Differentially expressed genes related to visual and nonvisual opsins, thyroid hormone, and retinoic acid in the eye across stages of smoltification. The dataset lists comparisons where the last-mentioned stage is the control, with up- or downregulation reflecting the first stage. It was authored by Mariann Eilertsen and last updated on May 21, 2026.
Use Cases
- Identify gene expression changes during smoltification based on stage comparisons.
- Analyze the role of thyroid hormone signaling in eye development based on differentially expressed genes.
- Investigate the influence of retinoic acid on opsin expression during a developmental transition.
- Compare regulatory patterns of visual versus nonvisual opsins during a physiological process.
Strengths
- Data is focused on a specific biological process (smoltification) with a clear statistical threshold (adjusted p-value < 0.05).
- The comparison logic is explicitly defined in the description, clarifying control and experimental stages.
- The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The dataset is very small (12.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
