63 Gene Expression in Disease Resistant oysters Crassostrea virginica Resistant and Naïve population Immune Related Genes Major Findings: Resistant population appeared to be ‘primed’ with higher level of baseline expression of genes prior to exposure

64 Nanostring Project Targeted methylation analysis nCounter system Methylation at 48 target genes About 30% of the targets performed well Major findings Identified first differential methylation between tissue types

65 Transgenerational Experiment Do methylation patterns persist across generations? Expsure to either: 5-azacytidine Vinclozolin Spawned and raised larvae Parents sampled: nanostring assay Growout Samples 18 months later (gametes) Findings: size difference, no meth difference by Nanostring
