Full genome survey and dynamics of gene expression in the greater amberjack Seriola dumerili.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Teleosts of the genus Seriola, commonly known as amberjacks, are of high commercial value in international markets due to their flesh quality and worldwide distribution. The Seriola species of interest to Mediterranean aquaculture is the greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili). This species holds great potential for the aquaculture industry, but in captivity, reproduction has proved to be challenging, and observed growth dysfunction hinders their domestication. Insights into molecular mechanisms may contribute to a better understanding of traits like growth and sex, but investigations to unravel the molecular background of amberjacks have begun only recently.

Findings

Illumina HiSeq sequencing generated a high-coverage greater amberjack genome sequence comprising 45
