elegans shows poor identity (27%) with H. sapiens; D. melanogaster has better identity (32%) and D. rerio and H. sapiens share 46% identity.
blastn of D. rerio mRNA (NM_001105586.1) against C. gigas nucleotides and ESTs yields no results.
tblastn of D. rerio protein (NP_001099056.1) against C. gigas ESTs brings back HS203383.1 (e=4e-15) but coverage is poor. tblastn with D. melanogaster protein sequence similarly returns FQ661838.1 (e=3e-24), but coverage is poor. These 2 ESTs do not form a contig.
Glucosylceramidase(/cerebrosidase?)
homologene 10859
Alignment of C. elegans and H. sapiens proteins shows ~37% identity between the two. D. melanogaster and H. sapiens share 43% identity.
blastn of D. melanogaster mRNA (NM_176041.1) against C. gigas nucleotide and ESTs returns no results.
tblastn of D. melanogaster protein (NP_788055.2) against C. gigas ESTs returns CU996255.1, but it only covers the last 200 bp of the protein sequence (e=7e-69). not going to pursue this one further
Acid ceramidase: makes ceramide from sphingosine
homologene 10504
H. sapiens and C. elegans protein sequences share 38% identity. H. sapiens and D. rerio share 59%.
blastn of C. elegans mRNA (NM_060772.7) against C. gigas nucleotide and ESTs returns no results.
tblastn of C. elegans protein (NP_493173.1) against C. gigas ESTs returns top hit AM854720.1 (e=2e-72) with excellent coverage of the protein sequence.
Protein coding on the alignment begins at bp 4 of the C. gigas EST. Translated sequence and did blastp. Returned acid ceramidase from Pan troglodytes (A5A6P2.1), e = 1e-89.
blastn of C. gigas EST AM854720.1 against other C. gigas ESTs returned 5 EST hits: HS193380.1 (e=0), FP005089.1 (4e-175), HS193379.1 (1e-135), HS210738.1 (1e-119), CU682703.1 (7e-73). The first 3 hits all assemble to add more length to the original EST.
Extracted the consensus sequence and did blastx. Top hit is human acid ceramidase (e=4e-110) with good coverage. Translated sequence beginning at bp 75 and did blastp. Top hit was H. sapiens acid ceramidase (Q13510.5, e = 1e-100).
blastn of consensus EST against other C. gigas ESTs. Along with previous returns for blasts of this sequence, 2 novel ESTs were retrieved: CU682444.1 (e=0) and AM854478.1 (2e-46). Assembled with contig but AM854478.1 did not assemble and CU682444.1 only added a few bp.
Neutral sphingomyelinase
homologene 2652
H. sapiens and A. gambiae share 40% identity.
blastn of A. gambiae mRNA (XM_310670.4) against C. gigas nucleotide and ESTs yielded no results.
tblastn of A. gambiae protein (XP_310670.4) against C. gigas ESTs returned mixed adult tissue HS222394.1 (e=8e-74) with patchy coverage. Second hit HS230740.1 has slightly more complete coverage of the protein and an equally strong e-value (2e-70), so will use that sequence for further searches. Coding in the protein alignment begins at bp 13. Translated sequence and did blastp. This sequence corresponds to factor-associated with neutral sphingomyelinase activation, so start over with actual enzyme.
homologene 31129
H. sapiens and C. elegans proteins align with 43% identity.
blastn of C. elegans mRNA (NM_060768.3) against C. gigas nucleotides and ESTs
tlbastn of C. elegans protein (NP_493169.2) returned a top hit HS230283.1 (e=2e-46) with OK coverage. Protein coding in the alignment begins at bp 13, so translated mRNA and did blastp of protein sequence. Top hit is C. elegans putative NSMase (O45870.2, e=2e-46)
blastn of C. gigas EST HS230283.1 against other gigas ESTs returns 4 ESTs: AM864642.1 (e=7e-142), AM863597.1 (1e-135), HS230284.1 (1e-79), FP002080.1 (7e-8). All 4 ESTs added significant length to original.
Extracted consensus sequence and did blastx. Top hit is D. melanogaster putative NSMase (Q9VZS6.2, e=3e-62). The protein corresponds to the first ~900 bp of the C. gigas contig. Translated bp 34-879 of contig (coding sequence that corresponds to Dmel protein). blastp of this translated sequence also returns putative NSMase.
blastn of trimmed contig against C. gigas ESTs does not return any novel ESTs.
3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase
homologene 1539
H. sapiens and D. melanogaster share 35% identity.
blastn of D. melanogaster mRNA (NM_143106.2) against C. gigas nucleotides and ESTs returned nothing.
tblastn of Dmel protein (NP_651363.1 ) against C. gigas ESTs returned 3 overlapping ESTs that span almost the entire length of the protein: AM853669.1 (e=9e-46), AM863021.1 (5e-30), AM857772.1 (4e-15). Only the first 2 assembled into a contig.
Extracted the consensus sequence (950 bp) and did blastx. Top hit is H. sapiens 3-KDSR (1e-84). Protein coding in the alignment starts at contig bp 134 and blastp of this translated segment returns 3-KDSR. blastn of the trimmed contig against other C. gigas ESTs does not return any novel sequences.

Ceramide pathway protein phylogeny
Based on Steven's alignments, found full protein coding sequence for sptlc1 in C. gigas.
Search for full coding region in
Acid Sphingomyelinase
Human acid sphingomyelinase isoform 1 (SMPD1) accession number is NP_000534.3, homologene 457
aligned sequence with C. elegans (isoforms 1 and 2), C. familiaris, D. melanogaster and A. gambiae - there is a lot of homology between the vertebrates H. sapiens and C. familiaris, but less homology between the invertebrates and between verts and inverts.
blastn searches using C.elegans mRNA sequence for isoform 1 (NM_063014.5) of C. gigas nucleotide and EST sequences on GenBank yielded no returns.
tblastn of C. elegans protein sequence for isoform 1 (NP_495415.2) came up with C. gigas hits in the EST database (not nucleotide). The top hit was HS200764.1 (e=2e-45), but there was poor coverage of the sequence.
tblastx returned the same sequence as tblastn (e=9-50) but also with poor sequence coverage.
tblastn using H. sapiens protein sequence of the C. gigas ESTs also returned HS200764.1 (e=9e-72) with slightly better coverage, but still not complete.
Contigs from 454 sequencing data that matched to SMase are 21728 and 37057. blastx of both match to SMase 3b in M. musculus (P5824.1, e=8e-56) and human (Q92485.2, e=1e-75), respectively. Both contigs were trimmed and translated to match their top blast hits.
Homologene for SMase 3b is 8708. Protein sequences for C. elegans and H. sapiens show only 34% identity. tblastn of C. gigas ESTs with the C.elegans protein sequence returns HS199021.1, but the coverage isn't very good (e=5e-24). Putative SMase 3b Xenopus protein sequence is also in homologene (XP_002939398.1). tblastn of C. gigas ESTs returns the same EST as C. elegans but with much better coverage (e=1e-42).
megablast of HS199021.1 returns no other C. gigas EST hits.
Find a better gene....
Ceramide synthase 6 (Lass6) is highly conserved across taxa. Homologene #72228. H. sapiens and D. rerio sequences share 89% identity; Hsap, Drer and P. marinus (lamprey) share 65% homology. (P. marinus sequence is translated from an embryo EST starting at bp 6, accession number EG337115.1). blastn of D. rerio mRNA (XM_688191.3) against C. gigas nucleotides and ESTs yields no results. tblastn of D. rerio protein against C. gigas ESTs returns a number of hits, the top one being HS185280.1 (e=3e-55). According to the alignment, the coding regions overlap at C. gigas bp 58. pblast of this translated sequence returns as a top hit Lass6 (Q8C172.1, e=2e-65). blastn of the C.gigas EST returns 15 other C. gigas ESTs, but they all overlap completely and are of the same origin - mixed adult tissue libraries.
January 27, 2011
Ceramide pathway protein phylogeny
translated sptlc1 sequence to a stop codon in Geneious. This ends up being the translation of the reverse compliment of bp 1036-1821. the top pblast hit is serine plamitoyltransferase (1e-84).
January 25, 2011
Ceramide pathway protein phylogeny
Both the SMase and Sptlc1 protein sequences are missing some important amino acid residues that would be necessary for making a complete comparison with homologous proteins. SR found 5 C. gigas SMase sequences that align with the original EST. I did the alignment in Geneious and did a tblastx of the consensus sequence. The 3rd hit was D. rerio acid SMase 3b-like (e=6e-75). The alignment of our C. gigas sequence with the D. rerio started at bp 398, so I trimmed the consensus sequence and translated it in Geneious. I then did a pblast with the SwissProt db of this protein sequence, which returned protein information for acid SMase, the top hits being human, mouse, bovine, amoeba, and C. elegans acid SMase 3b-like. For information on protein structure see
here. I redid the protein alignment in Clustal (with the same protein sequences previously used) and remade a phylogenetic tree in Geneious.
A pblast of the translated protein of Sptlc1 described 1.19.2011 also returned protein information in NCBI, found
here.

