Project description:Microarray analysis of the gill tissues of WSSV infected shrimp (P. monodon) at different time intervals 6 hrs, 24 hrs, 48 hrs and moribund stage of post WSSV infection was carried out to identify differentially expressed genes in response to WSSV infection. The shrimps in WSSV challenege experiment were challenged through intra muscular route with known concentration of virus. The important immune genes identified would be further characterized by sequence analysis and gene expression profile would be validated by real time PCR One-color experiment,Organism: Penaeus monodon, Custom Penaeus monodon (Black Tiger Shrimp) 8x60k designed by Genotypic Technology Private Limited (AMADID: 041733), Labeling kit: Agilent Quick-Amp labeling Kit (p/n5190-0442)

Project description:Comparisons of gene expression profiles from testis of wild and domesticated male brooders were made through a cDNA microarray in the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). Differentially expressed genes were identified through the microarray analysis, and the microarray results were confirmed by real-time PCR. Selected genes were further characterized.
Project description:Comparisons of gene expression profiles between ovaries of before (day 0) and after eyestalk ablation (days 1, 4 and 7) of domesticated 14-month-old black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) were made using a cDNA microarray. Differentially expressed genes were identified through the microarray analysis, and the microarray results were confirmed by real-time PCR. Selected genes were further characterized.
Project description:Comparisons of gene expression profiles between testis and ovary of juvenile and wild brooders were made through a cDNA microarray in the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). Differentially expressed genes were identified through the microarray analysis, and the microarray results were confirmed by real-time PCR. Selected genes were further characterized.
Project description:Comparisons of gene expression profiles in hepatopancreas and ovary of domesticated broodstock at different ovarian maturation stages were made through a cDNA microarray in the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). Differentially expressed genes were identified through the microarray analysis, and the microarray results were confirmed by real-time PCR. Selected genes were further characterized.
Project description:The study aimed to determine effect of polychaetes as a shrimp feed on male reproductive maturation at transcriptional level through a cDNA microarray in the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). Thus, the experiment was to compare transcriptomic profiles of two different parts of reproductive organs, namely testes (TT) and vas deferens (VD), of domesticated 17-month-old between two different feeds, namely commercial pellet and polychaetes after feeding for one month. Differentially expressed genes were identified through the microarray analysis, and the microarray results were confirmed by real-time PCR. Selected genes were further characterized.
Project description:Comparisons of gene expression profiles from testis of wild and domesticated male brooders were made through a cDNA microarray in the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). Differentially expressed genes were identified through the microarray analysis, and the microarray results were confirmed by real-time PCR. Selected genes were further characterized. A cDNA microarray was constructed from the EST libraries of P. monodon, consisting of 5,568 features. RNA samples were extracted from testes of pooled juveniles (4 month-old, pooled from n=114), broodstocks from West and East sides of Thailand, and domesticated broodstocks of 10-, 14-, and 18-month old. The RNA from testis of pooled juveniles was labeled with Cy3 dye as a reference and those of the broodstocks were labeled with Cy5 dye.
Project description:Cultured shrimp are continuously exposed to variable environmental conditions which are associated with stress and subsequent outbreaks of disease. To investigate the effect of environmental stress on Penaeus monodon gene expression, a 3853 random cDNA microarray chip was generated with clones originating from 6 stress-enriched hemocyte libraries generated by suppression subtractive hybridization and a normal hemocyte cDNA library. Changes in temporal gene expression were analyzed from shrimp exposed to hypoxic, hyperthermic and hypoosmotic conditions. 3.1% of the cDNAs were differentially expressed in response to at least one of the environmental stressors. 70% of the differentially expressed clones had no significant sequence similarity to previously known genes. Among those genes with high identity to known sequences, the most common functional groups were immune related genes and non-LTR retrotransposons. Hierarchical clustering revealed a set of cDNAs with temporal and stressspecific gene expression profiles as well as a set of cDNAs indicating a common stress response between stressors. Hypoxic and hyperthermic stressors induced the most severe short-term response in terms of gene regulation, and the osmotic stress had the least variation in expression profiles relative to the control. These expression data agree with observed differences in shrimp physical appearance and behavior following exposure to stress conditions. Keywords: stress response, shrimp, time series
