The goals of this study are to generate a reference transcriptome of Silurus asotus, to characterize sex specific gene expression patterns and to identify genes associated with gonad maturation.
Microsatellite-enriched library of Silurus asotus was sequenced. After the shotgun library preparation for next generation sequencing, we captured microsatellite-containing DNA fragments directly from
The Amur catfish (Silurus asotus), which exhibits a sexual dimorphism with female growth faster and bigger than male, is an economically important fish in Asia. The high-quality genome assembled in th
