Importance of organism and transcriptomes	Karenia brevis is a planktonic dinoflagellate that produces harmful algal blooms almost every year in the Gulf of Mexico. Most strains of K. brevis produce a suite of toxic compounds including brevetoxins (2 main backbone types, PbTx-1 and -2) that are potent neurotoxins. The dominant life history stage of dinoflagellates is haploid, and the sexual stages and resting cysts (if any) are not well known for K. brevis. Most clonal cultures of K. brevis produce ~10-20 pg brevetoxin per cell and this is mostly PbTx-2 (90% of total toxin). The SP1 clone produces extremely low levels of brevetoxin (or, none). The toxin synthesis pathway and the function of brevetoxin in K. brevis is not known, therefore transcriptome data for SP1 clone in comparison with data from other clones (such as SP3, which produces mostly PbTx-1 and Wilson, which produces consistly high levels) will be informative. The comparative approach is valuable as no experimental genetic system (e.g. knock-out mutants) is available.
