Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Antithrombotic Genes in Five Sympatric Medicinal Leech Species (Genera Whitmania and Hirudo) (PRJCA046291)
This dataset originates from the raw data obtained from transcriptome sequencing conducted on five sympatric medicinal leech species (Whitmania pigra, Whitmania laevis, Whitmania acranulata, Hirudo nipponia, and Hirudo tianjinensis). The study aims to investigate interspecies differences in the gene expression profiles encoding antithrombotic components (anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, thrombolytic agents, anti-inflammatory agents, and tissue permeability substances). The results provide a systematic foundation for further evaluating the medicinal potential of different leech species and identifying key highly expressed antithrombotic genes. This not only offers molecular-level evidence for traditional medicinal knowledge but also establishes an important data foundation for the development of new antithrombotic drugs.
