Sequencing and characterization of the transcriptome of half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis).

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) is a valuable fish for aquaculture in China. This fish exhibits sexual dimorphism, particularly different growth rates and body sizes between two genders. Thus, C. semilaevis is a good model that can be used to investigate mechanisms responsible for such dimorphism, this model can also be utilized to answer fundamental questions in evolution and applied...
