| Research Abstract |
Enchytraeus japonensis is a unique earthworm which undergo asexual and sexual life cycles. It can be a good experimental animal not only for regeneration but also differentiation. It is important to investigate and establish gene expression profiles throughout their life cycle. We constructed the cDNA Libraries from the regenerating and asexual mature worms in asexual cycle, and sequenced approximately 3800 clones. 236 sequences were found to be homologues to those from other species, and 32 sequences were unique to E. japonensisand other Oligochaeta species.
