Transcriptomic information of the optic gland in Octopus maya male and female

In a global warming scenario, the increase in the temperature of the ocean could have a negative effect on the reproductive performance of O. maya. The octopus' optic glands control many life-history events and processes like sexual maturation, reproductive behavior, feeding, parental care, and aging. This study aims to describe the optic gland genes which are involved in the regulation of reproduction and the effect of thermal stress on the expression levels of these genes.
