Differential gene expression during the moult cycle of Antarctic krill (<it>Euphausia superba</it>)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>All crustaceans periodically moult to renew their exoskeleton. In krill this involves partial digestion and resorption of the old exoskeleton and synthesis of new cuticle. Molecular events that underlie the moult cycle are poorly und...
