Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Process of Ovarian Development and Nutrition Metabolism in Chinese Mitten Crab, Eriocheir Sinensis.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian development is a key physiological process that holds great significance in the reproduction of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), which is an economically important crab species for aquaculture. However, there is limited knowledge for the regulatory mechanisms of ovarian development. To study the molecular mechanisms of its ovarian development, transcriptome analysis was performed in the ovary and hepatopancreas of E. sinensis during ovarian stages I (oogonium proliferation), II (endogenous vitellogenesis), and III (exogenous vitellogenesis). The results showed that 5,520 and 226 genes were differentially expressed in the ovary and hepatopancreas, respectively. For KEGG enrichment analysis, the differentially expressed genes in the ovary were significantly
