Abstract
The genus Notacanthus comprises worldwide distributed bathypelagic deep-sea fish species. Despite several interesting ecological traits and their interesting phylogenetic position as relatives of eels, no transcriptomic, genomic, or proteomic resources are currently available. Here, we present a brain and eye transcriptome for two different notacanthid species: the shortfin spiny eel Notacanthus bonaparte (Risso, 1840) and N. arrontei (Bañón et al., 2024). Functional annotation of the transcripts is also provided. These novel datasets will be valuable for future studies on notacanthid fish and the deep-sea bathypelagic fish community.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes papers on all functional and evolutionary aspects of genes, chromatin, chromosomes and (meta)genomes of marine (and freshwater) organisms. It deals with new genome-enabled insights into the broader framework of environmental science. Topics within the scope of this journal include:
• Population genomics and ecology
• Evolutionary and developmental genomics
• Comparative genomics
• Metagenomics
• Environmental genomics
• Systems biology
More specific topics include: geographic and phylogenomic characterization of aquatic organisms, metabolic capacities and pathways of organisms and communities, biogeochemical cycles, genomics and integrative approaches applied to microbial ecology including (meta)transcriptomics and (meta)proteomics, tracking of infectious diseases, environmental stress, global climate change and ecosystem modelling.
