ABSTRACT: Transcriptomic analysis of Reishia clavigera to organotins reveals the tissue-specific molecular responses associated with imposex development
Project description:Consecutive sexual maturation (CSM), an abnormal reproductive phenomenon of a marine snail, Reishia clavigera, has occurred since 2017 in the vicinity of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after the nuclear disaster there. To determine the molecular basis for CSM, we conducted transcriptome profiling in the ganglia of normal and CSM snails.
