Abstract:Background: Daphnia (Brachiopoda, Cladocera) is a well-studied model organism providing unparalleled opportunity to test epigenetic regulation of predator avoidance mechanisms in aquatic ecosystems. The discovery of regulatory functions for microRNA molecules and recently described miRNA profiles of Daphnia make it an ideal system to probe for posttranslational regulatory mechanisms mediated by kairomone released by predatory fish. However, despite a number of studies that focused on mRNA transcript level diff… Show more
