Article Synopsis
- Ocean acidification (OA) from increased carbon dioxide is changing the carbonate chemistry of seawater, negatively impacting marine calcifying organisms and their early life stages.
- Using single-embryo RNA sequencing on sea urchins, researchers examined gene expression shifts due to OA at both individual and family levels.
- The study found that both pH levels and paternal identity significantly influenced gene expression variations related to metabolism, biomineralization, and development, providing insight into the organisms' evolutionary potential under environmental stress.
