Transcriptomic analysis of liver responses to deltamethrin exposure in juvenile Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) (PRJCA050540)
This project investigates the hepatic transcriptomic responses of juvenile Chinese soft-shelled turtles (Pelodiscus sinensis) exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of the insecticide deltamethrin. Turtles were exposed for 28 days to three treatments: control (0 ?g/L; 0.01% DMSO), 0.6 ?g/L, and 6.0 ?g/L deltamethrin. Liver tissues were collected from three biological replicates per group for RNA extraction and sequencing. mRNA libraries were prepared using oligo-dT enrichment and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq platform (paired-end). The resulting data include raw FASTQ files and processed gene expression matrices. These transcriptomic data provide insights into molecular mechanisms underlying deltamethrin-induced hepatotoxicity and contribute to ecological risk assessment of pyrethroid pollutants in aquatic reptiles.
