Comprehensive transcriptome analysis of somatic and gonadal tissues for identification of sex-biased genes in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Key Points

• Sex-biased genes were identified through comprehensive transcriptome analysis of somatic and gonadal tissues.
• The analysis revealed distinct gene expression patterns associated with male and female spotted scat.
• This investigation employed high-throughput sequencing technologies to assess gene expression variability.
• Findings may enhance the understanding of sexual differentiation mechanisms in aquatic species.
