Comprehensive Transcriptome Study to Develop Molecular Resources of the Copepod Calanus sinicus for Their Potential Ecological Applications

Figure 1

Schematic presentation of the copepod Calanus sinicus transcriptome analysis. After sequencing, raw reads were trimmed by stripping the adaptor sequences and ambiguous nucleotides using SeqPrep and Sickle. De novo assembly was performed using Trinity. The assembled contigs were used for three separate analyses: (a) gene identification and annotation analysis; (b) pathway analysis; and (c) SSR and SNP screening and validation.
