Gene expression is a unique way of characterizing how cells and organisms adapt to
changes in the external environment. The measurements of gene expression levels upon …

The androgen 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a steroidogenic metabolite that has
received little attention in non-mammalian species. DHT is produced by the reduction of the …

The increased availability and use of DNA microarrays has allowed the characterization of
gene expression patterns associated with exposure to different toxicants. An important …

The new technologies for next-generation sequencing (NGS) and global gene expression
analyses that are widely used in molecular medicine are increasingly applied to the field of …

Ecotoxicogenomics might help solving open questions that cannot be answered by standard
ecotoxicity tests currently used in environmental risk assessment. Changes in gene …

Our understanding of the mechanisms underlying stress responses in fish remains
fragmentary. However, new insights into these mechanisms and their biological significance …

A novel custom microarray for largemouth bass (LMB) Micropterus salmoides was designed
with sequences obtained from a normalized cDNA library using the 454 Life Sciences GS …

The goal of this study was to identify a set of hepatic genes regulated by ligand-dependent
activation of the estrogen receptor in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). A …

Estrogenic effects triggered by androgens have been previously shown in a few studies.
Aromatization and direct binding to estrogen receptors (ERs) are the most proposed …

The lack of genomic resources for aquatic invertebrates restricts their use as sentinel
species in coastal environments. It is known that where genomic data are not available …
