Paralychtys adspersus (Fine flounder) Transcriptome or Gene expression. Paralichthys adspersus strain:wild type

The fine flounder (Paralichtys adspersus) is a fish species distributed along the coasts of the Southeastern Pacific Ocean, which has been considered one of the endemic species of greatest farming potential in Chile. Despite his great qualities, this flat fish requires longer times to reach commercial size as a consequence of its slow growth rates limiting the establishment of production centers. At present, there are a few reported gene sequences of P. adpersus available in public databases but enough to establish a program of growth monitoring based on molecular markers. In order to identify genes involved in molecular endocrinology aspect of fine flounder growth, we performed skeletal muscle transcriptome sequencing with Illumina MiSeq.

细鲆（fine flounder, Paralichtys adspersus）是一种分布于东南太平洋沿岸的鱼类，被列为智利最具养殖开发潜力的特有物种之一。尽管该扁形鱼类具备诸多优良养殖性状，但其生长速率缓慢，需更长生长周期方能达到商品规格，这一特性制约了其规模化养殖生产基地的建设。目前，公共数据库中已报道的该物种基因序列数量有限，但已足够支撑基于分子标记的生长监测研究计划。为了筛选参与细鲆生长分子内分泌调控过程的相关基因，本研究采用Illumina MiSeq平台对其骨骼肌进行了转录组测序（transcriptome sequencing）。