Results: All amplified well and NTCs were clean.
January 20, 2011
Ceramide pathway protein phylogeny
Redid Sptlc1 tree with mRNA sequence translated in Geneious (same method as for SMase). Used all same protein sequences as previously described.
Ceramide qPCR: SMase
Received new SMase primers and reconstituted to 100 uM with TE buffer. qPCR using new SMase primers (CU995168_SMase) of adult C. gigas gill, mantle, muscle, and digestive gland.
Results: Amplified only in DG (amp plot beginning to come up very late for other tissues). No contamination in NTCs.
January 19, 2011
Ceramide pathway protein phylogeny (Sptlc1 and acid sphingomyelinase)
Sptlc1
EST sequence used to design primers overlaps completely with 454 contig 4852, which blasts with high confidence (e-value<10^-30) to Sptlc1 homologs. tlbastx of entire contig shows that the protein coding sequence begins ~bp 1000 (which still includes overlap with original Sptlc1 EST), so trimmed contig and new contig is comprised of bp1000-1879. Did tblastx of trimmed contig. Top hit was with Sptlc1 of Pong abelii (orangutan). Took translated protein sequence from this alignment (i.e. the one used by blast) and used it in alignment (this ends up being the reverse compliment of bp 1045-1821 translated). Other sequences taken from blast results are human (
BAF84235.1), mouse (BAE36210.1), frog (NP_001084963.1), zebrafish (P_001018307.1), sea urchin (XP_793539), drosophila (NP_725256.1), C. elegans (NP_001021979.1), sea anemone (XP_001628145.1), and hydra (XP_002161793.1). Sequences were all aligned in ClustalX and alignment was imported into Geneious. Using the PhyML plug-in James-Taylor-Thornton model and 100 bootstraps, a maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree was made for the sequences.
Spingomyelinase (SMase)
C. gigas SMase EST (on which primers were designed) was blasted in tblastx. Protein alignments began at bp 218. The EST was translated in Geneious starting at bp 218 and this protein sequence was entered into protein blast to find homologs. Sequences taken from blast results for alignment are human (EAX07722.1), mouse (NP_598649.1), frog (XP_002939398.1), zebrafish (XP_692822.2), sea urchin (XP_786766.1), drosophila (XP_0013161994.2), C. elegans (NP_505620.3), and a hemichordate (XP_002737983.1). Sequences were aligned and tree was made as described for Sptlc1. (SMase2 is the C.gigas sequence)
January 12, 2011
SMase primer design
EST named "sphingomyelinase" in geneious BLASTs to other sphingomyelinases with e-values around e-40. C. gigas EST accession is
CU995168. ORFs extend from ~25 to 743 bp on the reference and primers are designed to fall within this range (total sequence length is 780 bp). Forward sequence: TGGAGCATCGCTTACACAGC; Reverse sequence: ATCACACGGCATCACTTCGG. Product size is 159 bp starting at bp 467 and going to bp 625. See primer database for more details.

qPCR to test SMase primers
Did qPCR of 3 blank samples (water only) to find source of contamination seen in previous SMast NTCs on 12.10.2010. volumes of reagents per reaction were: 12.5 uL 2xImmomix, 10.5 uL water, 0.5 uL of each primer, 1.0 uL 50 uM SYTO13. Used qPCR protocol 3stepamp+melt_58annealing_ETS (45 cycles, 58C annealing).
Results: blank samples showed some amplification, but much less than what was seen in NTCs previously.
Made new 10 uM stocks of SMase primers. qPCR comparing old and new 10 uM primer stocks of NTCs (x3), NTCs without primer (x4), and cDNA template (x2). Used qPCR protocol 3stepamp+melt_58annealing_ETS.
Results: product amplification for old and new stock dilutions looked exactly like the NTCs with primers (NTCs without primers did not amplify at all). It appears that the primers do not work well and are probably amplifying primer dimer more than anything else. Need to redesign primers.

Ceramide & vibrio exposure: qPCR results
Link to results
Significant differences in expression between control and vibrio-exposed for both PE2 (p=0.00184) and Sptlc1 (p=0.009616).
Also significant differences in expression of Sptlc1 between adult C. gigas tissues:
gill-dig.gland: p=0.0032
muscle-dig.gland: p=0.0284
mantle-gill: p=0.0061
muscle-gill: p=0.00013
muscle-mantle: p=0.007
Vibrio exposure: qPCR of ceramide pathway and nutrition genes
qPCR on pooled control and VE samples; in duplicate with remaining ceramide primers (Fas, Lass5, NGF), Hsp70, Insulin receptor, and leptin receptor.
Results:
Link to results. Contamination in NTCs for Hsp70 so did not analyze those results.
Ceramide pathway: Lass5 and NGF are expressed differently between treatments (p=0.015 and p=1.7e-4, respectively). Fas is not differentially expressed, but there are also large standard deviations on the technical replicates.
Nutrition: Both insulin and leptin receptors are expressed at higher levels in the vibrio-exposed oysters (p=0.04 and p=7.4e-4).

Ceramide: qPCR
Tissue distribution of Sptlc1 (qPCR previously failed for this gene). Also for pooled control and vibrio exposed adult gill tissues (see below).
Vibrio exposure: qPCR
Pooled control (n=10) and vibrio exposed (n=10) samples reverse transcribed Dec 8, 2010 that had previously been PCR'd separately. 10 uL of each sample into each pool. qPCR done for EF1a, prostaglandin receptor (PE2), and Sptlc1.
December 13, 2010
Ceramide: Follow-up to gene verification (see Dec 6, 2010)
Gene: Lass5 (LAG1 homolog ceramide synthase)
SR returned glucose-regulated protein (Q16956). Alignment with C. gigas sequence for Lass5 (sequence used for primer design) had a lot of gaps - i.e. not a great alignment. Also a lot of gaps when aligned with original P. anubis sequence. Need to see what amplified product looks like before deciding to keep or discard.
Gene: MHC
SR returned myosin heavy chain...oops! wrong MHC? discard this one.
Gene: IL1B
SR returned serine/threonin-protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Probably not IL1B, but is involved in apoptosis, so will keep for now.
Gene: Sptlc1
verified as serine palmitoyltransferase 1. Enzyme that catalyzes one of the first steps in ceramide synthesis.
Gene: Sphingomyelinase (SMase)
Verified as acid sphingomyelinase-like phosphodiesterase 3b.
Gene: nerve growth factor B
SR returned cation transport regulator-like protein, or Chac1. Chac1 is a pro-apoptotic component of the unfolded protein response pathway and may mediate some pro-apoptotic effects.
Gene: Fas death receptor
SR returned TNF receptor superfamily, which plays similar role and is related to Fas receptors in ceramide-mediated apoptosis pathway.

Results (
Link): All negatives were clean and samples amplified.
NOAA OA larvae FAS expression by treatment. There is 0 expression at 2000 ppm. Differences in expression are not statistically significant in an ANOVA comparing expression in treatment. 2 pairwise differences are significant: 380 vs. 2000 ppm (p=0.0113) and 750 vs 2000 ppm (p=0.00145).
Vibrio exposure FAS expression by treatment. Differences in expression are not statistically significant.
Ceramide: Primer optimization
Sptlc1 and SMase
Gradient qPCR (protocol on Friedman machine = ETS_gradient 52-59). Pooled control and VE samples from Vibrio exposure - 14 uL of each - to run one column of control and one of VE for each primer.
Sptlc1 amplified very well (results
link). SMase will need qPCR protocol with more cycles, but also amplifies. Both primer sets yielded just one melt curve across annealing temps. 55C annealing temp should work fine with both primer sets, but higher temperatures (~58C) showed a narrower and stronger melt curve for SMase.
December 8, 2010
NOAA OA: reverse transcription
Reverse transcribed gDNA-free RNA samples (n=4). Put 2 ug of RNA (see table below "vibrio exposure") and brought volume up to 17.75 uL with H2O. Added 0.5 uL oligo dT primers and incubated at 70C for 5 min. Put on ice 5 min. Added 5 uL 5x MMLV buffer, 1.25 uL 10 mM dNTPs, and 0.5 uL reverse transcriptase (MMLV) to each sample. Incubated 42C for 1 hr + 95C for 3 min. Diluted samples (25uL) in 225 uL water and stored at -20 in Emma's cDNA Box III.
Vibrio exposure: reverse transcription
Dnased RNA samples from SJW. Followed same procedure as above. "VE" samples (n=10) were exposed to live Vibrio vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus for 24 hours at 2x10^11 CFU. There are also 10 controls, "C". SJW extracted RNA from gill tissues for all 20 animals on 2.15.2008 and Dnased 3.25.2008.

