Transcriptomic analysis of early stages of intestinal regeneration in Holothuria glaberrima

Abstract Echinoderms comprise a group of animals with impressive regenerative capabilities. They can replace complex internal organs following injury or autotomy. In holothurians or sea cucumbers, cellular processes of intestinal regeneration have been extensively studied. The molecular machinery be...
