Transcriptome and Metabolome Mapping of Transcripts and Metabolites over Different Brood Pouch Developmental Stages in Seahorses

(A) Illustration of unformed (UF), newly formed (NF), and pregnant (PG) brood pouches of seahorses. Two comparisons for the brood pouch formation and pregnancy are labeled. Principal-component analysis (PCA) for RNA-seq (B) and metabolome (C) data. Each point represents one biological replicate and points with different colors represent seahorses at different pouch developmental stages. Volcano plots showing the relative abundance of transcripts (D) and metabolites (E) in comparison for pouch formation and pregnancy. Important transcripts and metabolites are marked.
