Abstract:
A method of biomonitoring marine water is provided, as are probes and kits. The method comprises: extracting messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) from Mytilus species; preparing cDNA from the mRNA; hybridizing a plurality of probes with the cDNA to provide a set of hybridized cDNA, the probes consisting of at least 20 consecutive nucleotides of at least 50 sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1-122; and quantifying an abundance of the set of hybridized cDNA, thereby biomonitoring marine water.
