Project description:In this study, we attempt to characterize the transcriptomic profile of the Asian seabass brains collected from the male and female sexes. The objective is to identify genes that show sexually dimorphic expression in the brain of this species. For this experiment, Asian seabass were collected from the Marine Aquaculture Center of the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore. There were no treatments carried out in this experiment. Four brains from adult male seabass (5 years old) with M3-type testis and four brains from adult female seabass (5 years old) with F3-type ovaries were used in this experiment. (Gonads were examined by histology and classified according to sexual maturation status as described by Guiguen and colleagues (Guiguen et al. Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1994)).

Project description:In this study, we attempt to characterize the transcriptomic profile of the Asian seabass gonads at various developmental stages. The protandric Asian seabass or barramundi (Lates calcarifer) typically matures as a male at approximately 2–4 years of age and then changes sex to a female in later years. For this experiment, Asian seabass of several ages were collected from the Marine Aquaculture Center of the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore and from farms around Singapore. There were no treatments carried out in this experiment. The gonads were examined by histology and classified according to sexual maturation status as described by Guiguen and colleagues (Guiguen et al. Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1994). Altogether, we analyzed 22 gonadal samples that could be classified into six different types of gonads.
