Integrated mRNA and miRNA expression profile analysis of female and male gonads in Hyriopsis cumingii

Abstract Hyriopsis cumingii is an important species for freshwater pearl cultivation in China. In terms of pearl production, males have larger pearls and better glossiness than females, but there are few reports focusing on the sex of H. cumingii. In this study, six mRNA and six microRNA (miRNA) lib...
