Comparative transcriptome analyses reveal the acute heat stress response of a cool-temperate shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis.

Temperature is a critical environmental factor in ecosystems, and understanding the integrated response of different tissues to heat stress is essential for elucidating the study, we conducted a comparative transcriptome analysis of three tissues, hepatopancreas, gill, and muscle, of the Chinese shrimp (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) under heat stress conditions. The results reveal that the three tissues exhibit distinct gene expression patterns, which may imply a certain degree of interaction or coordination among them. Specifically, under heat stress, genes related to amino acid synthesis and utilization were down-regulated in both hepatopancreas and gill, leading to the inhibition of various metabolic pathways including carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleic acid metabolism.

Molecular mechanisms of Mmd2 gene in regulating growth of the Pacific white shrimp .

Coding Genes Helped the Origination and Diversification of Intragenic MicroRNAs.

Noncoding microRNAs tend to evolve within introns of coding genes that provide them with transcriptional opportunity. As an outcome of natural selection, the intragenic position of microRNAs is crucial for their expression, evolution, and functional cooperation with the host gene. Therefore, understanding the evolution of intragenic microRNA structures may bring novel insights into genetic and phenotypic evolution.
