Transcriptomic characterization of zebrafish larvae in response to lindane exposure.

Lindane is a highly toxic organochlorine pesticide and widespread in aquatic environment that can cause deleterious effects on fish. Although some lindane-regulated genes have been investigated in fish, the transcriptional responses of fish larvae to acute lindane exposure are not well understood. In this study, RNA sequencing was used to examine the transcriptional changes in developing zebrafish larvae under a low concentration of lindane exposure from 96 to 120hpf. Our resultes provide useful insights to help further understand the transcriptional response of zebrafish larvae under acute exposure to lindane.