NOAA OA: qPCR results
Link to results
still evidence of contamination in 750E. There is also some contamination in a negative control, almost identical to the amount of gDNA contamination in the sample. Will rePCR all 3 samples this morning to check results.
All samples were clean in qPCR (run jointly with Vt-challenge samples).
Vt-challenge qPCR
Got samples of Vt-challenged adult C. gigas from SJW. Only a very small volume left in the samples, so decreased template volume to 0.5 uL per reaction. Did qPCR of 4 controls and 4 Vt-exposed oysters with FAS primers.
qPCR results didn't look very good and Ct values were very variable (probably due to pipetting variability of 0.5 uL of template). But primers worked on samples. There is more RNA of these samples and I will reverse transcribe it tomorrow.
Ceramide: sequencing
Ran 1.5% agarose gel of sampled PCR'd 12.6.10 (loaded each well with full 25uL volume of PCR product). Used 5 uL of Bioline's Hyperladder I. Cut out bands marked with a green "*" for sequencing. (For Sptlc1, just cut out top band)

OA - qPCR with 18s to test for gDNA contamination in RNA (see 12.2.10)
Vt - juvenile gill tissue from Vt challenge 3.16.10. Test 4 control & 4 challenged with Hsp70 and Lass5 (and EF1a to normalize). Not done in duplicate.
tissue distribution - test in duplicate of FAS, MHC_q, and Sptlc1. May have contaminated 2nd replicate of FAS gill with DG.
Results (
Link): gDNA contamination in OA samples 380A, 750E, and 2000A. Will need to DNase. Hsp70 and Lass5 amplified well in the Vt-challenged juvenile gill tissue. FAS and MHC also amplified well, but Sptlc1 did not amplify. All melt curves look good except for 2nd replicate of FAS DG (well 8C), which will be excluded from all analyses.
all pairwise comparisons between mantle and other tissues expression levels are significant (p=8.46e-4)
all pairwise comparisons of expression levels in the tissues are significant.
Hsp70 for C. gigas juvenile Vt-exposure: p=0.1908.
Lass5 for C. gigas juvenile Vt-exposure: p=0.6139.

Ceramide: Gene discovery
PCR for sequencing and prepped primer plate for sequencing. Only PCR'd select tissues that resulted in bands that were picked for sequencing last time.
Primer plate has 7 uL of water and 3 uL of 10uM primer per well.
Loaded entire PCR product onto 1.5% agarose gel. Row 1 is MHC_c gill through Lass 5 negative control. Row 2 is the remaining samples. 25uL of PCR product is in each well of row 1; row 2 wells were smaller so beginning with NGF negative control, 1/2 of each sample is in adjacent wells (tried to put all of NGF muscle in one well and it overflowed). Ran gel at 80V. Bands were cut out and stored at -20C.
NOAA OA: RNA extractions
Extracted RNA using TRI reagent (manufacturer's protocol) from 4 of the 12 samples taken Sept 14, 2010 at 48-hours post-fertilization in the different CO2 treatments. The samples extracted are C from 280ppm, A from 380 ppm, E from 750 ppm, and A from 2000 ppm. For homogenization step, thawed larvae were squished with pestle in 500 uL of TRI reagent 30 times then 500 uL more of TRI was added and samples were inverted a few times before incubation at room temp.
All pellets were visible. RNA was resuspended in 50 uL of water and incubated at 55C for 5 min. Concentration was determined on Nanodrop in duplicate. RNA samples were stored at -80C in NOAA OA September 2010 box. 1 uL of each RNA sample was diluted in 19 uL of water for qPCR test of gDNA contamination (stored at -20 in cDNA box II).

Cut out bands indicated below and put in cDNA Box II (-20C). Bands are indicated with white arrows and labeled with band name that corresponds to storage tube. Accidentally loaded loading buffer instead of hyperladder on gel, but can still get rough idea of most of the PCR products being the correct size (<200 bp).

Ceramide/Nutrition: Dnasing
Diluted samples according to volumes for 50 uL (11/8/10). Dnased all samples according to Ambion's TURBO protocol. For both TISO3 and PLY3, followed rigorous protocol for mantle, gill & muscle and followed regular protocol for visceral mass & hemolymph. Regular: added 5 uL buffer + 1 uL Dnase and incubated 30 min at 37C. For rigorous: added 5 uL buffer + 0.5 uL Dnase, incubated 37C for 30 min then added 0.5 uL Dnase and incubated again. At end of incubations added 5 uL inactivation buffer and vortexed 3x over 2 min. Centrifuged at 10000xg for 1.5 minutes and put supernatant in new tube (stored at -80).
qPCR with 18s primers of Dnased RNA to test for gDNA contamination.

Environmental monitoring
Retrieved PSDs (2) from the Aquarium at 10 am. Water level was higher than when they had been deployed and there were many jellies near the surface. There was a shrimp living in the "anchor" (cement block). Put each PSD in its own ziplock back and transported back to UW on ice (now stored in -20 freezer).
Attachments on long-line hooks had corroded so would need to find a different way of attaching the hooks to the rope for longer deployment. The hooks are supposed to corrode so that they detach from lost/abandoned gear.

Ceramide/Nutrition: RNA extractions
Extracted RNA from tissues collected oct. 29, 2010 using TRI reagent. Tissues extracted are for 1 oyster from each treatment (PLY3 & T.ISO 3) and include gill, hemolymph*, visceral mass, mantle & muscle.
Resolubilized RNA pellets (visible pellets in all samples) in water: 50 uL for visceral mass, muscle & hemolymph; 100 uL for gill & mantle. Measured RNA concentrations in triplicate on Nanodrop. Stored samples at -80 in NOAA OA larvae box.
*note of concern: do the hemolymph samples contain gametes?

Ceramide pathway: Sequencing
Table of expected sequence sizes vs. sizes of amplified PCR product from gels 10.27.10
Fragments in pink boxes are those that will be sequenced.
Bands to be sequenced with just forward primer: 1-15, 2-3b, 2-10, 1-1b, 1-11a, 3-1b, 3-1c, 3-8
Bands to be sequenced with both primers (>600 bp): 2-3a, 2-4, 2-6, 1-1a, 1-2b, 3-1a
Purified bands in Millipore columns - put bands in gel nebulizer of column and spun down at 5,000xg for 10 min. Put 10 uL of sample in appropriate well (see DNA plate layout below) except for band 1-2b (7 uL purified band + 3 uL water). For primers, put 3 uL of F or R primer + 7 uL water in each well (see below). Gave plates to SJW for sequencing.
October 29, 2010
Nutrition
Terminated algae nutrition experiment. Sampled 3 oysters from each treatment (T.iso and Ply). Took 5 different tissue samples for the 6 oysters: gill, hemolymph, mantle, muscle, digestive gland/visceral mass/gonad. Most of the oysters had developed gonad, which was difficult to distinguish from the visceral mass/DG. Tissues were stored in 1 mL RNAlater at 4C except for hemolymph which was stored in 0.5 mL TRI reagent at 4C. Shucker was cleaned between oysters and dissecting tools were cleaned between tissues in bleach & EtOH.

Ceramide pathway
Reverse transcription of DNased RNA samples. Put 16.75 uL water, 1 uL RNA, and 1 uL Oligo dT primers (oops, should have been 0.5 uL) into wells of a plate. Heated at 70C for 5 minutes and put on ice for ~3 minutes. Added 5 uL MMLV buffer, 1.25 uL 10 mM dNTPs and 0.5 uL reverse transcriptase. Heated at 42C 1 hours, 95C 3 min.
Diluted cDNA in 225 uL water. Stored at -20 in cDNA box II.
Primer test with cPCR: test of all new primers (qPCR: leptin, insulin receptor, SMase, Sptlc1, MHC; cPCR: SMase, MHC). For each primer pair, amplified cDNA from gill, mantle, muscle, dig. gland, and hemolymph + 1 negative control. Used Apex master mix: 12.5 uL Apex, 8.5 uL water, 0.5 uL each primer. Thermal profile: 95C 10 min; 95C 30s, 55C 30s, 72C 30s (repeat 40x); 72C 10 min.
Made 1.5% agarose gel (100 mL 1xTAE, 1.5 g agarose, 10 uL EtBr). Loaded gel with hyperladder I (Bioline, see below) in the beginning of both rows (5 uL). Row 1 has samples MHC (c) gill through MHC (q) muscle. Row 2 has samples MHC (q) DG through Sptlc1 negative control.
Ladder
Gel1
Close-up of MHC (c)
Made 50 mL 1.5% agarose gel to run remaining samples. First row on Gel 2 (Row 3) was InsReceptor Gill through Leptin DG. Row 4 was Leptin hemolymph, positive, and negative controls.
Letters at the heads of gel lanes correspond to tissue type from which cDNA was derived: G=gill, Ma=mantle, Mu=muscle,DG=digestive gland, H=hemolymph, +=positive control (Cg control 3 from cDNA box II), - = negative control. Bands that are labeled (i.e. 1-1c) were cut out for sequencing. Bands are in eppie tubes at -20C.
Possible contamination in negative controls for MHC (c) and SMase (c). SMase may be primer-dimer.
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Counted algae and updated spreadsheet. Fed 17.5 mL T.ISO (~165000 cells/mL) and 100 mL PLY (175000 cells/mL).
October 26, 2010
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Counted algae from 10.1-10.12 flasks (300 mL). Fed 15 mL of T.ISO (185,000 cells/mL) and 125 mL/remaining in flask of PLY (200000 cells/mL).
Ceramide pathway
qPCR to test gDNA contamination of RNA extracted 10.20 and to test new primers: leptin, insulin receptor, MHC, sphingomyelinase, sptlc1. All primers were reconstituted today to 100 uM with Tris HCl buffer (pH 8.5). Locations in Primer Box #7 and SRID are as follows:

qPCR on DNased RNA (see 10.25.10) was done with 18s primers with duplicates of samples. RNA was diluted 1:20 in water before added to the reaction.
qPCR to test primers insulin, leptin, MHC, SMase, and Sptlc1 was done on cDNA from OADev (samples 380 B1 and 840 A1, in duplicate).
Results: All new qPCR primers worked in at least one sample except for SMase. There was no amplification of the RNA samples, meaning there is no evidence of gDNA contamination and samples can be reverse transcribed. The gDNA control amplified with the 18s primers. There was no evidence of contamination in any of the NTCs.

