Penaeid shrimp genome provides insights into benthic adaptation and frequent molting

The Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is an important aquaculture species and a promising model for crustacean biology. Here, the authors provide a reference genome assembly, and show that gene expansion is involved in the regulation of frequent molting as well as benthic adaptation of the s...
