The power of next-generation sequencing as illustrated by the neuropeptidome of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii

Highlights • Fifty-eight neuropeptide precursors are present in the Procambarus transcriptome. • It has three neuroparsins and two neuroparsin receptors that are widely expressed. • It has a crustacean female sex hormone ortholog that is expressed in the ovary. • RNAseq data suggests significant exp...

More Information
Summary:Highlights • Fifty-eight neuropeptide precursors are present in the Procambarus transcriptome. • It has three neuroparsins and two neuroparsin receptors that are widely expressed. • It has a crustacean female sex hormone ortholog that is expressed in the ovary. • RNAseq data suggests significant expression of pigment dispersing hormones in ovaries. • Putative hyperglycemic hormone receptors are expressed in the hepatopancreas.
