Genome-wide identification of MAPK gene family in turbot and their involvement in biotic and abiotic stresses response

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), a series of mitogen-activated protein kinases lying within MAPK cascade, unique to eukaryotes, which plays key roles in transducing upstream signals to the target proteins and thus induce various cellular responses. In the present study, we firstly identified and characterized SmMAPKs at genome-wide level systematically, then performed phylogenetic analysis and gene structure analysis. Finally, we investigated their expression patterns in diverse tissues and divergent functions on biotic and abiotic stresses response based on multiple RNA-seq datasets. Table_1 provides the detail information of RNA-seq datasets used for tissue expression analysis of MAPKs. Table_2 provides the detail information of RNA-seq datasets used for MAPKs expression analysis under biotic and abiotic stresses. Table_3 is the expression data of MAPKs in different tissues. Table_4 is the expression data of MAPKs under heat stress. Table_5 is the expression data of MAPKs under oxygen stress. Table_6 is the expression data of MAPKs under salinity stress. Table_7 is the expression data of MAPKs under pathogens (<em>Enteromyxum scophthalmi, Vibrio anguillarum, Megalocytiviru</em>) stress.
