Annotation to different databases of the 332 genes found to be ≥ 2-fold differentially expressed. Venn diagrams indicate the number of genes with a significant match to the sea bass genome, Swiss-Prot protein database or GeneBank protein database, the number of genes annotated by more than one database are inside the intersecting areas. The annotation was carried out in order of preference; 1) matches to Swiss-Prot, 2) matches to the sea bass genome and 3) Genbank matches as indicated by the colour shading. The areas of each sphere are proportional to the number of genes annotated.
