Schisto-Databases

News_July 2017:

Based on an organ-isolation method we obtained gonad tissue for RNA extraction from paired and unpaired schistosomes, with whole adults included as controls. From a total of 23 samples, we used high-throughput cDNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) on the Illumina platform to profile gene expression between genders and tissues, with and without pairing influence. The data obtained provide a wealth of information on the reproduction biology of schistosomes and a rich resource for exploitation through basic and applied research activities.

To enable researchers getting access to the data for individual research purposes we published the data in the following journals:

Lu, Z., Sessler, F., Holroyd, N., Hahnel, S., Quack, T., Berriman, M., Grevelding, C.G. (2017) A gene expression atlas of adult Schistosoma mansoni and their gonads. Scientific Data (in press)

Lu, Z., Sessler, F., Holroyd, N., Hahnel, S., Quack, T., Berriman, M., Grevelding, C.G. (2016) Schistosome sex matters: a deep view into gonad-specific and pairing-dependent transcriptomes reveals a complex gender interplay. Scientific Reports 6: 31150.
