megalobrama amblycephala RNA-seq

Blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala), Labeoninae, Cyprinidae, Megalobrama, is a typic herbivorous cyprinid fish species with an annually production of 700,000 tones in China. In the present study, transcriptomic was applied to investigate thegene expression profiles in muscle tissue of M. amblycephala from four groups, including 1-year-old immature females, 2-year-old immature females, 2-year-old mature females and successfully spawned females after using artificial hormones.
