Comparison of muscle structure and transcriptome analysis of eyed-side muscle and blind-side muscle in <i>Cynoglossussemilaevis</i> (Osteichthyes, Cynoglossidae).

ABSTRACT: Cynoglossussemilaevis (Osteichthyes, Cynoglossidae) is one of the most significant commercial marine fish species in China and has evolved a specialized asymmetrical body axis. In addition, C.semilaevis displays different muscle thickness between the eyed side and the blind side. However, the mechanisms underlying the muscle development difference between the two sides in C.semilaevis are unclear. In this study, we generated the first comparative investigation on the structure of muscle cells, and transcriptome analysis between the eyed-side muscle (ESM) and blind-side muscle (BSM) in C.semilaevis. Histological assays showed the obvious mosaic appearance of muscles on both the eyed side and blind side. However, the number of new muscle cells in ESM was significa
