Siamese fighting fish are notorious for their aggressiveness and males of this fish have been widely used to study aggression. However, an understanding of brain transcriptome signature associated with aggression in the context of male-male interaction in this fish remains to be understood. Herein, RNA-Seq transcriptome data from 37 brains samples collected at different fighting stages are described. These brain samples were collected before fighting (B), during fighting (D20 and D60), and after fighting (A0 and A30). The raw data were analyzed for differential gene expression using edgeR package in . A criterion of FDR cut-off ≤ 0.05 and an absolute fold change (FC) of 0 or greater were used to identify top upregulated and downregulated genes in fighting groups (D20, D60, A0, and A30) relative to non-fighting group (B). The data presented hereafter enable fundamental studies on genes and molecular events mediating aggressive behavior in this fish and will lay a valuable foundation for future research on the aggression of vertebrates
暹罗斗鱼以其攻击性而臭名昭著，这种鱼的雄性已被广泛用于研究攻击行为。然而，在这种鱼的雄雄互动背景下，与攻击行为相关的大脑转录组特征仍有待了解。在此，描述了来自在不同战斗阶段收集的37个大脑样本的RNA测序转录组数据。这些大脑样本是在战斗前（B）、战斗期间（D20和D60）以及战斗后（A0和A30）收集的。使用R中的edgeR软件包对原始数据进行差异基因表达分析。使用FDR截止值≤0.05和绝对倍数变化（FC）为0或更大的标准来鉴定战斗组（D20、D60、A0和A30）相对于非战斗组（B）中上调和下调的顶级基因。以下呈现的数据有助于对介导这种鱼攻击行为的基因和分子事件进行基础研究，并将为未来脊椎动物攻击行为的研究奠定宝贵的基础。
