Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Genes Involved in Oxidative Stress Responses of Scallop to PST-Producing Algae and a Candidate Biomarker for PST Monitoring.

The findings reveal the gene expression responses of scallop digestive glands to PST-producing algae and indicate that the C1QL4-1 gene might be a potential biomarker for PST monitoring in scallops, which may provide a convenient way for the early warning and sensitive detection of PST contamination in the bivalves.

Researchers relied on Countstar (model not specified) for cell-count measurements in the study's cell samples during sample-quality assessment.
