De novo transcriptome assembly of a lipoxygenase knock-down strain in the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia arenysensis

<p>We generated knock-down mutants for the LOX gene of&nbsp;the diatom&nbsp;<em>Pseudo-nitzschia arenysensis</em> to alter the synthesis of oxylipins and functionally investigate the mechanism of action of these metabolites in diatoms (as described in Sabatino et al., New Phyt. (2021) <a href="https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/nph.17739">doi: 10.1111/NPH.17739</a>). Here, we present the&nbsp;<em>de novo</em> assembly&nbsp;of&nbsp;RNA-seq data obtained both from the silenced and wild-type <em>P. arenysensis&nbsp;</em>strains and the related functional classification of the transcript sequences (Marotta et al., Sci Data. submission #SDATA-23-01949, in revision)</p>
