title: RNA-Seq from Mesodinium chamaeleon
organism: Mesodinium chamaeleon
description: Mesodinium chamaeleon is a mixotrophic ciliate that steals plastids, mitochondria, and nuclei from its cryptophyte prey. It is functionally intermediate between the obligately phototrophic M.rubrum/major complex and the heterotrophic M. pulex. RNA-Seq was performed to understand the molecular interactions between host and stolen organelles and how these interactions compare to M. rubrum/major.
