RNA-seq from the Heart of Sternoptyx diaphana
One whole individual of the species S. diaphana was collected during the Oceanographic Campaign Porcupine 2022, in the Atlantic Ocean at the coast of Ireland (51.1482, -14.6445), in September of 2022, at a depth of 730m. The individual was placed in RNAlater Solution at 4C for 24h, and after at -20c during the rest of the campaign. Once at the lab, the individual was dissected, tissues segregated, placed in individual tubes with RNAlater Solution and stored at -80C.  Total RNA extractions from the photophores, brain, heart and muscle were performed using the NZY Total RNA Isolation Kit from NZYTech, Lda  Genes and Enzymes, following the manufacturer's instructions.
