Antarctic Krill Gonad mRNA Transcriptome
RNA was extracted from pooled gonad tissues and tails of five sexually mature males and females, respectively, originating from the krill aquarium at the AAD in Tasmania, Australia. For RNA extractions, RNeasy mini kits (QIAGEN) were used and total RNA (8 micrograms each) was sent to Geneworks, South Australia (www.geneworks.com.au), for Illumina TruSeq 75 bp paired-end sequencing in two technical replica.

- Purpose
- The Antarctic krill Euphausia superba is one of the world's most abundant animal species and is a crucial component of the Southern Ocean food web where it provides the major energy source for most larger predators such as seals, whales, penguins, squid and fish. The mechanisms for determining the sex of Antarctic krill are not known. A range of potential mechanisms exist, ranging from strict genetic control by chromosomal inheritance to several possible environmental controls or combinations of genetic and environmental controls. The sex ratio of krill populations is known to vary among areas and age classes. Sex ratios in krill reaching reproductive maturity are a factor influencing potential population growth, so determining the mechanisms responsible for initial development into either sex is important for understanding the population dynamics of this important animal.
