Transcriptome profiling of claw muscle of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) at different fattening stages.

ABSTRACT: In crustaceans, muscle growth and development is complicated, and to date substantial knowledge gaps exist. In this study, the claw muscle, hepatopancreas and nervous tissue of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) were collected at three fattening stages for sequence by the Illumina sequencing. A total of 127.87 Gb clean data with no less than 3.94 Gb generated for each sample and the cycleQ30 percentages were more than 86.13% for all samples. De Bruijn assembly of these clean data produced 94,853 unigenes, thereinto, 50,059 unigenes were found in claw muscle. A total of 121 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were revealed in claw muscle from the three fattening stages with a Padj value < 0.01, including 63 genes with annotation. Functional annotation and enrichment analysis showed that t
