Transcriptome of the distal late segment of the zebrafish mesonephros

We aimed to gain insights into the evolutionary origin of genetic mechanisms of NaCl handling. To this aim, we obtained transcription profilings in the zebrafish distal late (DL) segment, the equvalent segment of the mammalian distal convoluted tubules that play a critical role in NaCl homeostasis. We compared the transcriptomes from DL segments and the rest of the mesonephros isolated from transgenic zebrafish expressing mCherry in the DL segments.
