Investigation of Gene Sequence Divergence, Expression Dynamics, and Endocrine Regulation of the Vitellogenin Gene Family in the Whiteleg Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Investigation of Gene Sequence Divergence, Expression Dynamics, and Endocrine Regulation of the Vitellogenin Gene Family in the Whiteleg Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

In this report, we studied the vitellogenin gene family in the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei by transcriptomics, bioinformatics, and molecular biology methods. At least three moderately homologous vitellogenin (Vg) genes (i.e. LvVg1, LvVg2, and LvVg3) were identified in the genome. The deduce...
