Silencing of the Vasa gene by RNA interference affects embryonic development and reproductive output in the sea louse Caligus rogercresseyi
2023-04-04
Abstract excerpt
The sea louse Caligus rogercresseyi is a major ectoparasitic copepod that causes significant economic losses in the salmon farming industry. Despite recent advancements, the mechanisms underlying germline and embryo development in this species remain poorly understood. The Vasa gene encodes a highly conserved DEAD-box helicase, that is required for germ cell formation and function in many species. In this study, t...
