Sequencing and de novo analysis of the Litopenaeus vannamei transcriptome. Litopenaeus vannamei transcriptome

In the present study, the Illumina sequencing method was used to analyze the transcriptome of L. vannamei challenged with WSSV. 52,073 unigenes were assembled by 25.81 million clean reads. The large scale data will provide a good foundation for further research into the new gene discovery, genetics, genomics and even proteomics of shrimp.
