The most comprehensive annotation of the Krill transcriptome provides new insights for the study of physiological processes and environmental adaptation
Abstract:The krill species Euphausia superba plays a critical role in the food chain of the Antarctic ecosystem, as the abundance of its biomass affects trophic levels both below it and above. Major changes in climate conditions observed in the Antarctic Peninsula region in the last decades have the potential to alter the distribution of the krill population and its reproductive dynamics. A deeper understanding of the adaptation capabilities of this species, and of the molecular mechanisms behind them, are urgently nee… Show more
