Abstract excerpt
Echinolittorina snails inhabit the upper intertidal rocky shore and face strong selection pressures from thermal extremes and fluctuations. Revealing the molecular processes of adaptive significance is greatly obstructed by the scarcity of genomic resource for these taxa. Here, we reported the first comprehensive transcriptome dataset for the genus Echinolittorina. Using Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform, about 52 M...
