Project description:Toxic chemical contaminants have variety of detrimental effects on various species and the impact of pollutants on ecosystems has become an urgent issue. However, very limited species have been examined to date and those studies are mainly limited to vertebrates. In this study, we aimed to establish an ecotoxicogenomic bases for Daphnia magna. Based on a daphnia EST database, we made oligonucleotide-based DNA microarray that has high reproducibility. The DNA microarray was applied to evaluate gene expression profiles of daphnid exposed to chemicals. Characteristic gene expression patterns depending on chemicals indicate that the Daphnia microarray can be used for mechanistic understanding of chemical toxicity. Although acute toxicity test or reproductive toxicity test can provide hazardous concentrations of chemicals, they give no information about mode of action. Our study can be a breakthrough for the evaluation of chemical toxicity on environmental organisms. Keywords: Chemical response
Project description:Comparison of female and male Daphnia magna gene expression with age. The sexes in Daphnia magna are genetically identical. The aim of this study was to identify possible differences in gene expression between genders with age.
