The aim of this study was to provide a survey of
the ABC transporter gene family of Daphnia pulex. A complete
or close to complete list of ABC transporters in Daphnia
will facilitate the identification of genes that play a role
during the adaptation of Daphnia to environmental toxicants.
Furthermore, ABC genes have been suggested as
biochemical factors contributing to the phenomenon of
resistance against chemotherapeutics in parasites [22,26]
and insects
