From the Amazon: A comprehensive liver transcriptome dataset of the teleost fish tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum
2019
Abstract The teleost fish tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum , is a valuable resource for the Brazillian aquaculture sector, representing more than one-quarter of the total production. In this context, the development of molecular tools is paramount to address and improve productivity, nutrition, and genetic breeding programs. In this study, we applied RNA-seq technology to produce the first comprehensive liver transcriptome in this species. Our analysis generated a gold standard transcriptome with a total of 43,098 transcripts, with an N50 of 1855 bp and the average length of 1312 bp. To functionally annotate the transcripts, the Trinotate pipeline together with several public databases were scrutinized. The blast-x analysis revealed more than 40,000 homologous match hits for each database (NCBI-Nr, Uniref90, Swissprot, Trembl), while the Kaas web server allowed the mapping of our transcripts to 380 kegg pathways. The dataset provided in this study entails a comprehensive molecular resource, which will be instrumental to further develop tambaqui aquaculture, specifically in the field of nutrigenomics.
