Metagenomic sequencing of pooled Pacific whiteleg shrimp from an inland farm in Urumqi, Xinjiang, China
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed on total nucleic acids from nine pooled hepatopancreas and muscle samples of farmed Pacific whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) collected from a commercial farm in Urumqi, Xinjiang, China, in July 2026. The study characterizes viral and bacterial taxa detected in the sample pools and supports genome analysis of Wenzhou shrimp virus 8.
