Lateolabrax japonicus (sea bass).

Fish immunogenetics has received considerable attention due to its essential role in understanding the origin and evolution of immune systems [-].

Bacteria-challenged versus mock.

Further, it is also beneficial in the creation of immune-based therapy of severe fish diseases.
Read passages in the original paper

What they did

RNA-seq of head kidney/spleen from bacteria- versus mock-challenged fish; assembled immune transcripts.

What they found

Large transcriptome with many immune effectors and pathway annotations (hepcidin, lysozyme, RAG).

The limits

What it doesn't show

Homology-based pathway calls; not a vaccine efficacy trial.

Key terms

Head kidney
Teleost immune organ.
Innate immunity
Rapid non-adaptive defense.
Hepcidin
Antimicrobial peptide.
RAG
Recombination-activating genes.
DGE
Digital gene expression.
Teleost
Bony fish.
