Although the expression of miRNAs has been widely applied to investigate on gonads, the role of miRNAs in the gonadal development of white Pacific shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) remains unknown. In this study, we performed high-throughput sequencing to identify the sex-related microRNAs (miRNAs) that elucidated the regulatory mechanisms on the gonadal differentiation of L. vannamei. We obtained a total of 29,671,557 and 28,526,...
