Crustaceans are a diverse and ancient group of arthropods that have long been studied as interesting model systems in biology, especially for understanding animal evolution and physiology and for environmentally relevant studies. Like many model systems, advances in DNA-sequencing methodologies have led to a large amount of genomics-related projects. The purpose of this article is to highlight the genome projects and functional genomics (transcriptomics) projects that are currently underway in crustacean biology. Specifically, we have surveyed the amount of publicly available DNA sequence data (both genomic and EST data) across all crustacean taxa for which a significant number of DNA sequences have been generated. Several ongoing projects are presented including the ecology of invasive species, thermal physiology, ion and water balance, ecology and evolutionary biology, and developmental biology.
甲壳动物是一类多样且古老的节肢动物,长期以来一直被作为生物学中有趣的模式系统进行研究,特别是用于了解动物进化和生理学,以及与环境相关的研究。与许多模式系统一样,DNA 测序方法的进步导致了大量与基因组学相关的项目。本文的目的是强调甲壳动物生物学中正在进行的基因组项目和功能基因组(转录组学)项目。具体来说,我们调查了所有甲壳动物分类单元的公开可用 DNA 序列数据(基因组和 EST 数据),这些分类单元已经生成了大量的 DNA 序列。目前正在进行的几个项目包括入侵物种生态学、热生理学、离子和水平衡、生态学和进化生物学以及发育生物学。
