Differentially expressed genes in the pituitary of the Amazonian fish Arapaima gigas
Arapaima gigas, known as pirarucu, is one of the largest tropical freshwater fish and an icon fish species of the Amazon. Many studies on reproduction of A. gigas have been developed but a significant gap persists. To analyze the gene expression profile of A. gigas from wild stocks, four cDNA libraries from pituitary of young and adults of males and females were developed. Among the differentially expressed genes, 97...
