Project description:Suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH) libraries of Schistosoma japanicum female and male worms were constructed by using Clontech PCR-selectTM cDNA subtraction kit. S.japonicum cDNA microarrays were fabricated using female and male cDNA clones originating from SSH libraries. female-associated and Male-associated differentially expressed gene clones were obtained, Analysis of gender-associated differentially expressed genes helps to determine which genes are important to sexual maturation of schistosome and better understand schistosome biology and host-parasite relationship, facilitate the discovery of novel gene products that could represent targets for the development of new drugs and vaccines to control chitosomiasis. Keywords: gender-associated
Project description:Analysis of differentially expressed gene of different parasite stage helps to determine which genes are likely to be the key players in transition through a developmental stage, thus help to further understand schistosome biology and host-parasite relationship, facilitate the discovery of novel gene products than could represent targets for the development of new drugs and vaccines to control schitosomiasis.Samples were analyzed at cercariae, egg and adult worm stage. Keywords = Schistosoma japonicum Keywords = different development stage Keywords = differentially expressed gene Keywords: time-course
Project description:Genome-wide transcriptome analysis revealed extensive alternative RNA splicing in gene expression in the zoonotic parasite Schistosoma japonicum
