# Transcriptomic data sets for Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 transformant cells expressing mycosporine-2-glycine under salt stress conditions

## TL;DR

This study provides transcriptomic data from cyanobacteria expressing a specific amino acid under salt stress.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is transcriptomic profiling of cyanobacteria expressing mycosporine-2-glycine under salt stress.

## Key findings

- RNA sequencing was conducted on Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 transformant cells.
- Transcriptomic profiles were obtained under salt stress conditions.
- The data reveal gene expression changes when mycosporine-like amino acid pathways are expressed.

## Abstract

RNA sequencing was performed on Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 transformant cells expressing mycosporine-2-glycine under salt stress. The data provide global transcriptomic profiles of cyanobacteria when the mycosporine-like amino acid biosynthetic pathway is heterologously expressed.
