Using RNAseq for identifying hepatic genes involved in the response to chronic endocrine disruptor exposure in Xenopus tropicalis.

Xenopus tropicalis were exposed from seven-days-aged tadpoles to adult stage (one year) to benzo[a]pyrene, triclosan or a mixture of the two compounds at a weekly average concentration of 50 ng.L-1. After 12 months of exposure, 4 females by exposure conditions were used for studying liver transcriptome by RNAseq. RNA-seq libraries were sequenced on an illumina GAIIx sequencer as 75bp single reads.
