Defense mechanisms of Takifugu fasciatus in fatty liver adaptation and tetrodotoxin resistance
The goal of this project is to investigate the tissue-specific transcriptional landscape and identify key genes involved in lipid metabolism in the obscure pufferfish (Takifugu fasciatus). We performed eukaryotic reference-based transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) on four tissues (liver, muscle, lipid, and skin) from T. fasciatus, with three biological replicates per tissue. This dataset provides a valuable resource for understanding the molecular basis of lipid metabolism and deposition in pufferfish.
