Novel molecular techniques, such as next-generation sequencing, are used to measure gene expression after exposure to a certain stimulus. Data using these gene expression techniques are highly accurate, sensitive and generate transcriptional profiles from species including humans, fish and crustaceans. This book includes transcriptomic studies of non-infectious and infectious diseases affecting humans and environmental and physiological correlates affecting shrimp and fish aquaculture. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students interested in one of the various research areas transformed by transcriptomics, including human disease, fish and crustacean physiological, environmental and farming issues. Key Features Documents the utility of next-generation sequencing and RNA-seq to a wide array of aquatic environmental and physiological issues as well as to human health Provides insights into the ways transcriptomics can contribute to the understanding of various research subjects such as aquatic animals, fish ecology and human diseases Presents an account of the evolution of the techniques used to determine the transcriptome in crustacean aquaculture Describes the mechanisms of genetic interactions between different pathogens and the human host and their effects modifying gene expression levels
