Testicular transcriptome analysis of the Asian and the African catfish
De novo assemblies of testicular transcriptomes of the Asian catfish, Clarias batrachus and the African catfish, C. gariepinus, were performed to identify genes/factors related to testis. A total of 1,68,071 and 1,26,232 assembled transcripts with average lengths of 607 bp and 865 bp, were obtained from C. batrachus and C. gariepinus testicular transcriptomes, respectively and were annotated using different databases.
