An improved transcriptome annotation reveals asymmetric expression and distinct regulation patterns in allotetraploid common carp.

ABSTRACT: In allotetraploid common carp, protein-coding homoeologs presented divergent expression levels between the two subgenomes. However, whether subgenome dominance occurs in other transcriptional and post-transcriptional events remains unknown. Using Illumina RNA sequencing and PacBio full-length sequencing, we refined the common carp transcriptome annotation and explored differences in four transcriptional and post-transcriptional events between the two subgenomes. The results revealed that the B subgenome presented more alternative splicing events, as did lncRNAs and circRNAs. However, the expression levels, tissue specificity, sequence features, and functions of lncRNAs and circRNAs did not significantly differ between the two subgenomes, suggesting a common regulatory mechanism shared by t
