This study investigated the potential synergistic interactions between Pb and Cd, and assessed the contribution of transporter gene expression to the synergism. Mice were administered varying doses of Pb (15, 30 and 108 mg kg −1 ) or Cd (1, 2 and 3 mg kg −1 ), or a combination of both in the feed. Liver, kidney and bone samples were analyzed for Cd, Pb, Cu, Mn, Zn and Fe concentrations. For treatments exhibiting synergistic ef...

The green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), a widely distributed species, plays a crucial role in maintaining the marine ecosystem. However, studies on C. mydas require accurate and comprehensive genome annotation information. Long-read direct transcriptome data of C. mydas were obtained using direct RNA sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) platform from blood tissue of a single captive individual. A total of 4061 n...

The Yellow River Estuary and its adjacent waters serve as crucial spawning, foraging, and nursery areas for marine organisms, possessing abundant biological resources. Monitoring fish communities provides a baseline for implementing the sustainable utilization of marine resources. In this study, data were collected from 15 spring surface and bottom sites and 17 summer surface sites using eDNA and trawl surveys. The results sho...
