A multi-tissue RNA-seq atlas of adult medaka (Oryzias latipes) under salinity and winter-summer sampling contrasts

An RNA-seq atlas covering 11 adult tissues in Oryzias latipes (strain d-rR/TOKYO) across salinity and winter–summer contrasts provides gene-level TPM/count matrices and tissue-specificity indices.

• Why it matters: The atlas addresses the need for a multi-tissue reference to study gene-expression plasticity under environmental variation, while enabling cross-species comparisons with human orthologs.
• What they did: They quantified 90 RNA-seq libraries against the medaka RefSeq transcript set (GCF_053564925.1), sampling one male and one female per condition and collecting ten tissues per individual.
• The result: The release includes differential expression tables for each tissue and contrast, plus an interactive browser, supporting hypothesis generation about plasticity and medaka–human expression comparisons.
