Transcriptome

The transcriptome of Scutogyrus longicornis has been studied in 2022, and G-Protein-Coupled-Receptors (GPCRs) were described in detail in this species, together with those of another monogenean, the diplectanid Rhabdosynochus viridisi. These were the first two transcriptomes released for monogeneans of the subclass Monopisthocotylea.
