Project description:RNA-seq provided a general overview of the gene expression profiles of the digestive glands of Mactra veneriformis exposed to 2, 2′,4,4′-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47, a type of widely used brominated flame retardants).
Project description:Analysis of developmental toxicity of environmental toxin 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) at the level of gene expression. Dams of Wistar rats were exposed to environmentaly relevant doses of BDE-47 at gestation and lactation. Gene expression in total brains and frontal lobes was analysed in offspring on postnatal day 10.
