Gill Transcriptome Sequencing and De Novo Annotation of Acanthogobius ommaturus in Response to Salinity Stress.

ABSTRACT: Acanthogobius ommaturus is a euryhaline fish widely distributed in coastal, bay and estuarine areas, showing a strong tolerance to salinity. In order to understand the mechanism of adaptation to salinity stress, RNA-seq was used to compare the transcriptome responses of Acanthogobius ommaturus to the changes of salinity. Four salinity gradients, 0 psu, 15 psu (control), 30 psu and 45 psu were set to conduct the experiment. In total, 131,225 unigenes were obtained from the gill tissue of A. ommaturus using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform (San Diego, USA). Compared with the gene expression profile of the control group, 572 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened, with 150 at 0 psu, 170 at 30 psu, and 252 at 45 psu. Additionally, among these DEGs, Gene Ontolo
