Transcriptomics from Aquatic Organisms to Humans

Next Generation Sequencing and RNAseq are powerful tools for studying aquatic environmental and physiological issues, as well as human health. They can help us understand the transcriptomics of aquatic animals and fish ecology, the evolution of crustacean aquaculture techniques, and the mechanisms of genetic interaction between pathogens and the human host.

Aquatic environments and physiological processes, as well as human health, are extensively studied using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and RNAseq technologies. This research offers valuable insights into various aspects of aquatic ecosystems and their inhabitants. Transcriptomics, the study of animal and fish transcriptomes, plays a crucial role in understanding human diseases. By analyzing the genetic information of aquatic animals, researchers can gain a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying diseases that affect humans. Furthermore, transcriptomics can help identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for human diseases.

The evolution of techniques used to determine the transcriptome in crustacean aquaculture is also discussed. Crustaceans are important aquaculture species, and understanding their genetic makeup is essential for improving their productivity and disease resistance. NGS and RNAseq technologies have revolutionized the study of crustacean transcriptomes, providing detailed insights into their genetic diversity, gene expression, and metabolic pathways.

Genetic interactions between different pathogens and the human host are another important area of study. These interactions can modify gene expression levels and have significant effects on human health. By understanding these mechanisms, researchers can develop new strategies for preventing and treating infectious diseases.

This research is intended for undergraduate and graduate students interested in subjects related to physiology of aquatic animals, aquaculture, ecology and phylogeny of fishes, and human health. The comprehensive coverage of these topics provides students with a solid foundation for understanding the complex dynamics of aquatic ecosystems and their impact on human well-being.
