Results
In this study we performed transcriptome sequencing of individuals from
two ecotypes of stickleback (saltwater and freshwater) being exposed to
abrupt changes in salinity compared to their native environments. To
investigate their overall response, we analysed four different
comparisons (outlined in Table 1): one for each ecotype, one between
ecotypes in their control experimental salinity and one aimed at finding
transcripts that were equally expressed within ecotype regardless of
salinity, through gene expression patterns.
