RNA-Seq of Channa maculata: 29-day-old larvae
Total RNA was extracted from 15-day-old blotched snakehead (Channa maculata) larvae using TRIzol reagent. mRNA was purified using oligo(dT) magnetic beads, fragmented, and used for cDNA synthesis. The resulting libraries were prepared following Illuminas standard protocol and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6014 platform with paired-end reads.
