Our main interest is to study the potential impacts on reproduction, immune response and detoxification capacity.</p> https://genomicafuncional.cicese.mx/en/project/nsubno/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://genomicafuncional.cicese.mx/en/project/nsubno/ <p>This project proposes an intensive, multi-scale, multi-response study of the impacts of temperature variability on the lion&rsquo;s pawn <em>Nodipecten subnodosus</em>, a marine ectotherm for which we have physiological and genetic information, to understand how variability shapes and limits the adaptability of populations and the phenotypic plasticity and fitness of individuals.</p> https://genomicafuncional.cicese.mx/en/project/sosf/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://genomicafuncional.cicese.mx/en/project/sosf/ <p>This project is being funded by the [Save Our Sears] Foundation (<a href="https://saveourseas.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://saveourseas.com/</a>) in collaboration with the [Centro Intersciplinario de Ciencias del Mar] (<a href="https://www.cicimar.ipn.mx/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.cicimar.ipn.mx/</a>) at the city of La Paz, B.C.S.</p> <p>The present proposal aims to investigate the gastrointestinal microbiome in a pelagic shark and a benthic ray, contrasting a site with high levels of heavy metal contamination and two sites with low levels of anthropogenic impact along the Baja California Peninsula. The microbiome plays a fundamental role in the physiology and well-being of the host by influencing nutrient absorption, energy metabolism, regulation of reserves and enhancing protection against pathogens and environmental contaminants. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate whether the most polluted habitat induces negative alterations (dysbiosis) in the diversity of the microbiome.</p> <p><a href="https://saveourseas.com/project/gut-feeling-the-impact-of-heavy-metals-on-shark-microbiomes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Go to project page</a></p> https://genomicafuncional.cicese.mx/en/project/metabar/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://genomicafuncional.cicese.mx/en/project/metabar/ <p>El subproyecto “Diversidad de Ictioplancton y Zooplancton en el Golfo de México” formo parte de la Línea 2 del <a href="https://cigom.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CIGOM</a>. En este subproyecto se utilizaron herramientas moleculares de alto potencial (secuenciación masiva de genes marcadores) para establecer una línea base de la diversidad de organismos en el Golfo de México.</p> https://genomicafuncional.cicese.mx/en/project/microrna/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://genomicafuncional.cicese.mx/en/project/microrna/ https://genomicafuncional.cicese.mx/en/project/omaya/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://genomicafuncional.cicese.mx/en/project/omaya/ <p>The Mayan octopus <em>Octopus maya</em> is an endemic species of economic importance and with aquaculture potential. Being an ectothermic organism, temperature plays a fundamental role in its reproductive success. Therefore, this project aims to understand the role that the various glands play in the regulation of reproductive success and how temperature affects their regulation.</p>
