SRP309222 PRJNA706530 Flesh coloration on Atlantic salmon We compared Illumina TruSeq kit, the standard RNA-Seq and Lexogen QuantSeq kit, the 3 mRNA-Seq method for an Atlantic salmon flesh color investigation. Firstly, QuantSeq was used to compare differentially expressed genes between four different flesh color phenotypes. To confirm the results and to analyze whether there are any differences between TruSeq and QuantSeq, TruSeq was used on two chosen sample subsets from two flesh color phenotypes.
