Tissue and Life Stage Transcriptomes of the Australian Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium australiense)
As a model crustacean species, unlocking the molecular information stored in the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium australiense is extremely important not only for research completed on this species, but for crustacean research as a whole. We sequenced multiple tissues in order to better understand and build a molecular foundation for current and future crustacean work. The animals used were housed in a stable and natural freshwater environment to ensure that natural gene expression patterns were captured.
