Transcriptome profiling of environmental relevant concentration (22 ng/L) of nano-Palladium on Danio rerio

The effects of nano-palladium (22 ng per L) in zebrafish, Danio rerio was determined using transcriptome sequencing. The purity of mRNA from the nano-Pd exposed fishes were checked and the processed reads were mapped with the reference genome of Danio rerio. Around 66612 genes were expressed in Treatment I with respect to the total reads. Based on the genes expressed, the comparison of Control vs Treatment I observed of 2738 genes that were significantly expressed with 819 up-regulated and 1919 down-regulated genes. The up-regulation and down-regulation of the genes were evident that the nano-Pd can affect the physiological and endocrine functions of zebrafish.
