Integration of ATAC-seq and RNA-seq reveals signal regulation during post-molt and inter-molt stages in muscle of Eriocheir sinensis by Bin Wang, Bin Wang, Jingjing Li, Mingzhi Zhang, Mingzhi Zhang, Anqi Li, Zhentao Song, Zhentao Song, Zhen He, Zhen He, Ruiqi Zhang, Ruiqi Zhang, Tong Hao, Tong Hao, Jinsheng Sun, Jinsheng Sun

“…In all the enriched signaling pathways, GPCR signaling pathway includes the most differentially expressed genes (8 genes), which underlines its importance in the signal transduction from the post-molt stage to the inter-molt stage. Further protein structure analysis and RT-qPCR validation confirmed five GPCR genes related to molting process, in which four genes (GRM7, FMRFaR, mth2, gpr161) are active during the post-molt stage and one gene (moody) functions during the inter-molt stage.DiscussionThese findings highlight the key regulatory proteins and pathways involved in E. sinensis muscle during molting and also offer foundational data for studying the mechanisms of molting and discontinuous growth in crustaceans.…”
