Single‐cell sequencing (SCS) technology has revolutionized the study of cellular heterogeneity by enabling the exploration of biological processes at high resolution. While traditionally applied to mammalian models, recent advancements have extended SCS to ecologically and evolutionarily crucial lower vertebrates (particularly fish) and diverse invertebrates (including Urochordata, Echinodermata, Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Coel...

Genomic resources are increasingly being used to improve the production efficiency and profitability of aquaculture. Crustaceans are a large group of invertebrates that encompasses some of the most important farmed species in the aquaculture industry. However, very few crustacean genomes have been published although an aquaculture genome project was proposed as early as 1997. Breakthroughs in next‐generation and third‐generati...
