RNA sequencing provides insights into the effect of dietary ingestion of microplastics and cadmium in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

IntroductionMicroplastics (MPs) and cadmium (Cd) are persistent pollutants in aquatic environments. Sea cucumbers are susceptible to MPs and Cd due to their feeding behavior.MethodsThis study, based on Illumina sequencing, compared the transcriptomes of A. japonicus before and after Cd and/or MPs ex...
