Stage-resolved ovarian transcriptome profiling of Penaeus penicillatus
This BioProject contains newly generated RNA-sequencing data from ovarian tissues of female Penaeus penicillatus collected in December 2024. Ovaries were classified into four developmental stages: previtellogenic, initial vitellogenic, advanced vitellogenic, and mature. Three biologically independent individuals were analyzed per stage, giving a total of 12 RNA-seq libraries. The dataset was generated to characterize stage-associated transcriptional changes during ovarian maturation and to support integration with independently generated proteomic, metabolomic, targeted steroidomic, and histological data from the same biological study. No raw sequencing reads, count matrices, expression values, or differential-expression results from previously published RNA-seq datasets were incorporated into this dataset. Previously published P. penicillatus sequence resources were used only as reference resources for sequence alignment, transcript identification, and functional annotation.
