Completion of project sampling campaigns for gene expression and regulatory analysis
During September and October, the sampling of adult specimens (1+, 20 months old) was carried out for the Mediterranean lineages (ME and AD) and the hatchery Central European group at the Bagà Ichthyological Center, managed by the Government of Catalonia, and for the native Atlantic lineage (AT) at the O Veral Ichthyological Center, managed by the Regional Government of Galicia. Unfortunately, no samples were obtained from the Duero lineage (DU) due to technical issues at the Goo Ichthyological Center, also managed by the Regional Government of Galicia, where this lineage is kept in captivity.
The goal is to conduct expression studies using RNA-seq and regulatory studies through the analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation patterns (methylome) in two target tissues (i.e., muscle and liver).
