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: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 Two conditions experiment; Developmental Stage 1 vs. Developmental Stage 2
Project description:High throughput sequencing of different life cycle stages of Schistosoma mansoni to identify loci that are methylated and use the information to focus on regions of biological relevance related to development and control of disease.
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.
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
