A male-derived non-ribosomal peptide pheromone controls female schistosome development II
ßAlanyl-tryptamine (BATT) is a peptide secreted by male S. mansoni upon pairing with a female parasite. Treatment of synthetic BATT on virgin females wihtout any pairing is sufficient to induce sexual development and egg depostiion. Overall design: RNA sequencing of virgin  female schistosome parasites after 8 days of culturing in ABC169 media supplemented with 5 µM BATT or ßAlanine
