Application of SSH and quantitative real time PCR to construction of gene expression profiles from scallop Chlamys farreri in response to exposure to tetrabromobisphenol A

► This study is the first to characterize molecular modulation in scallops response to TBBPA. ► Research results selected potential biomarkers for TBBPA pollution. ► The results could contribute to the construction of the first hard scallop microarray necessary for investigating gene expression on a larger scale.
