RNA-seq of gill in sivler carp

As an economically and ecologically important fish, silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) shows poor environmental hypoxia tolerance and often inevitably contributes to a loss of aquaculture production. Gill is the first tissue attacked by hypoxia, however, gill of H. molitrix response to hypoxia stress at the tissue, cellular, as well as molecular levels has not been clearly established. Gill transcriptomic analysis could reveal the changes in key genes and regulatory networks in response to hypoxia conditions.
