“…For instance, transcriptome analysis of sea cucumber during the anti-bacterial process provided a valuable database of the interactions of mRNA-miRNA and gene expression regulatory mechanisms (Zhang et al, 2013). Comparative transcriptome analysis of multiple sea cucumber tissues revealed the molecular mechanisms of larval development (Boyko et al, 2019), growth variation (Gao et al, 2017), color variation (Jo et al, 2016), tissue-specific expression (Zhou et al, 2016a), tissue development (Zhan et al, 2019) and regeneration (Sun et al, 2011), responses to environmental stress (Li et al, 2019), aestivation (Yang et al, 2021), evisceration behavior (Ding et al, 2019), tenderization (Dong et al, 2019), and immune responses (Guo et al, 2021).…”
