Abstract

A total of 21,026 differentially expressed genes were identified between cold-tolerant and cold-sensitive shrimp under varying temperatures.

  • Transcriptomic analysis was conducted on two shrimp cultivars, cold-tolerant Guihai 2 and cold-sensitive Guihai 1.
  • 84.5 Gb of sequencing data led to the assembly of 143,029 unigenes, with 34.08% annotated in the Nr database.
  • Significant enrichment of KEGG pathways related to lysosome, sphingolipid metabolism, and nitrogen metabolism was observed in cold-tolerant GH2 under cold stress.
  • Eight key differentially expressed genes were selected for further validation using quantitative real-time PCR.
  • This research provides a comparison of gene expression changes in response to cold stress between the two shrimp cultivars.
