title: C acidophila 3h after Cd exposure
design: We used Illumina short read sequencing followed by de novo assembly to build the transcriptome of Chlamydomonas acidophila, a green alga living in extreme habitats. The assembled transcripts were annotated functionally and classified in functional Gene Ontology groups. Transcriptomic expression was measured before and after Cd exposure in this and the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii from the same genus
