Identification of testis-relevant genes from testes ESTs and cDNA microarray in the black tiger shrimp

ABSTRACT: Identification of testis-relevant genes using in silico analysis from testes ESTs and cDNA microarray in the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) A total of 4,803 ESTs from the testis library were unidirectionally sequenced and analyzed in silico using a customizable data analysis package, ESTplus. A total of 2,702 unique sequences from 424 contigs and 2,278 singletons were identified. Approximately, 1,134 sequences from the total of 2,702 unique sequences (contigs and singletons) are homologous to genes with known functions. Some of which (mago nashi, insulin-degrading enzyme, actin-depolymerizing factor) are related to testicular development in studies of other organisms. Moreover, the sequences were further characterized according to the gene ontology categories (41% biological proces
