Transcriptome analysis of different life-history stages and screening of male-biased genes in Daphnia sinensis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the life history of Daphnia, the reproductive mode of parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction alternate in aquatic ecosystem, which are often affected by environmental and genetic factors. Recently, the sex-biased genes are of great significance for clarifying the origin and evolution of reproductive transformation and the molecular regulation mechanism of sex determination in Daphnia. Although some genes on reproductive transition of Daphnia had been researched, molecular mechanism on the maintenance of sexually dimorphic phenotypes of Daphnia are still not well known, including differentially expressed genes in different life-history stages.

Results

In this study, four life-history stages of Daphnia sinensis, juvenile female (JF), parthenogenetic female (PF),
