Gene expression analyses of the ovaries in black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) for reproductive trait using reference genome

Abstract

The black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is widely cultured in Vietnam and worldwide. Broodstock source for post-larval production still relies on the wild shrimps due to their higher reproductive quality in comparison with the domesticated broodstock. The aims of the current study were to analyse differential gene expression in the ovaries of black tiger shrimp between the stages of reproductive maturation using the reference genome-based approaches and to compare the results generated by these approaches...
