RNA sequencing in the freshwater planarian Dugesia ryukyuensis
RNA sequencing was performed to analyse gene expression patterns associated with the sexualisation process in the freshwater planarian Dugesia ryukyuensis. Six different groups of individuals were used in this study: (1) Individuals at 0 days post-sexualisation, (2) Individuals at 3 days post-sexualisation, (3) Individuals at 1 week post-sexualisation, (4) Individuals at 2 weeks post-sexualisation before the point of no return, (5) Individuals at 2 weeks post-sexualisation after the point of no return, (6) Individuals at 3 weeks post-sexualisation. All individuals were fed chicken liver as their diet for at least one year prior to the start of the experiment.  Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
