CrusTome: a transcriptome database resource for large-scale analyses across Crustacea.

ABSTRACT: Transcriptomes from nontraditional model organisms often harbor a wealth of unexplored data. Examining these data sets can lead to clarity and novel insights in traditional systems, as well as to discoveries across a multitude of fields. Despite significant advances in DNA sequencing technologies and in their adoption, access to genomic and transcriptomic resources for nontraditional model organisms remains limited. Crustaceans, for example, being among the most numerous, diverse, and widely distributed taxa on the planet, often serve as excellent systems to address ecological, evolutionary, and organismal questions. While they are ubiquitously present across environments, and of economic and food security importance, they remain severely underrepresented in publicly available sequence dat
