In Silico Identification of the Laccase-Encoding Gene in the Transcriptome of the Amazon River Prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862). [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
Background: Macrobrachium amazonicum is an opportunistic and omnivorous species that primarily feeds on plant material. Recent studies have shown that Endo-β-1,4-glucanase and Endo-β-1,4-mannanase are expressed in the transcriptome of adult specimens, while juveniles are capable of digesting nutrients from purified cellulose in their diet. In organisms

Identification and Validation of Tissue-Specific Housekeeping Markers for the Amazon River Prawn <i>Macrobrachium amazonicum</i> (Heller, 1862). [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
Background/Objectives: The selection and validation of species-specific housekeeping genes (HKGs) have become increasingly common in functional genomics, with application of quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) or cDNA-based qPCR (RT-qPCR). Despite the Macrobrachium amazonicum having RNA-seq studies available, there are still no data on the ...