Ceramide pathway
Used nanodrop to find RNA concentrations from extractions 10.20.10. Took concentrations in triplicate of each sample - gill, dig. gland, mantle, muscle, hemolymph. Calculated number of uL needed for 10 ug of RNA and brought up to 50 uL with water. Hemolymph was the only sample that required a volume >50uL for 10 ug so used entire sample.
DNased RNA samples, did rigorous protocol for all except did regular for hemolymph since RNA concentration was so low. See March 18, 2010 for details on rigorous protocol. For rigorous added 0.5 uL DNase + 5 uL 10x buffer to samples and incubated at 37C for 30 min; added additional 0.5 uL DNase and incubated another 30 minutes. Regular protocol: added 1 uL DNase + 5 uL buffer and incubated at 37 C for 30 min.
After incubations, added 5 uL inactivation buffer and vortexed 3 x over 2 minutes. Spun at 10,000xg for 1.5 min and put supernatant in new tube. Stored at -80.
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Karissa counted algae from 10.19 flasks (300 mL). Fed 30 mL of T.ISO (210000 cells/mL) and 90 mL of PLY (171000 cells/mL).
Made 2L new media from water Zac autoclaved last week. Seeded new flasks of PLY and T.ISO.
October 24, 2010
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Counted algae from feeder flask for T.ISO and from 300 mL 10.19 for PLY. Significant numbers of dead algae cells (most were still alive) in T.ISO so after feeding discarded remaining algae. Fed ~360,000 cells /mL of T.ISO and 340,000 cells/mL of PLY (T.ISO probably an overestimate given number of dead algal cells in culture).
October 22, 2010
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Counted algae - did not add any EtOH. Updated counts are in spreadsheet. Fed oysters ~11 mL of T.ISO (170000 cells/mL) and the rest of the PLY (~40 mL, 196000 cells/mL).
Before feeding changed water in tanks.
October 21, 2010
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Counted algae. Added 50 uL of 75% EtOH to 1 mL of algae from feeding flasks. Still not enough EtOH to completely stop swimming, but algae were slower. Oysters were fed 15 mL T.ISO and 77 mL PLY.
October 20, 2010
Ceramide pathway
Extracted RNA from tissues collected yesterday using TRI reagent. All pellets were resuspended in 100 uL water, except hemolymph was resuspended in 50 uL. Resuspension was aided by incubation at 50C for ~5 minutes, samples were then lightly vortexed and stored at -80 in NOAA Sept 2010 box.
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Counted algae from 300 mL flasks 10/1-10/12 because did not see other flasks which had been taken out of the hood. Added 10 uL 75% EtOH to 1 mL of algae to slow algae movement. Took 2 aliquots from the 1 mL and counted 6 squares on hemacytometer. This did not have much of an effect on the algae. Oysters were fed 20 mL T.ISO and 155 mL PLY, ~170000 cells/mL each.
Fed the trash can oysters 10 mL SD1800.
Biomonitoring
Deployed 2 PSDs at the Aquarium (POCIS). PSDs were attached to a rope using long-line clips. The rope was weighted with a large cinder block (PSDs were ~5-6' above the block). The block & PSDs were lowered into the water until the block touched bottom and then the top of the rope was tied off to secure vertical suspension of the PSDs in the water column. PSDs will be deployed for 3 weeks.
October 19,2010
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Counted algae (see 10.13) and updated spread sheet. Fed oysters 14 mL T.ISO and 47 mL PLY (~170000 cells/mL each).
White/grayish debris in bottom of tanks is probably feces - looked under 'scope and they were dense and solid.
Also under scope found larvae from the tanks - surprise barnacle larvae!!
Cleaned out tanks by emptying water, rinsing twice with dechlorinated water and refilling with new seawater until oysters covered. Fed oysters after cleaned tanks.
Ceramide pathway
Dissected oyster from yesterday. Tissues for RNA extraction (gill, mantle, muscle, digestive gland, and hemolymph) were put in 0.5 mL RNAlater at 4C; duplicates of all tissues except hemolymph were frozen immediately at -80C. The frozen tissues are in the C. gigas Larvae NOAA OA September 2010 box.
October 18, 2010
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Counted algae (see 10.13) and updated spread sheet. Fed oysters 20 mL TISO and 142 mL PLY (2x normal feeding because missed feeding this weekend, ~340,000 cells/mL). Oysters were all sightly agape. Weird white stuff on bottom of PLY treatment tank - will investigate tomorrow. Will also change water in both tanks tomorrow.
Environmental monitoring
Picked up 2 PSDs from Irv Shultz (PNNL). Irv has membranes mounted inside steamers (cooking appliance) and held closed with zip ties. This would save $355 per site ($1065 total).
Ceramide signaling pathway
Picked up an oyster from Taylor shellfish to dissect for various tissues and test ceramide pathway primers. Put oyster in tank with saltwater.
October 15, 2010
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Counted algae as outlined 10.13.10 and updated spread sheet. Fed oysters 15 mL T.ISO and 95 mL PLY (~1.7*10^5 cells/mL). Oysters in both treatments were slightly agape.
Fed trashcan oysters 10 mL SD1800.
Oysters will not be fed 10.16.10.
October 14, 2010
Algae counts & feeding: Nutrition
Counted algae as outlined 10.13.10 and updated spread sheet. There was more cells/uL of T.ISO today but not of PLY. Fed the oysters 25 mL of T.ISO (1.66x10^5 cells/mL) and 115 mL of PLY (same # cells/mL).
Oysters in T.ISO treatment are mostly closed and barnacles are inactive. This is in stark contrast to the oysters in the PLY treatment where all barnacles are active and all oysters are slightly agape.
Fed trashcan oysters 10 mL SD1800.
Received leptin pathway primers (2 pairs) but did not elute.
October 13, 2010
Algae counts & set-up: Nutrition
Swirled algae flasks so well-mixed. Took aliquots from both algaes, Isochrysis (T. ISO) and tetraselmis (PLY). Counted 2 ~15 uL aliquots from each algae type on hemacytometer. Counts were for number of algae cells in 6 different squares as defined by the pink square (below). T.ISO cells were much smaller than PLY cells. Ongoing algae counts can be found in spreadsheet here.
Put oysters (collected at Big Beef Creek) in 2 separate rectangular experimental tanks (n=4 for T.ISO and n=5 for PLY). Each tank has a small pump to create water flow. Fed the PLY treatment 100 mL of algae and the T.ISO treatment got 25 mL of algae. Oysters in trash can were fed 10 mL of shellfish diet 1800.

Primer design: Ceramide Signalling Pathway
Designed primers for sequencing and qPCR for genes in the ceramide pathway. Known vertebrate sequences for the genes and their C. gigas homologues were aligned in Geneious. In some cases (MHC, Lass5, and SMase) consensus sequences for C. gigas were created based on multiple overlapping ESTs. For MHC and SMase, there is not a published EST for the entire ORF so primers were designed based on the consensus sequences to include the entire ORF. QPCR primers were designed for MHC, SMase, and Sptlc1.
yellow arrows designate open reading frames in the oyster sequence (1) and the Bombyx mori homologue (2).
October 7, 2010
Bioinformatics: Ceramide Signalling Pathway
Read more papers on ceramide (see My Delicious, "ceramide" bookmark).
Got NCBI sequences from top BLAST hits (10.6.10). Blasted these top hits against NCBI nucleotide and est databases for cross-reference purposes. Will have to determine e-value cut-off for determining if gene is really in oyster ceramide pathway. Sequences will be the basis for primer design.
October 6, 2010
Bioinformatics: Ceramide Signalling Pathway__
Compiled list of genes in the pathway based on Ballou et al. 1996: Ceramide signalling and the immune response. Reference sequences in organisms with the genes in the pathway that are published on NCBI were compiled (see
spreadsheet). For each gene, sequences were entered into blastall (wet genes) with the following settings: tblastx (nucleotide query transl./transl. nuc. db); protein db "nr"; nucleotide db "cgigas...Sigenae"; tabulated output. (All other settings default).

