Article Synopsis
- Hypoxia is a major stress factor in shrimp farming, and this study investigates the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the hypoxic stress response of the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei.
- Through small RNA sequencing, researchers identified 3324 known miRNAs and 8 potential new ones, with 1213 miRNAs showing significant changes in expression under hypoxia, particularly those known to aid in hypoxia tolerance.
- The up-regulated miRNAs are thought to play a crucial role in regulating genes related to hypoxia adaptation, highlighting their importance in processes like gene transcription, cytoskeleton remodeling, and immune defense.
