description: Mercury is a widespread toxicant in aquatic environment that can cause deleterious effects on fish. Although a number of mercury-regulated genes have been investigated in adult fish, the transcriptional responses of fish embryos to acute mercury exposure are not well understood. In this study, RNA sequencing was used to examine the transcriptional changes in developing zebrafish under a low concentration of mercury exposure from 24 to120 hpf. Our resultes provide useful insights to help further understand the transcriptional response of zebrafish embryos under acute exposure to mercury.
