High-throughput sequencing technologies have been extensively applied to genetics and
breeding in the aquaculture industry. To date, many aquaculture animal genomes have …

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production sector in agriculture, with great potential
to meet projected protein needs of human beings. Aquaculture is facing several challenges …

The infraorder Brachyura (true or short-tailed crabs) represents a successful group of marine
invertebrates yet with limited genomic resources. Here we report a chromosome-anchored …

Molting is a critical developmental process for crustaceans, yet the underlying molecular
mechanism is unknown. In this study, we used RNA-Seq to investigate transcriptomic …

Characterization of dynamic DNA methylomes in diverse phylogenetic groups has attracted
growing interest for a better understanding of the evolution of DNA methylation as well as its …

Background. Neuropeptides are important regulators of physiological processes and
behavior. Although they tend to be generally well conserved, recent results using …

Crustacean culture has been developing rapidly in various parts of the world. Therefore, it is
important to understand their reproductive biology. Insulin-like androgenic gland hormone …

Abstract Background Mud crabs, Scylla spp., are commercially important large-size marine
crustaceans in the Indo-West Pacific region. As females have the higher growth rate and …

The doublesex and its homologue genes are important regulators of sexual differentiation
which are conserved among animal kingdom. In the present study, we reported a doublesex …

Background A high-density genetic linkage map is essential for QTL fine mapping,
comparative genome analysis, identification of candidate genes and marker-assisted …
