Genome-wide identification and transcript profile of the whole cathepsin superfamily in the intertidal copepod Tigriopus japonicus

Identification and molecular characterization of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) gene in the intertidal copepod Tigriopus japonicus

“…Recently in T. japonicus, putative immune genes in the Rel/NF-κB signaling pathway and cathepsin superfamily were identified with their transcriptional responses to LPS and two Vibrio sp. in T. japonicus (Kim et al, 2014;Jeong et al, 2015a). Dorsal and dorsal-like genes were recently identified in the cyclopoid copepod Paracyclopina nana, and their mRNA expressions were analyzed in the innate immune response and under stressful conditions (Jeong et al, 2015b).…”
