Integrated Analysis of mRNA and miRNA Associated with Reproduction in Female and Male Gonads in Abalone (<i>Haliotis discus hannai</i>).

ABSTRACT: Reproduction and breeding are crucial to maintaining abalone aquaculture. Understanding the molecular underpinnings of sexual maturation is essential for advancing knowledge in reproductive biology. However, the molecular mechanisms of gonadal development in abalones remain poorly understood, particularly in microRNA (miRNA)-mediated regulation. Thus, this study conducted a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of abalone Haliotis discus hannai (H. discus hannai) to identify genes and miRNAs associated with ovarian and testicular discovery. This study identified 685 differentially expressed (DE) genes between the H. discus hannai ovary (DD_ovary) and testis (DD_testis) groups, comprising 479 upregulated and 206 downregulated genes in the DD_ovary. Moreover, 137 miRNAs,
