RNA-seq data from Ecklonia radiata exposed to combined temperature and CO₂ treatments

This dataset contains raw RNA sequencing reads from juvenile Ecklonia radiata (Laminariales) collected from Coal Point, Tasmania, and used in a controlled laboratory experiment examining the effects of temperature and elevated CO₂ on gene expression. Individuals were exposed to three temperatures (6, 16, and 26 °C) under two CO₂ levels: current (~420 µatm) and future (~1000 µatm), representing RCP 8.5 projections. Total RNA was extracted from blade tissue and sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform to produce 150 bp paired-end reads. The dataset includes raw FASTQ files from 30 biological samples (n = 5 per treatment combination) used for transcriptomic analyses investigating the molecular responses of E. radiata to ocean warming and acidification.
