Abstract

Correction: Transcriptome Profiling of Testis during Sexual Maturation Stages in Eriocheir sinensis Using Illumina Sequencing

Highlights

  • The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) (Henri Milne Edwards 1854) is one of the most important aquaculture species in China and has high commercial value as a food source [1]

  • Based on our E. sinensis expressed sequence tags (ESTs) libraries, we have focused on studying the expression levels of many reproduction or immune related genes in different tissues and different developmental stages in specific tissues, including leptin receptor [10], selenoprotein M [11] and cathepsin L [12], that will help us to better understand their functions

  • In this report we present a comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome generated from E. sinensis and provide a general view of the potential molecular mechanisms involved in male reproduction for this species

Summary

Introduction

The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) (Henri Milne Edwards 1854) is one of the most important aquaculture species in China and has high commercial value as a food source [1]. In this report we present a comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome generated from E. sinensis and provide a general view of the potential molecular mechanisms involved in male reproduction for this species This analysis was based on construction of an annotated testis transcriptome library by de novo assembly of hundreds of millions of short raw DNA reads generated from high-throughput technology (Illumina/Solexa) without prior genomic sequence information. Global approaches of this type can pave the way to development of a more complete understanding of the complex gene and protein networks that drive the biological and reproductive processes of spermatogenesis
