RNA-seq to investigate the genetic pathways in brain and melanocyte regeneration using a zebrafish model

Adult zebrafish can completely regenerate a wide range of injured organs including the CNS. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a high-throughput sequencing method facilitating transcript identification and quantification of gene expression in a precisely manner. Development of RNA-Seq technologies and their extensive data-analysis methods make investigation of regulatory genes and functional gene annotations possible under specific conditions. Here, we aim to perform a detailed investigation of the transcriptome data obtained from early and late stages of zebrafish brain and melanocyte regeneration samples.
