De novo assembly and annotation of the Pantranscriptome of Astyanax lacustris on the liver and pituitary-gonadal axis

Astyanax lacustris is a model native fish laboratory species. The reproductive studies of this species have already been performed. Nevertheless, there is relative shortcoming of gene sequence information available in public databases, which hinder their use in more comprehensive investigations that employ sensitive molecular biology techniques to assess, for example, gene expression profile for biomarker identification. In this study, we report the first de novo transcriptome of A. lacustris testicle, ovary and male / female pituitary gland with the aim of improving gene sequence data available for this fish species and transcriptome of male liver.
