Comparative gene expression responses to Babesia infection and oil contamination in a seabird
9 blood samples were collected from Common murres (Uria aalge) that were admitted to a wildlife hospital. Three samples were infected with Babesia (Babesia uriae), three birds were contaminated with oil upon sampling, and three were used as a control. RNA was extracted and sequenced, and used to analyze the whole transcriptome responses to each condition.
