摘要: The regeneration-capable flatworm Macrostomum lignano is a powerful model organism to study the biology of stem cells in vivo. As amenable transgenesis, it complements historically used planarian models, such as Schmidtea mediterranea. However, information on transcriptome and markers M. limited. We generated de novo assembly performed first comprehensive characterization gene expression proliferating lignano, represented by somatic cells, called neoblasts, germline cells. Knockdown selected set neoblast genes, including Mlig-ddx39, Mlig-rrm1, Mlig-rpa3, Mlig-cdk1, Mlig-h2a, confirmed their crucial role for functionality neoblasts during homeostasis regeneration. signatures will be valuable resource future molecular studies lignano.
