Comparative transcriptomics suggest unique molecular adaptations within tardigrade lineages

Abstract Background Tardigrades are renowned for their ability to enter cryptobiosis (latent life) and endure extreme stress, including desiccation and freezing. Increased focus is on revealing molecular mechanisms underlying this tolerance. Here, we provide the first transcriptomes from the heterot...
