Project description:Identification and expression profiling of microRNAs in brain, liver and gonads of marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) by Illumina small RNA Sequencing
Project description:Hypoxia is amongst the most widespread and pressing problems in aquatic environments. For the first time, we demonstrate that fish (Oryzias melastigma) exposed to hypoxia show reproductive impairments in F2 generations despite these progenies (and their germ cells) having never been exposed to hypoxia. We further show that the observed transgenerational reproductive impairments are associated with a differential methylation pattern of specific genes in sperm of both F0 and F2.
