Combinatorial metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis of muscle growth in hybrid striped bass (female white bass <i>Morone chrysops</i> x male striped bass <i>M. saxatilis</i>)
BMC GENOMICS, 25(1).
Understanding growth regulatory pathways is important in aquaculture, fisheries, and vertebrate physiology generally. Machine learning pattern recognition and sensitivity analysis were employed to examine metabolomic small molecule profiles and transcriptomic gene expression data generated from liver and white skeletal muscle of hybrid striped bass (white bass Morone chrysops x striped bass M. saxatilis) representative of the top and bottom 10 % by body size of a production cohort.
