Description
Haiyue Wu leads a thirteen-author genome survey in 2026 of the myosin gene family in the Chinese mitten crab, a farmed freshwater species whose muscles rebuild in bursts at each molt. Gene activity was tracked across three larval stages, from swimming zoea through megalopa to early juvenile, alongside a full catalog of myosin genes.
The crab genome holds 23 myosin genes in 11 subfamilies, with the muscle-heavy Myo2 group expanded to nine members, likely through tandem copying on one chromosome. Comparisons across 42 animal species showed some myosin classes missing from all arthropods, marking lineage losses. Activity of individual genes rose or fell by stage, matching each phase's muscle demands during metamorphosis.
