Liver transcriptome analysis of juvenile largemouth bass under lead exposure by RNA-seq

We sequenced mRNA from 9 liver samples of juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) taken from different lead concentration exposure treatment fish and control fish to investigate the transcriptome and comparative expression profiles of largemouth bass liver undergoing lead exposure. Overall design: Liver mRNA prolfiles of control group (L0), low lead concentration exposure group (17.8 mg/L) (L2) and high lead concentration exposure group (100 mg/L) (L5) were generated by RNA-seq, using Illumina HiSeq 2000.
