Differential transcriptomes of developing zebrafish embryos from commencement to completion of gastrulation. Differential transcriptomes of developing zebrafish embryos from commencement to completion of gastrulation

We report differential transcriptomes of zebrafish embryos at 6 and 10 hours post fertilization. Specifically, we note a dramatic shift in the expression of genes involved in cellular metabolism from 6 to 10 hours post fertilization. This result may explain at least in part why metabolic demand of developing embryos at the examined stage is sharply increased. Overall design: Comparison of mRNA profiles of zebrafish embryos between 6 and 10 hour post fertilization by deep sequencing
