Transcriptome
The transcriptome of Scutogyrus longicornis has been studied in 2022, and G-Protein-Coupled-Receptors (GPCRs) were described in detail in this species, together with those of another monogenean, the diplectanid Rhabdosynochus viridisi.[2] These were the first two transcriptomes released for monogeneans of the subclass Monopisthocotylea.[2]
