Transcriptome profiling of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) challenged with pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila

The present study aimed to generate information on transcriptome of pacuin face of A. hydrophila infection, and compare the transcriptomic responses between two groups of time-series belonging to a disease resistance challenge, peak mortality (HM) and mortality plateau (PM) groups of individuals. Nine RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) libraries were prepared from liver tissue of challenged individuals, generating ~160 million 150 bp pair-end reads.
