Shrimp, like other invertebrates, relies solely on its innate immune system, to combat
invading pathogens. The invertebrate immune system has ancient origins that involve …

Abstract Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei Boone, 1931 and Penaeus monodon Fabricius,
1798 provide 87% of the world's farmed marine shrimp, and 99% with another five species …

Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) are of particular economic importance to the
global shrimp aquaculture industry. However, limited genomics information is available for …

We report on the construction of sex-specific high-density linkage maps and identification of
sex-linked markers for the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). Overall, we identified 44 …

Transcriptome sequencing using Illumina RNA-seq was performed on populations of black
tiger shrimp from India. Samples were collected from (i) four landing centres around the east …

Growth is a priority trait from the point of view of genetic improvement. Molecular markers
linked to quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been regarded as useful for marker-assisted …

Abstract The Pacific whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, is the most farmed aquaculture
species worldwide with global production exceeding 3 million tonnes annually. Litopenaeus …

We assessed correlations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the actin and
crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) genes with individual growth performance in …

A preliminary low-density linkage map (ShrimpMap) based solely on simple sequence
repeats (SSRs) or microsatellite genetic markers was constructed for specific pathogen-free …

Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are a source for microsatellite development. In the present
study, EST-derived microsatelltes (EST-SSRs) were generated and characterized in the …
