Characterization and Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes Involved in Thermal Adaptation of the Hong Kong Oyster Crassostrea hongkongensis by Digital Gene Expression Profiling

Thermal exposure of sessile marine animals inhabiting estuarine intertidal regions is a serious concern with respect to their physiological processes. Organisms living in this region can be exposed to high temperature (>40°C) during the low tide, which may affect the survival of these organis...
