A crustacean vitellogenin-derived peptide as an oocyte-specific delivery vehicle for gene silencing
Gene silencing by dsRNA is well documented in crustaceans, but RNA interference (RNAi) in developing oocytes is yet to be achieved. The main obstacle to RNAi in the oocytes of oviparous animals derives from their protective layers, including the cytosolic membrane, the vitelline envelope, and a laye...
