Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Toxic and Non-Toxic Nassarius Communities and Identification of Genes Involved in TTX-Adaptation [PDF]

Toxins, 2020
Nassarius has caused serious people poisoning and death incident as a popular food due to tetrodotoxin (TTX) accumulation in their body. Understanding the genetic basis of tetrodotoxin (TTX) transformation and resistance in animals could lead to ...

Transcriptomics of the <i>Anthopleura</i> Sea Anemone Reveals Unique Adaptive Strategies to Shallow-Water Hydrothermal Vent. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The nonsymbiotic sea anemone Anthopleura nigrescens thrives in the extreme shallow‐water hydrothermal vents off Kueishan Island, Taiwan, where they represent some of the world's most extreme environments. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that genes involved in H2S homeostasis, stress resistance, and DNA repair are enriched in vent populations ...
