mRNA profile provides novel insights into stress adaptation in mud crab megalopa, Scylla paramamosain after salinity stress [PDF]
Background Mud crab, Scylla paramamosain, a euryhaline crustacean species, mainly inhabits the Indo-Western Pacific region. Wild mud crab spawn in high-salt condition and the salinity reduced with the growth of the hatching larvae.

Comparative transcriptome, digital gene expression and proteome profiling analyses provide insights into the brachyurization from the megalopa to the first juvenile in Eriocheir sinensis [PDF]
Eriocheir sinensis larva normally experiences 11 stages. The reduced abdomen folded beneath the thorax is the most prominent characteristic of morphological alteration from megalopa to juvenile crab.

Relating differential gene expression and genomic analyses to functional adaptation at various developmental stages of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus [PDF]
Background The blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, exhibits a pelagic, planktonic larval, and benthic post-larval form before molting into a juvenile reminiscent of the adult body plan. This study examined the expression profile and genomic structure for key
