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.
