Expression gene pattern during larval development and metamorphosis of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis, Kaup 1858)
The Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis, Kaup 1858) is a highly valued marine flatfish species in the fishery market. Its aquaculture faces several farming bottlenecks, such as reproduction and the quality of larvae and juveniles, which increase production costs.In this research, we focused on study specificaly the expression pattern of homeotic genes during larval and metamorphic development. For this purpose a RNA-seq approach was employed, and expression data for genes of interest were extracted from samples collected on different days after hatching, covering the main phases and stages of larval and metamorphic development.These data provide a valuable starting point for further studies to address the high incidence of skeletal abnormalities observed in both larval and metamorphic stages.
