3.5 Transcriptome data analysis
We found there were 8,108 tissue-specific expression genes in theC. sonnerati genome, based on the detailed analysis of
transcriptome data from 11 tissues of C. sonnerati (Figure 6).
Interestingly, the tissue-specific expression genes were highly enriched
in the brain of C. sonnerati , which was different from the
results of the expanded gene families enrichment analysis in theC. sonnerati genome. These tissue-specific expression genes were
annotated to the KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway
database for functional analysis. The results showed that
these genes mainly consisted of
complement and coagulation cascades, DNA replication, synaptic vesicle
cycle, long-term potentiation, and other glycan degradation.
