De novo assembly and characterization of the Chinese three-keeled pond turtle (Mauremys reevesii) transcriptome: presence of longevity-related genes

Mauremys reevesii (Geoemydidae) is one of the most common and widespread semi-aquatic turtles in East Asia. The unusually long lifespan of some individuals makes this turtle species a potentially useful model organism for studying the molecular basis of longevity. In this study, pooled total RNA ext...
