Global expression pattern of genes containing positively selected sites in European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus L.) may shed light on teleost reproduction.

ABSTRACT: European anchovy is a multiple-spawning and highly fecundate pelagic fish with high economic and ecological significance. Although fecundity is influenced by nutrition, temperature and weight of spawners, high reproductive capacity is related to molecular processes in the ovary. The ovary is an essential and complex reproductive organ composed of various somatic and germ cells, which interact to facilitate the development of the ovary and functional oocytes. Revealing the ovarian transcriptome profile of highly fecundate fishes provides insights into oocyte production in teleosts. Here we use a comprehensive tissue-specific RNA sequencing which yielded 102.3 billion clean bases to analyze the transcriptional profiles of the ovary compared with other organs (liver, kidney, ovary, testis, fi
