Comparative profiling of the transcriptional response to infection in two species of Drosophila by short-read cDNA sequencing.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Fish scales are an important reservoir of calcium and phosphorus and together with the skin function as an integrated barrier against environmental changes and external aggressors. Histological studies have revealed that the skin and scales regenerate rapidly in fish when they are lost or damaged. In the pre...
