Transcriptome Analysis in Tardigrade Species Reveals Specific Molecular Pathways for Stress Adaptations
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Tardigrades have unique stress-adaptations that allow them to survive extremes of cold, heat, radiation and vacuum. To study this, encoded protein clusters and pathways from an ongoing transcriptome study on the tardigrade Milnesium tardigradum were analyzed using bioinformatics tools and compared to expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from Hypsibius dujardini, revealing major pathways involved in resistance against...
