Sampling of juvenile specimens for expression and regulation analyses
During the months of September and October, the sampling campaign of juvenile specimens (8 months old) from the Mediterranean lineages (ME and AD) and the Central European origin group was carried out at the Bagà hatchery, belonging to the Generalitat of Catalonia, and from the native Atlantic (AT) and Duero (DU) lineages at the O Veral and Goo hatcheries of the Xunta of Galicia.
The goal is to conduct expression studies using RNAseq and regulation studies with the analysis of methylation patterns at the genomic level (methylome) in two target tissues (i.e., muscle and liver).
