RNA sequencing describes both population structure and plasticity-selection dynamics in a non-model fish.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Messenger RNA sequencing is becoming more common in studies of non-model species and is most often used for gene expression-based investigations. However, the method holds potential for numerous other applications as well-including analyses of alternative splicing, population structure, and signatures of selection. To maximize the utility of mRNA data sets, distinct analyses may be combined such as by...
