Apteronotus leptorhynchus central nervous system transcriptome

he brown ghost knifefish (Apteronotus leptorhynchus) is a weakly electric teleost fish of particular interest as a model organism for a variety of research areas in neuroscience, including neurophysiology, neuroethology, and neurobiology. This versatile model system has been more recently used in the study of central nervous system development and regeneration during adulthood, as well as in the study of vertebrate aging and senescence. Presented here is a release of a de novo transcriptome assembly from Apteronotus leptorhynchus, providing a broad overview of RNA expressed in central nervous system tissue. The assembly, which includes substantial coverage of a wide variety of both protein coding and non-coding transcripts, will allow the development of better tools to understand the mechanisms underlying unique characteristics of the knifefish model system

棕幽灵刀鱼（Apteronotus leptorhynchus）是一种弱电硬骨鱼类，作为模式生物在神经科学诸多研究领域中备受关注，涵盖神经生理学、神经行为学与神经生物学等方向。这一多功能模式生物系统近年来被应用于成体中枢神经系统的发育与再生研究，同时也用于脊椎动物衰老及老化相关研究。本数据集公布了细吻裸背电鳗（Apteronotus leptorhynchus）的从头转录组组装（de novo transcriptome assembly）结果，全面呈现了其中枢神经系统组织中表达的RNA全貌。该组装对大量编码蛋白及非编码转录本均实现了充分覆盖，将助力开发更优质的研究工具，以解析该刀鱼模式系统独特性状背后的分子机制。
