Ironment and contact with host interface. Of the 184 expressed collagen genes in O. dentatum, 58% were highly transcribed in individual stages, indicating that collagens are expressed in waves coinciding with the four molts. This dynamic, development-related transcriptional profile for this relatively large complement of genes is consistent with previous studies in which numerous collagen …
