Transcriptome of sexually dimorphic cypris larvae of the rhizocephalan barnacle Peltogasterella gracilis
Peltogasterella gracilis (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) is a crustacean parasite of hermit crabs (Paguridae). Here, we conducted a transcriptome analysis and compared the gene expressions of male and female cyprids to better understand their sexual differentiation and settlement processes.
