Comparative transcriptomics reveals the immune dynamics during the molting cycle of swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus

Abstract excerpt

Molting is one of the most important biological processes of crustacean species, and a number of molecular mechanisms facilitate this complex procedure. However, the understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying crustacean molting cycle remains very limited. This study performed transcriptome sequencing in hemolymph and hepatopancreas of the swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) during the four molting...
