Abstract:Background: The Asian buffalo leech Hirudinaria manillensis is a valuable animal widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to cure blood-clotting. However, although the content of the anticoagulant genes in H. manillensis were identified, their actual expression profile remains undetermined. Herein, in this study we conducted transcriptome analysis on this species to address this subject.Results: A high qualified accurate gene expression profile of H. manillensis transcripts was obtained. By identifying gene… Show more
