Understanding microRNAs regulation in heat shock response in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

In this study, we sought to determine the expression profiles of miRNAs under HS in A. japonicus by using HiSeq techinique. Nine miRNA libraries of sea cucumbers (Control: C1, C2, C3; HS 6h: 6h1, 6h2, 6h3; HS 48h: 48h1, 48h2, 48h3 ) were sequenced respectively. We highlighted differentially expressed miRNAs among HS groups, many of which were invovled of immunity process and disease regulation.
