Chromatin Landscape During Skeletal Muscle Differentiation.

abstract：:Alternative splicing (AS) can enhance transcript diversity dramatically and play an important role in stress adaptation. Limited researches of AS have been reported in the Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), which is an important aquaculture species in the world. Here, we performed a genome-wide identificatio...
