Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas) data from a 2016 cohabitation experiment testing the infectious nature of Puffy Skin Disease (PSD). The dataset contains skin metatranscriptomes from naïve diploid and triploid rainbow trout that developed PSD clinical signs after exposure to affected fish collected from the field.
Use Cases
- Identify potential pathogens based on metatranscriptomic profiles from infected skin tissue.
- Compare host immune responses between diploid and triploid fish cohorts mentioned in the experiment.
- Analyze microbial community shifts associated with PSD clinical signs after cohabitation exposure.
Strengths
- Data originates from a controlled cohabitation experiment designed to test a specific hypothesis.
- Includes samples from both diploid and triploid fish, allowing for comparative analysis.
Limitations
- Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
