RNA-seq of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) liver sampled at various stages through smoltification

ABSTRACT: The anadromous Atlantic salmon undergo preparatory physiological transformations before seawater entry, referred to as smoltification. Little is known about the photoperiod-influence and genome regulatory processes driving smoltification such as the large scale changes in lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis in the developing smolt liver. To shed light on this, we performed a smoltification trial using contrasting photoperiod regimes and generate a transcriptome data from livers throughout smoltification and after seawater transfer. In this experiment two groups of Atlantic salmon were reared for a total of 46 weeks from the parr stage, through smoltification, and seawater transfer. After 21 week from first feeding, the experiment group was given artificial winter photoperiod (8 hours l
