description: This sample represents RNA that was used for an RNA-seq experiment comparing heart transcriptomes from seven different species (white shark, shortfin mako, great hammerhead, yellow stingray, swordfish, ocean surgeonfish, and hogfish). This project was conducted to compare elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) to teleost fishes while also looking to see whether there are genes under convergent evolution or expression patterns in three regionally endothermic species (white shark, shortfin mako, and swordfish) relative to strictly ectothermic fishes (hogfish, ocean surgeonfish, great hammerhead, and yellow stingray).
