Project description:We performed extensive transcriptome analysis of the tiger pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes) using the next-generation sequencer SOLiD III, and profiled millions of small RNA sequences in somatic tissues and gonads, as well as identifying thousands of miRNAs. The number of miRNAs identified was the highest in fish species reported to date. We also report highly variable isomiR features.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of Takifugu obscurus (?) × Takifugu rubripes (?) was sequenced and characterized in this study. The hybrid mitochondrial DNA, with a total length of 16,443?bp, contain 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs genes, and 2 rRNA gene. There are two noncoding regions: the origin of light-strand replication (OL) and control region (D-loop). The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of T. obscurus (?) × T. rubripes (?) provides data for studies on genetic diversity and species identification among Takifugu.
