An exceptionally large and repetitive genome in the cave-dwelling shrimp Troglocaris planinensis
Introduction: Genomic resources for subterranean crustaceans remain scarce, limiting investigation of the molecular basis of adaptation to light-deprived environments. Troglocaris planinensis is a stygobiont freshwater shrimp endemic to the Dinaric Karst that lacks nuclear genomic resources and displays typical cave-as...
