Transcriptome assembly and gene annotation of hepatopancreas from gazami crab (Portunus trituberculatus)

There is no proteome data about gazami crab (Portunus trituberculatus). In order to identify accurately the protease from its hepatopancreas, the hepatopancreas was collected and shipped on dry ice to Sangon Biotech Inc. (Shanghai, China) for transcriptome assembly and gene annotation. Then the mass spectrometric data of the protease were searched against the transcriptome database of the hepatopancreas from P. trituberculatus and the data in NCBI.
