Full-Length Transcriptomes and Sex-Based Differentially Expressed Genes in the Brain and Ganglia of Giant River Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii.

ABSTRACT: Macrobrachium rosenbergii is an important aquaculture prawn that exhibits sexual dimorphism in growth, with males growing much faster than females. However, the mechanisms controlling these complex traits are not well understood. The nervous system plays an important role in regulating life functions. In the present work, we applied PacBio RNA-seq to obtain and characterize the full-length transcriptomes of the brains and thoracic ganglia of female and male prawns, and we performed comparative transcriptome analysis of female and male prawns. A total of 159.1-Gb of subreads were obtained with an average length of 2175 bp and 93.2% completeness. A total of 84,627 high-quality unigenes were generated and annotated with functional databases. A total of 6367 transcript factors and 6287
