Examining Effects of a Novel Estrogenic Perfluoro-alcohol, 1H,1H,8H,8H-Perfluorooctane-1,8-diol (FC8-diol), using the Fathead Minnow EcoToxChip

The Genome Canada funded EcoToxChip project has piloted development of a real-time PCR array format as a tool to support greater use of new approach methodologies in ecotoxicity testing. The present study applied the novel EcoToxChip technology to evaluate the expression of over 350 toxicologically-relevant gene targets in adult male fathead minnows that had been exposed to the estrogenic polyfluoroalkyl substance FC8-diol. The attached data files provide the raw data from the EcoToxChip platform, formatted for use with the EcoToxXplorer.ca and associated sample meta-data.
