Comparing Transcriptomes Reveals Key Metabolic Mechanisms in Superior Growth Performance Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

ABSTRACT: Metabolic capacity is intrinsic to growth performance. To investigate superior growth performance in Nile tilapia, three full-sib families were bred and compared at the biochemical and transcriptome levels to determine metabolic mechanisms involved in significant growth differences between individuals under the same culture environment and feeding regime. Biochemical analysis showed that individuals in the higher growth group had significantly higher total protein, total triglyceride, total cholesterol, and high- and low-density lipoproteins, but significantly lower glucose, as compared with individuals in the lower growth group. Comparative transcriptome analysis showed 536 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were upregulated, and 622 DEGs were downregulated. These genes were significan
