Transcriptome analysis of five ovarian stages reveals gonad maturation in female Macrobrachium nipponense.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Macrobrachium nipponense is an economically important species of freshwater shrimp in China. Unlike other marine shrimps, the ovaries in adult female M. nipponense can mature rapidly and periodically during the reproductive period, but the resulting high stocking densities and environmental deterioration can negatively impact the harvest yield and economic benefits. To better understand ovary development in female M. nipponense, we performed systematic transcriptome sequencing of five different stages of ovarian maturation.

Results

We obtained 255,966 Gb of high quality transcriptome data from 15 samples. Of the 105,082 unigenes that were selected, 30,878 were successfully annotated. From these unigenes, we identified 17 differentially expressed genes and identifi
