Project description:Transcriptional profiling of TGF-beta treated Schistosoma mansoni adult worms vs. Non-treated Schistosoma mansoni adult worms Two conditions (treated vs. Non-treated) with three biological samples of treated worms (TGF1, 4 and 5) and two biological samples of non-treated worms that were pooled into a single sample (pool). For each sample (three treated or polled non-treated) were performed four technical replicas
Project description:Transcriptional profiling using two subsequent developmental stages of Schistosoma mansoni (Egg vs. Miracidium; Cercaria vs. 7-days-old Schistosomulum; 7-days-old Schistosomulum vs. Adult worms
Project description:Schistosoma mansoni is a dioecious species, that is, it has two differentiated sexes. Interestingly, this sexual species evolved from a hermaphrodite ancestor. Indeed, most Platyhelminthes are hermaphrodites. Here we characterize the microRNAs of S. mansoni and quantify their differential expression between males and females.
