Abstract excerpt
The complex molecular systems involved in the process of sex-differentiation and fertility in Schistosoma mansoni have not yet been completely described. Using a 4608-element cDNA microarray, we have now determined 90 and 139 genes with significantly (q-value</=0.06) higher expression levels in adult males and females, respectively. Eight out of eleven (73%) selected transcripts had their differential expression...
