Menidia estor De Novo Transcriptome

The use of continuous lighting is an increasingly common practice in teleost aquaculture to enhance somatic growth and delay the onset of puberty, however the molecular interplays of circadian disruption response that allows the growth and survival in fish are not well understood. The aim of this work is to generate De novo transcriptome assembly and differential gene expression analysis also is the first approach to understand these phenomena at metabolic level in the atherinopsid fish Menidia estor under continuous illumination

连续光照在硬骨鱼（teleost）养殖中已成为愈发普遍的实践方式，用于促进躯体生长并延缓青春期起始。然而，鱼类为实现生长与存活所必需的昼夜节律紊乱应答的分子互作机制，目前尚未得到充分阐释。本研究旨在开展从头转录组组装（de novo transcriptome assembly）与差异基因表达分析，这也是首次在代谢水平上解析连续光照条件下银汉鱼科（atherinopsid）鱼类Menidia estor出现上述生长与存活相关现象的分子机制。
