RNA expression and disease tolerance are associated with a “keystone mutation” in the ochre sea star <i>Pisaster ochraceus</i>

2017-05-24

Abstract excerpt

An overdominant mutation in the elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1A) gene in the sea star Pisaster ochraceus has shown itself to mediate tolerance to "sea star wasting disease", a pandemic that has significantly reduced sea star populations on the Pacific coast of North America. Here we use RNA sequencing of healthy individuals to identify differences in constitutive expression of gene regions that may help explain t...
