Laboratory data for experimental exposure of Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea (Magallana) gigas) to Ostreid herpesvirus (OsHV-1) in 2016

Laboratory data for experimental exposure of 1,000 Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea (Magallana) gigas) to Ostreid herpesvirus (OsHV-1) in 2016 for the purpose of collecting survival vs mortality and viral load data to estimate heritability of resistance to Ostreid herpesvirus (OsHV-1) using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of the challenged oysters.

The dataset take the form of:

  • Quantitative PCR (qPCR) data for Pacific oysters challenged with OsHV-1. V-
    iral load was measured in viral copies per mg of tissue, AND the raw data is CT (cycle threshold) values.
  • Survival and mortality data for the disease challenge, and the position of each oyster within the challenge system
  • Disease challenge parameters, including feeding, temperature and water quality measurements
  • Illumina MiSeq derived sequencing data produced from a single oyster experimentally infected with OsHV-1
