\"Transcriptome resources for two non-model freshwater crustacean species\" in Genomic Resources Notes accepted 1 October 2014 to 30 November 2014
收藏资源简介:
The aim of this study was to characterize the whole transcriptomes of two common Mediterranean freshwater crustaceans: the copepod Eucyclops serrulatus (Fischer, 1851) and the amphipod Echinogammarus veneris Heller, 1865. Whole transcriptomic approaches may assist in studying the response to environmental pollution of species with little or no available genomic information, allowing the identification of genes involved in adaptation processes to polluted environments that can be studied in expression profile variation at a later stage. Further studies based on our results may allow for a more comprehensive overview of how freshwater crustaceans react to specific stressors, both from surface and groundwater habitats, where sub-lethal concentrations of individual stressors may become harmful when combined.
本研究旨在解析两种常见地中海淡水甲壳动物的完整转录组:分别为桡足类(Copepod)*Eucyclops serrulatus*(Fischer, 1851)以及端足类(Amphipod)*Echinogammarus veneris* Heller, 1865。全转录组学研究方法可助力研究基因组信息匮乏或全无的物种对环境污染的响应,能够鉴定参与污染环境适应过程的相关基因,后续可通过表达谱变异分析对这些基因展开深入研究。基于本研究结果开展的后续研究,可更全面地阐明淡水甲壳动物对特定胁迫因子的响应机制——这些胁迫因子既存在于地表水生境,也存在于地下水生境,在该类生境中,单一胁迫因子的亚致死浓度在联合作用下可能产生毒害效应。
