Coordinated microRNA/mRNA expression profiles reveals unique skin color regulatory mechanisms in Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus)

To investigate the molecular mechanisms of skin pigmentation in Andrias davidianus, we performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of skin samples from 2 different wild type Andrias davidianus and 2 different albino type Andrias davidianus. Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for wild type and albino type Andrias davidianus.
