Identifying the gene(s) that allow tigriopus californicus to survive under thermal stress
The copepod species, Tigriopus californicus, is one of the most thermally adaptable species in the biosphere. They have been found in tide pools from the coast of Alaska down to the coast of Southern California. However, as all other organisms have limits, the T. californicus are only able to tolera...

The copepod species, Tigriopus californicus, is one of the most thermally adaptable species in the biosphere. They have been found in tide pools from the coast of Alaska down to the coast of Southern California.

By comparing gene expression between specimens exposed to high temperatures and those expressed to optimal temperatures, we identified the genes responsible for conferring tolerance to increasing temperatures.
