Transcriptome analysis of female and male Sebastiscus marmoratus

The rockfish, Sebastiscus marmoratus,is widely distributed in the East Sea and the South Sea of China. Because these models are ovoviviparity and bottom-living fish. To gain a global view of the molecular mechanism(s) whereby gene expression may influence sexual dimorphism In Sebastiscus marmoratus and to develop a database for further toxicological studies, we performed high-throughput paired-end RNA-seq.
