Project description:The objective of this study was to perform a detailed analysis of neuropeptides in A. japonicus by sequencing the transcriptome of neural tissue (circumoral nerve ring; CNR) and combining analysis of these sequence data with mass spectroscopic analysis of CNR extracts so that the structure of mature neuropeptides could be determined. Collectively, these data provide an important molecular basis for investigation of the physiological roles of neuropeptides in A. japonicus and other sea cucumber species.

Project description:Full-length transcriptome analysis of Marsupenaeus japonicus
Project description:In this study, we have performed Illumina based RNA sequencing to characterize the transcriptome and expression profiles of genes expressed in 5 tissues of P. japonicus. RNA sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly for P. japonicus resulted in a total of 135,235 unigenes with 78,794 (58.24%) unigenes being annotated using NCBI-nr database. Transcriptome profile and GO enrichment analysis for 5 tissues of P. japonicus showed that although each tissue was characterized by several unique unigenes with leaf showing the most unique unigenes among all, overall processes were evenly conserved across all tissues.
