The ridgetail white prawn, Exopalaemon carinicauda is an important cultured seawater species in China. As female E.carinicauda grows faster than males, it is significant to search for the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between males and females. However, there is no public available E.carinicauda genome data, and genes related to E. carinicauda sex differences are unclear. In this study, the transcriptome sequencing for...

Fenneropenaeus chinensis is a commercially cultured shrimp in China. F. chinensis adults show significant sexual dimorphism, with larger females than males. However, sex determination (SD) of F. chinensis has not yet been elucidated. Clarification of the sex-determining system of F. chinensis could enrich our knowledge of the sex differentiation mechanism in crustaceans and facilitate the study of sex-controlling technologies....
