More Information
Summary:Although cartilaginous fishes have played crucial roles in various fields, including evolutionary biology, marine ecology, bioresources, and aquarium exhibitions, molecular information for these species is poorly available. The present study reports a transcriptome assembly from an embryo of the zebra bullhead shark ( Heterodontus zebra ), produced by paired-end RNA sequencing. Transcriptome data is generated with a de novo transcriptome assembler, Trinity. Amino acid sequences are predicted from the assemblies, using TransDecoder. Because cartilaginous fishes serve as the outgroup of bony vertebrates, the data would contribute to comparative analyses of a various biological fields. In addition, this study would be useful for conservation biology, such as transcriptome-based population genetics.
