Genome-wide identification and expression of eight fatty acid desaturase genes, and the fatty acid profile, in the marine rotifer Brachionus koreanus fed the alga Tetraselmis suecica
Fatty acid desaturases catalyze the formation of a C=C double bond from a C–C single bond in fatty acids, leading to diversification of the fatty acid pool. In this study, we identified the fatty acid desatura...

Effects of temperature on growth and fatty acid synthesis in the cyclopoid copepod Paracyclopina nana
We have used the cyclopoid copepod Paracyclopina nana to understand responses to the temperature shift. To determine the changes of molecular mechanisms, which would lead to physiological changes in P. nana, we i...

Identification of insulin-like peptide 1 (ILP1) gene and its expression in response to different food sources in the intertidal copepod Tigriopus japonicus
Insulin-like peptide (ILP) is an important hormone that controls a wide array of functions including glucose or trehalose levels in body fluids in invertebrates. However, the presence and role of ILP in copepo...