OADev
Repeat of qPCR 9/3 on Friedman lab qPCR thermalcycler. See 9/3 for details.
September 7, 2010
OADev
qPCR from 9.3.10 had funky fluorescence. Repeat PCR (same sheet as 9.3).
Still weird fluorescence.
qPCR to check SYTO 13 (50 uM) made 8.31.10. Made new SYTO stock - 1 uL 5mM SYTO 13 in 99 uL DMSO. qPCR in replicate with master mixes made from 2 different SYTO dilutions.
fluorescence is a problem with the qPCR machine.
OA at NWFSC
1 pm: dropped off oysters collected at Big Beef Creek on 9.6. Oysters are at ~20C in flowing water.
September 6, 2010
Prep for spawning
Collected ~23 adult C. gigas from Big Beef Creek. Tide was high (~1:30 pm). Opened a few oysters to check ripeness before collecting. Oysters on river side of bridge above tide were barely ripe. More ripeness in subtidal oysters under bridge and along the beach in the bay. Oysters were collected from these 2 locations and transported back to UW on ice. Once back at SAFS, put oysters in seawater tank with air and a pump to create water flow.
September 3, 2010
OADev
Exported qPCR data from 9/1 and 9/2 with manual threshold of 0.011. Too much variation to tell if differences are significant or not. Samples that need to be rerun (due to low efficiency or failed amplification):
EF1: 840 C2
CytP450: 380A2, 380 A1, 840 C1
qPCR of rerun samples and all samples for duplicate. Also included Hsp70 (CM primers).
T/Vt
Samples inoculated with Vt at 25C: A,G,D,H
Samples inoculated with Vt at 12C: J,K,C,L
Controls (unclear which are at which T): B,E,F,I,M,N,O,P - but we think the 25C controls are F,E,B,I and 12C controls are O,M,N,P.
Exported qPCR data from 9/1 & 9/2 with manual threshold of 0.019. Samples that need to be rerun are:
EF1: A,D,H,P
cjunk: A,D,P,F,G,I
NfkB: all
September 2, 2010
OADev
qPCR of 380 A1, A2, B1 and 840 A1, B1, C1, C2 (cDNA). Genes = BPI, CytP450, Prx6, and Hsp70.
Results: BPI did not amplify - need to check paper for published annealing temp, etc.; CytP450 & Prx6 were fine; Hsp70 had a terrible melt curve. SW says that the primer set is bad in general and gave me newly designed primers (from Christina Miller).
T/Vt
Reverse transcription (see 11/6/09) of 7.16 J & K.
qPCR of T/Vt 7.16 cDNA with c-jun kinase and NfKB (also EF1a for J & K). Tested new Hsps70 primers (from CM) with some unknown cDNA.

Made sample database of all RNA, cDNA and samples.
August 31, 2010
OADev & T/Vt
qPCR results from 8.30: Some samples were clean and some had gDNA contamination. Clean samples: 380 A1, 380 A2, 840 C2, 7.16 A, D, H, O and P. All negatives were clean and gDNA controls amplified more than most of the RNA samples. Chose samples with the highest gDNA levels, diluted them 1:20 in nanopure water and did qPCR with 18s primers. Samples picked for re-amp. were: 380 C1, 7.16 B, F, I, and N.
Still evidence of contamination in all samples tested at 1:20 dilution. Re-DNase (standard protocol, 1 uL DNase, 5 uL buffer, incubate 37C for 30 min) all samples that showed evidence of gDNA contamination in qPCR from 8.30.
qPCR of re-DNased samples with 18s primers.
All samples clean except for 380 C1. Will re-DNase 380C1 and 7.16 J &K, which were missed yesterday.
August 30, 2010
OADev & T/Vt
Extracted RNA from OADev samples using Tri Reagent. Extracted 4 from each CO2 treatment. For 380 ppm: A1, B1, C1, A2. For 840 ppm: A1, B1, C1, C2. 380 ppm C1 spilled ~1/2 volume during vortexing after chloroform addition.
Found RNA concentrations using Nanodrop for extracted OAdev sample & 16 RNA samples (extracted at FHL) from T/Vt trial 7.16. Did concentrations of 3 aliquots of 1.5 uL from each sample.
3 concentrations were averaged unless one was anomalous, then is was discarded from calculations. From averaged concentration, determined how many uL would be needed for 10 ug. If >50 uL, then used entire sample for DNasing (all RNA samples are 50 uL); if <50 uL, then made up difference with DEPC-treated H2O.
Dnased samples using Ambion's rigorous protocol (details March 18, 2010).
qPCR of all RNA samples with 18s primers to test for gDNA contamination (4 negative controls, 2 positive controls of C. gigas DNA).
August 27-30, 2010
LD50: C. gigas larvae + V. tubiashii
Counted larvae in the am to determine live vs dead. Same protocol as 8.26. Did 4x on 8.26-28, switched to 10x on 8.29 & 8.30. Data here.
In a number of the samples, fewer larvae were swimming as of 8.27 (see data for details). Ciliates first observed on 8.30 in chambers C, N, and B. Larvae were not counted in K & D on 8.30 because they had all been dead since 8.27.
August 26, 2010
LD50: C. gigas larvae + V. tubiashii
Got ~1x10^6 Cg larvae from Taylor yesterday (8/25). larvae were spawned on Monday (8/23). Divided larvae equally between 10 treatment chambers (1.5 L). Chambers were filled with seawater and aerated.
10 am today inoculated 8 treatment chambers with Vt. Inoculation at 4 concentrations in duplicate: 10^6, 10^5, 10^4, and 10^3 CFU/mL. 2 chambers left as controls. Before inoculation, homogenized larvae in water column with "plunger" and sampled 10 mL. Took 3 aliquots from those 10 mL and put in 3 wells of a depression slide. Counted larvae in 3 fields of view at 4x. Determined live vs. dead (xls "LD 50 mortality data"). Larvae appeared healthy and most were swimming actively. They had bivalved shells and velums.

Cg Larvae - Vt trial 1
7: 40 am
started 6 hour Vt incubation. Inoculated new media ( 25 mL of 0.25% tryptone and seawater) with 100 uL of 24 hour Vt culture from 7/7. Placed culture on rocker in incubator (26C).
Counted colonies from yesterday's Vt used for inoculating larvae. Counted colonies on both 10^-3 concentration plates - n=109 & 74. According to equation CFU/mL = # colonies * 1/0.1 * dilution this 183 * 10^6 CFU/mL.
8:10 am
Started neutral red incubation of 50 mL larvae + 50 uL 1% neutral red.
11 am
Emptied, rinsed and replaced banjo filters in all chambers. Sampled larvae. There were very few larvae left in H so sampled all and now only have 7 chambers for remaining part of trial.
T: 23C
salinity: 30 ppt
pH: ~8
1:40 pm
boiled 4 mL of Vt for 1 hour to heat kill. Made 5 serial dilutions: 1 mL Vt in 9 mL sterile water. Spread 2 plates each for last 3 dilutions - 10^-3, -4, and -5. Put in 25C incubator overnight.
2:10 pm
Neutral red microscopy: photographed and measured larvae from all 8 chambers.
4 pm
Inoculated treatment chambers (A, B, D & E) and put algae (T. iso + Plya, 50 mL between 7 containers) in all chambers.
July 7, 2010
Cg Larvae - Vt trial 1
Temp: 21C
salinity: 31 ppt
pH: ~8
Repeated steps from 7/6 - neutral red, sampling, feeding, inoculating.
Ciliates observed in larvae from E.
July 6, 2010
Cg Larvae - Vt trial 1
10:45 am
Got larvae from Taylor shellfish 7/5/10. Larvae were spawned 6/30.
salinity 31 ppt, T 20C, pH <8. Water flow is on for one hour every other hour.
11:20 am
Put 50 mL of SW + larvae from each chamber into small glass vial and added 50 uL neutral red. Swirled gently and let sit 6 hours.
4:00 pm
Emptied and cleaned all larval chambers. Refilled with fresh SW. Sampled larvae for RNA (1 per chamber). Replaced all non-stopper chambers with stoppered ones and replaced all banjo filters with clean ones. Fed larvae mix of T.iso and Plya (50 mL divided between 8 chambers).
5-5:30 pm
Inoculated treatment chambers (A,B,D & E) with 100 uL heat-killed Vt (prepped by ED).
Measured and assessed mortality of neutral red-dyed larvae from this am. Took 40 uL aliquots from each dyed sample and measured all larvae positioned well for measuring. If n<10 in the 40 uL aliquot, did a 2nd or 3rd aliquot. Noticed ciliate in chambers B & D.
July 2, 2010
Cg Larvae
Emptied and cleaned all larvae chambers. Sampled for RNA and microscopy as described below. Today was end of trial so cleaned out all chambers. Sizes recorded in spreadsheet. Live swimming larvae visible in all chambers except F.
June 30, 2010
Cg Larvae
Emptied and cleaned all larvae chambers. Replaced the banjo filters with new, clean 70 micron filters. Took one sample from each chamber to put in RNAlater and then a few larvae for microscopy. Stored the RNA samples in 500 uL RNAlater. Refilled all chambers with fresh seawater.
Microscopy: Looked at all larvae under dissecting scope to assess if there were any still alive. All chambers except D & I had live larvae swimming around. Put 50 uL from each sample on depression slide and photographed under compound scope + camera to measure with SPOT. Measured larvae from all chambers except D & F because there were no larve in the aliquot. The only larvae measured were ones with a dorsal or ventral view that were providing a view of a circle (posterior or anterior views did not provide clear measurements). Measurements were taken along the longitudinal and latitudinal axes of the dorsal/ventral side of the larva.
June 28, 2010
Cg Larvae
made 1 L f/2 media for algae culture. See recipe 5/28.
Emptied and cleaned all larvae chambers. Sampled RNA larvae for gene expression (in 500 uL RNAlater) and microscopy. For microscopy, just took samples from chambers A & F. Measured subset of these using microscope. Summary statistics (data are in spreadsheet CO2 Cg larvae sizes start 062310), measurements are in microns and letters indicate larval chamber:

