Pseudo-albino and pigmented Solea senegalensis gut and skin transcriptomes and microbiomes

Pseudo-albinism is a complex condition, caused by a multitude of factors and negatively affecting flatfish aquaculture. The majority of studies focused on alterations in pigmentation, the most notable change in these animals. In this study, we investigated if pseudo-albinism in Solea senegalensis (Senegalese sole) could modify the microbiomes of two important innate immune barriers, the skin and intestine and described the structural and transcriptomics modifications in these tissues when compared with those of normally pigmented animals
