Microarray analysis of gene expression of Atlantic cod from different Baltic Sea regions. Microarray analysis of gene expression of Atlantic cod from different Baltic Sea regions

The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) is one of the most important species in the Baltic Sea with high ecological and economical value. To explore the differences in adaptation to salinity between Baltic cod from different regions, western (Kiel Bight) and eastern (Gdańsk Bay) samples were analyzed through oligonucleotide microarray. Overall design: Atlantic cod samples (n=8) were collected from two subdivisions: the Schleifjord, Kiel Bight (KIEL-18PSU) - SD22 and Gdańsk Bay (GDA - 8PSU) - SD 26. Gene expression changes in gills were assessed with 44 k oligonucleotide microarray