Under dissecting scope, larvae were observed swimming, although fewer were obviously active.
pH in treatment tank ~6, in control <8.
There appeared to be very few larvae left in chamber D but all chambers still had larvae.
Fed larvae Ply 429, 50 mL split between 8 chambers.
June 26, 2010
Cg Larvae
Drained and rinsed larvae from all chambers. Took samples for gene expression analysis and stored in 500 uL RNAlater. Looked at larvae from D & E under dissection microscope. Larvae are still alive and swimming vigorously. Chamber E seems to have many more larvae than the other chambers although good concentrations of larvae apparent in all chambers.
Returned larvae to respective chambers and fed all chambers a mix of T.iso and Ply429 (50 mL between 8 chambers).
June 25, 2010
Cg Larvae
12:30 pm
pH in treatment tank <7, pH in control ~8 (measured with litmus paper)
Changed pump cycle to 1 hour on/one hour off.
2:00 pm
Put mixture of T.iso & Ply 429 in all chambers (dived 50 mL between 8 chambers).
June 24, 2010
Cg larvae
Got new larvae last night (6/23) from Taylor Shellfish. 5 day-old c. gigas. Put in chambers with new water around 5 pm with water flow and air bubbling. No co2 treatment.
Got new seawater from the aquarium today.
pH and pH probe: the pH probe is not properly calibrated to low pHs (it seems to be broken/missing a piece). It accurately measures the pH 7 standard, but not the 4. It is indicating that the seawater is at pH<7. After testing with litmus paper, it seems that the SW is probably at a pH of about 7. Turned down the pH probe so that it was about 0.2 units below what it thinks the seawater is so that CO2 would bubble into the treatment tank. There are now treatment and control chambers (same as before).
air: turned off air delivery to all chambers because the air flow was too strong.
water: put pumps on a timer so that they are on for one hour and off for 2. this is to make sure that the larval chambers do not overflow.
larvae sampling: filtered each larvae chamber on 64 micron mesh and rinsed in 2 buckets of water. Took sample for RNA analysis (0.5 mL RNAlater) and subsampled from 4 chambers for microscopy. Replaced larvae in chambers after rinsing and sampling with new water. Rinsed all chambers before putting larvae back.
June 19, 2010
Cg Larvae
Emptied and cleaned all larvae chambers. Took 1 sample from each chamber and stored in 0.5 mL RNAlater at 4C. pH for treatment was at 7.5. Also took a few larvae to observe in microscopy (from screen). There seemed to be fewer larvae in each chamber.
Microscopy: a number of larvae were still alive and swimming vigorously. Under the dissecting scope, I did not see any evidence of ciliates.
Larvae were put back in proper containers. We are low on seawater so I switched the system to recirculation, meaning that there are no longer treatment and control groups.
June 18, 2010
Cg Larvae
6:20 pm, pH in treatment water 7.5. Treatment chambers are A, B, E, G. Controls are H, D, F, I.
Sampled 2 mL of water from each chamber. No larvae were apparent in any of the aliquots. Will filter out all chambers tomorrow and thoroughly assess state of larvae.
June 17, 2010
Cg Larvae
12:00 pm: lowered pH for water going to treatment chambers by about 0.4 pH units (to about 7.5).
Made 900 mL F/2 media: 900 mL sterile seawater (from 5/28) 118.8 uL each Procul A & B (new bottles).
Split algae cultures into new media: F/2 for T-iso and Ply429, F/2 + silicates for TW.
Cleaned all larvae in 2 washes seawater. While larvae on filter, removed >1000 and put in RNAlater for extraction. Took 2 samples from each chamber, stored at 4C. Before larvae put back in chambers, rinsed thoroughly with dechlorinated water and refilled with fresh seawater. Put some Ply429 in each of the chambers.
At 8:00 pm the pH in the treatment water was down to about 7.3.
In a number of the chambers with rubber stoppers (vs. resin) there were larvae stuck between the stopper and the side of the neck of the bottle.
June 16, 2010
Cg Larvae
about 8:30 pm. New larvae from Taylor (9 day-olds). ~89 larvae per mL in 1000 mL. Put 137.5 mL of larvae in each of 8 chambers - about 12,237 in 1.5 L. Chambers were filled with fresh seawater and attached to water and air supplies.
June 11, 2010
Larval Chamber set-up
Filtered out and washed all larvae. Put aside in 1 L beaker with seawater.
Looked for ciliates in samples of water from tote and from water barrel, but found none.
Dismantled and washed all parts of larval chamber set-up.
New water set up and air flow with brand-new tubing. Holes in PVC done with 7/32 drill bit.
June 10, 2010
Cg Larvae
Counts per mL (based on 3 mL)
A: 1
B: 16
H: 4
F: 1
E: 0
I: 1
G: 6
When present, most larvae were alive and many were swimming (veligers). Almost all larvae in chamber G were dead and there was one larger shell (2x size of others).
RNA Extraction
Extracted RNA from larvae collected 6.9.10. Spun down tubes of larvae + RNAlater (5000xg for 5 minutes) and used pipette to remove larvae from bottom of tube. Extracted with TRI following manufacturer's protocol. Resuspended pellets in 50 uL water. All samples except F had visible pellets of RNA. Analyzed concentrations of RNA on Nanodrop. Stored samples at -80. (Letters indicate which larval chamber sample was taken from.)
Where did all the larvae go?
Emptied chamber A onto a 48 micron screen to capture all larvae in water column. Placed in bath of seawater, removed stopper and rinsed larvae stuck to stopper into petri dish. Rinsed & refilled A, replacing larvae on screen. Looked at stopper larvae under microscope and noticed that there were a number of ciliates in with the larvae (some larvae were still alive, but the ciliates were viciously attacking them). Looked at some of the algae from the hatchery under the scope but did not see ciliates.
Emptied all other chambers, one at a time, onto a screen. Rinsed them twice in seawater on the screen. Emptied chamber completely, rinsed well, and refilled with fresh water. Replaced the water in the rest of the system as well. This process will need to be repeated daily to ensure expulsion of all ciliates.
June 9, 2010
Cg Larvae
Counted larvae in all chambers. Took 3 mL from each water column and counted # larvae per mL. Larvae were mostly alive and active except in chambers H & F where a large number were dead. Counts are in counts per mL, followed by average for the 3 mL and then estimated # per chamber.
A: 21, 34, 52; avg. 35.7; total 53,500
B: 41, 15, 63; avg. 39.7; total 59,500
H: 10, 3, 12; avg. 8.3; total 12,500
F: 23, 25, 22; avg. 23.3; total 35,000
E: 0,0,1; avg. 0.3; total 450
I: 1, 4 (only 1 alive), 0; avg. 1.7; total 2,500
G: 22, 7, 25; avg. 18; total 27,000
Sample ~1000 larvae from each chamber. Volumes will be as follows:
A: 28 mL
B: 25 mL
H: 120 mL
F: 43 mL
G: 55.5 mL
Volumes were filtered on a 48 micron mesh and larvae were removed from filter with a transfer pipette and immediately placed in ~0.5 mL RNAlater. Stored at 4C.
Changed water in system. Fed each chamber ~5 mL algae.
June 8, 2010
Went to Taylor Hatchery in Quilcene.
Microbial Community Sampling (with Joth)
~11:00 am, Dabob Bay
Sample depth: ~2m
Used horizontal sampler to collect seawater from depth. Filled 2 plastic bottles (rinsed with seawater). Filtered 300 mL from each of these plastic bottles and fixed with 3 mL fixative. Folded papers and put in 2 mL tubes. Transported back to Seattle on ice and stored at -20C.
Also brought back 1 gallon algae mix for feeding larvae and 2 50 mL tubes with 8 day old C. gigas larvae (~488,000 larvae).
Counted larvae in chambers from last Thursday. There were none visible from the water column of any of the chambers. All the larvae had sunk to the bottom and were on/around the stoppers. Emptied out all old larvae and rinsed chambers.
Put new larvae in chambers. The following volume of evenly suspended larvae were put in each indicated chamber.
A 100 mL
B 400 mL
D 100 mL
E 100 mL
F 100 mL
G 100 mL
H 100 mL
I 100 mL
This turns out to be 48,800 for the 100 mL chambers and 195,200 for B - or 33 larvae per mL and 130 larvae per mL, respectively.
Put about 5 mL of algae mix in each chamber.
June 7, 2010
Partial water change in larval system.

June 4, 2010
Chamber E was emptied and F density reduced.
Chambers A & B received 3 ml T-iso each (1 week old)
Chambers C& H received 10 ml T-iso each (1 week old)
Aquarium water postponed till next week.
No feeding during weekend given supply. Will feed on Monday.
Next week will also gear up for CO2 trials. Need to speak to Elene on how to preserve samples for pH measurements.

Cg Larvae
Notes on Feeding
Ponis et al. 2003:
in 2 L beakers (1.8 L seawater)
D-hinge larvae at 5/mL
feed 3x per week (when change sw) with 10^5 algae cells/mL
Ponis et al. 2006
in 2 L beakers 5 D-hinge larvae/mL
fed every other day, 50 cells/uL first week then 100 cells/uL
Quantifying Algal cells
Took 20 uL from each algae culture flask. Looked at cells under scope - they were moving too rapidly to count accurately. Added ~45 uL Lugol's Iodine to each 20 uL aliquot (will multiply counts by 2.25 to make up for the dilution). Average number of cells per uL from each flask, with x2.25 correction, are as follows (counted on a hemacytometer):
A1. Ply 429 5/28 w/foil top: 2.25
A2. Ply 429 6/1: 2.25
A3. Ply 429 5/28 w/ cotton: 3
B1. TW 5/28 w/ foil: 6.25
B2. TW 5/28 w/ cotton: 2.25
C1. T-iso 5/28 w/ foil: 218
C2. T-iso 5/28 w/ cotton: 422
C3. T-iso 6/1: 15
Aim to feed larvae 100 cells per uL of volume at which they are held. If feed equal amounts of each algae, will feed 33 cells/uL of each component. With 1.5 L (or 1.5 x 10^6 uL) in each chamber, need to feed ~4.95 x 10^7 cells of each algal component.
Based on the cell counts above, the volumes from each of the flask to feed 4.95E7 cells would be:
A1. 22 L
A2. 22 L
A3. 16.5 L
B1. 7.9 L
B2. 22 L
C1. 227 mL
C2. 117 mL
C3. 3.3 L
Brent brought back new C. gigas larvae from Taylor Shellfish in Quilcene. They are indicated at being 10 days old and when observed under microscope appear to be early veliger stage. Poured larvae into 1 L beaker of seawater. Plunged to evenly suspend larvae and sampled 10 mL. Counted 1 quadrant (1/4) of larvae in each mL (counts are estimates, not exact). The 10 1/4 counts are: 150, 60, 120, 50, 500, 50, 30, 45. This averages out to be about 380,400 larvae total or about 380 larvae per mL.
There are 10 larvae per mL in chambers A & B.
50 larvae per mL in chambers C & H.
The remaining larvae (approximately 527 mL worth, or 100,197 larvae) were evenly distributed between chambers E & F. This works out to be about 67 larvae per mL.
All chambers are outfitted with air stones and new water delivered via drippers at 2 L/hour.
June 2, 2010
Cg Larvae
Replaced pump in larval chamber set-up. Measured pump rate (without drippers) at 420 mL/minute.
Turned all drippers in chambers the other way and they are no longer having clogging problems. Looks like they were upside down before.
May 29, 2010
Fed Mac's oysters (top & bottom tanks) ~9am.
Changed water in larval tank. Counted 5 mL larvae from chambers A, B and C. There were no larvae until the last mL (corresponding to water taken from the bottom of the chamber) for any of the samples. In A there were 32 larvae, 4 were alive and 2 were 2x the size of the others (dead). In B there were 8 larvae, 2 alive. In 7 there were 17 larvae, 1 alive.
Extracted RNA from larvae samples collected 5.25.10 with TRI reagent following manufacturer's protcol. Homogenized larvae (even when none apparently visible) with pestle in TRI reagent.
May 27, 2010
Algal starter cultures
Sterilized 2 L of seawater in glass bottles (just sterilization cycle in autoclave).
Sterilized varied flasks & graduated cylinders for growing algae on full sterilization through exhaust cycle.
To make 1 L of pro-culture for algal starter cultures:
Procul A & B = Kent Marine Pro-cultures A and B
10 mL Procul A + 10 mL Procul B for 20 gallons of water
1 L = 0.264 gallons
0.264 gallons * (10 mL/20 gallons) = .132 mL = 132 uL of Procul A & B for 1 L seawater
Adding silicates:
1 gallon Procul A + 1 gallon Procul B makes 7,680 gallons culture water
Add silicates at 20 g per 1,000 gallons of culture water
0.132 mL of Procul A + Procul B makes 38.425 gallons of culture water
Need to add 0.7685 g of silicates
Sterilized all equipment needed to make culture media in germicidal hood for 15 minutes. Made 1 L of regular culture media (Procul A & B) and 1 L of regular media + silicates. Media are made in sterile bottles, labeled, and at 4C (behind my bench).
May 26, 2010
Cg Larvae
Changed water in system.
Larvae counts for remaining chambers. Took 5 mL aliquots from each chamber, 1 mL in each well of 12-well plate. Counts are followed by observations
A: 1 (dead), 3 (1 dead), 0, 38, 51
For the wells containing n=38 and n=51 only a few larvae were swimming in each well. In the n=38 well, 2 larvae were twice the size as the others (these 2 were alive, but not swimming so couldn't determine stage). All swimming larvae were veligers.
B: 1, 0, 0, 1 (swimming), 2 (1 swimming)
veligers
C: 0, 0, 0, 0, 7
At least one larva was alive. None were swimming.
May 25, 2010
Cg Larvae
Larvae counts for chambers - took 2 aliquots of 1 mL each and counted larvae under dissecting scope.
A: n=2 & 4
B: n= 1 & 1
C: n=1 & 0
E: 0
Z: 0
All larvae were swimming actively (veliger).
Noticed that there were what looked like larvae floating on the surface of the water and on the bottom of the holding tank. Took 1 mL aliquots of surface and bottom water. There were no larvae in the top sample but >50 from the bottom.
Determined that larvae were escaping from Z & E. Filtered out all the water in these chambers through a 60 micron mesh and transferred to RNAlater. Took chambers into lab for repairs.
May 24, 2010
Cg Larvae: RNA & DNA Extraction

10 mL 100% EtOH
The samples from 5.21.10 were the only ones with RNA and DNA pellets.
May 23, 2010
Cg Larvae
Changed water in system.
Sampled the following volumes (in mL) from the specified larval chambers -
A & B: 5, 10, 20
C & E: 1, 2, 4
Z: 0.5, 1, 2
The volumes correspond to approximately n=50, 100, & 200 larvae, respectively.
Observations and counts of 1 mL of larvae from each of the larval chambers -
A: n=9; actively swimming, veligers
B: 0
C: n=4; actively swimming, veligers
E: 0
Z: n=1; actively swimming, veligers
Spun down all samples at 1200 rpm for 5 min (20 C). Removed supernatant and stored at -80C.
May 22, 2010
Cg Larvae
Changed water in system.
May 21, 2010
Cg Larvae
Changed water in system. Joth brought in new larvae. Suspended in 1 L seawater, stirred well and aliquoted 1 mL 3 times into plate for counting larvae. Drew quadrants on the bottom of the wells. Counted larvae in 2 quadrants for each of the three aliquots.
Per quadrant counts:
I: 40, 52, 66
II: 70, 45, 90
Per well counts (quadrant * 4):
I: 160, 208, 284
II: 280, 180, 360
average number of larvae per mL = 245
Total larvae = 245,000
Counts from chamber C (sampled 10 mL larvae + water): 180 larvae, 18 larvae/mL
For new larvae, want 2 chambers with 10 larvae/mL and 2 with 50 larvae/mL. 10 larvae per mL would = 15,000 larvae in the chamber (~1.5 L), which is 16.3 mL of the 245,000 larvae in 1 L. 50 larvae per mL would be 75,000 larvae per chamber, which is 81.5 mL of the 1 L. After aliquoting the larvae to their respective chambers, there is 804.4 mL of larvae + seawater left in the 1 L beaker. (Between each aliquot, plunged strainer up & down in beaker to suspend larvae homogeneously.) This 804.4 mL is about 197,000 larvae, or about 131 larvae per mL. Larval chambers with concentrations below:
Chambers A & B: 10 larvae/mL
Chambers C & E: 50 larvae/mL
Chamber D: Elene's larvae (was chamber C)
Foil-covered chamber (=chamber Z): 131 larvae/mL
From chamber Z took 20 mL and 40 mL of larvae (this is about 26,000 and 52,000 larvae respectively). Spun down at 12000 rpm for 5 minutes (20C). Some larvae still in suspension after spinning down, but still removed most of seawater and froze remaining larvae at -80C.
May 19, 2010
Cg Larvae
Changed water in system. Last night Elene put many new larvae in chamber C. Counts today yielded about 55 live larvae in 10 mL for chamber C and almost not larvae in chambers B & D. New larvae arriving tomorrow as well.
Empty out chambers B & D. Prepare chambers A, B, & D for larvae tomorrow.
Sampling protocol for determining # of larvae needed to do usable RNA extraction.
Every other day, sample 50, 100, and 200 larvae (10, 20, and 40 mL) from each chamber. Filter and preserve in RNAlater for RNA & DNA extraction.

May 14, 2010
Cg Larvae
Suspect that did not transfer most of the larvae from holding chamber, that they were probably all on the very bottom. Put water drip & airstone in this larval chamber (now "D") under assumption that it contains larvae.
Similarly to yesterday, took 10 mL from larval chambers B & D. For B sample, found only 1 dead larva. For D sample found 14 live & 58 dead.
May 13, 2010
Cg Larvae
Brent got ~100 mL (~5000?) Cg larvae from Taylor yesterday. Put in larval chambers last night with bubbling air and water drip (chambers B & C). System is currently closed (i.e. not flow-through).
Mortality estimates:
Took 1 mL from top of larval chambers and then 2 aliquots of 1 mL from bottom of chambers B & C. Under dissecting scope, counted larvae alive & dead.
Counts are #live/total larvae in aliquot

Differential Display: CO2 challenged juvenile oysters
The following protocol basically follows Sigma's Differential Display manufacturer's protocol.
I. Nanodrop RNA samples (these samples are the 2x DNased)
Spec (2 sheets ) each sample (of 16) 3 times, average concentration for final concentration. Base subsequent calculations on this final concentration.
Pooling samples: Amount of RNA per pooled sample cannot exceed 8 ug or 18 uL. To determine amount of each sample that will go in to pool, set up equation in Excel so that as sample with smallest concentration's volume was increased, all other sample volumes would commensurately increase as well. Since total volumes ended up being larger than 18 uL, need to precipitate RNA and resuspend in appropriate volume.
Pool 1 (CO2 challenged)
Pool 2 (controls)
RNA Precipitation:
To each pool of RNA, add 0.1 volume 5 M ammonium acetate (9.36 for Pool 1 and 7.63 for Pool 2). Added 2 volumes 100% EtOH (205.9 uL and 167.88 uL, respectively) to each pooled RNA. Mixed well and incubated at -80 for 30 minutes.
Spin tube max speed (16,000xg) at 4 C for 30 minutes.
Discard supernatant and quick spin tubes to remove residual EtOH.
Add 1 mL 70% EtOH; flick to get pellet off bottom of tube.
Spin at max speed, 4C for 10 minutes. Discard supernatant.
Remove residual EtOH. Stored at -80.

RT-qPCR on Vibrio & CO2 challenged oyster cDNA
Same as 10/29/2009 but with new primers MDR, SOD, and AURKA. No positive control. See here for layout, etc.
October 29, 2009
RT-qPCR on Vibrio & CO2 challenged oyster cDNA
Did RT-qPCR on all 16 gigas samples for genes elongation factor 1, Interleukin 17 Isoform D, and Cytochrome P450.
Working stock primers were all prepared fresh: 90 uL H2O + 10 uL 100 uM stock to make 10 uM solution. Positive control C. gigas cDNA was provided by SW. Experimental cDNA samples were brought up to 80 uL (1:4 dilution) with 60 uL H2O. Master mix and PCR performed according to here .

Vibrio & CO2 challenged oysters: test for contamination
gDNA contamination apparent in all samples and blank controls. Made new 10 uM stock 18s gigas primers and got new aliquot of PCR water. Ran PCR of blanks and positive controls to ensure no contamination according (here ) .
Results: blanks were clean, gDNA controls amplified as expected.
qPCR of 2xDNased 1:20 dilutions from 10/27/09 as seen here .
gDNA contamination gone from samples (proper amplification of positive controls, empty negative controls). Performed reverse transcription on RNA samples (undiluted 2xDNased).
Transferred 5 uL of each sample into strip tube. Incubated at 75 degrees C for 5 minutes. Transferred to ice for 5+ minutes.
Prepared master mix (x18):
72 uL 5x AMV RT buffer
144 uL 10 mM dNTP mix
18 uL AMV RTranscriptase
18 uL Oligo dT Primer
18 uL RNase free water
Aliquot 15 uL of master mix into each sample well. Incubated for 10 minutes at RT. Incubated at 37 degrees for 1 hour then at 95 degrees for 3 minutes. Store at -20.
October 27, 2009
Vibrio & CO2 challenged oysters: gDNA clean-up (x2)
Still detectable gDNA contamination in PCR. Repeated clean-up protocol from Oct. 23, but performed protocol on samples that were cleaned once already. Since 5 uL had been removed from each of these to make the 1:20 dilution for the PCR, added only 4.5 uL TURBO buffer to the RNA. Prepped 1:20 dilutions for RT PCR to check genomic contamination. Discarded previous dilutions so all DNased samples and dilutions have undergone 2 rounds of DNasing.
Repeated PCR identical to 10/26 with 2xDNased RNA (same layout, master mix, and cycling parameters). See sheet from 10/26/09.
October 26, 2009
Vibrio & CO2 challenged oysters: gDNA clean-up
Still evidence of contamination in Dnased samples from 10.23, but SW and MG say that is probably only detectable because did not dilute RNA template enough before PCR. Repeated protocol from 10.23 but used 5 uL of 1:20 dilutions of DNased RNA template. Master mix, plate layout, and cycling parameters here .
October 23, 2009
Vibrio & CO2 challenged oysters: gDNA clean-up
For each RNA sample, added either 10 or 5 uL RNA to 40 or 45 uL water. This was determined based on concentrations from the Nanodrop (see 10.7 and 10.15). Samples with concentrations >1 ug/mL were diluted 5 uL RNA in 45 uL water; samples with concentrations <1ug/mL were diluted 10 uL RNA in 40 uL water. The 10 uL samples were CO2 juv 1, CO2 juv 5, CO2 juv6, and cont juv 7. The rest were diluted 5 uL in 45 uL water. (All in 0.5 mL tubes.)
To the 50 uL diluted RNA, added 5 uL 10x TURBO Buffer (Ambion TURBO DNA free kit) and 1 uL TURBO DNase (2U). Mixed gently and spun down.
Incubated samples at 37 degrees C water bath for 30 minutes.
Added 5 uL DNase Inactivation Reagent to each tube (before adding, vortexed DIR to resuspend). Vortexed samples with DIR. Incubated at room temp for 2 minutes, vortexing twice during incubation. Centrifuged samples at 10000 xg for 1.5 minutes. Transferred RNA (supernatant) to clean tubes labeled with name of sample, "RNA", and "gDNA-free", date, and initials. After PCR, stored cleaned RNA at -80.
Prepared qPCR master mix with 18s gigas primers and performed qPCR following previous protocol as outlined here . (Only change is used 1 uL template instead of 5 uL, and 24 uL master mix per reaction.)

Vibrio & CO2 challenged oysters: RNA Extraction
Selected 4 juvenile whole body samples from Tim's experiment. 2 were challenged with 970 ppm CO2 and 2 were controls.
Tissue weights:
CO2 juv 5 0.17g 1 mL Tri
CO2 juv 6 0.38 g 2 mL Tri
control juv 7 0.16g 1 mL Tri
control juv 8 0.86g 4.5 mL Tri
Added 1/2 suggested Tri Reagent to each sample (volumes next to weights) and homogenized with tissue sonicator. Added 0.5 mL of homogenized tissue in 1/2 Tri to 0.5 mL Tri for 1 mL volume samples. Stored remaining tissue in 1/2 Tri in 15 mL Falcon tubes in -80.
Followed manufacturer's protocol for remaining RNA extraction.
During first spin (10000 rpm for 15 min at 4 degrees C) CO2 juv 5 and control juv 7 tubes shattered in rotor tubes. Removed samples from rotor, put in new falcon tubes and respun (will now be one step behind CO2 juv 6 and control juv 8). Continued in protocol for samples 6 & 8 (isopropanol step).
5 & 7 pellets are black, so probably no good but will continue extraction anyway.
Afters spec'-ing samples on Nanodrop, stored in -80. Labeled eppie tubes with sample name (as above), date, and RNA.

(For the most part I followed the manufacturer's protocol.)
Cleaned homogenizers before use. Transferred all tissue to 5 mL Tri Reagent (this is half the amount of total reagent that should be used for this amount of tissue). Homogenized tissue twice.
Transferred 3.5 mL of the homogenate to 3.5 mL of fresh Tri Reagent in clean tubes (remaining homogenate was stored in 50 mL Falcon tubes at -80). Thoroughly vortexed tubes and let sit for 5 minutes at room temperature.
Added 1.4 mL chloroform to 7 mL of Tri Reagent mixture. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temp.
Put 3.5 mL isopropanol in a clean tube and added aqueous (top) phase of Tri-mixture. Sample 27 had the least amount of aqueous phase and a very large interphase. Let sit for 10 min at room temp and centrifuged 12000xg for 8 min (SR did this part).
Decanted/removed all isopropanol and washed remaining pellet with 7 mL 75% EtOH. Centrifuged 5 min at 10000 rpm.
Removed EtOH with pipet and quickly centrifuged. Removed remaining EtOH with pipet and kimwipe. Let tubes air dry in hood for 5 minutes. All were dry except for 27.
Resuspended 21, 23, & 24 in 50 uL nuclease-free water (27 was left to dry longer). Measured RNA concentrations on the nanodrop (the "view report" function wasn't working so the following are approximate results):
#21 ~1600 ng/uL
#23 ~1400 ng/uL
#24 ~1400 ng/uL
27 was not completely dry, but consulted Sam and resuspended in 50 uL water followed by heating in water bath at ~55 degrees for 5 minutes. Its concentration was 176 ng/uL.
Stored extracted RNA in -80 in box labeled "Salmon Senescence".
