Copepods are small crustaceans that dominate most zooplankton communities in terms of both abundance and biomass. In the polar oceans, a subset of large lipid-storing copepods occupy central positions in the food web because of their important role in

Simple Summary Compared to more accessible sites, organisms inhabiting Antarctic waters have been poorly investigated. This study provides the first molecular resource (transcriptome from whole individual) for the eucalanoid copepod Rhincalanus gigas,

Antarctic waters are the largest almost untapped diversified resource of our planet. Molecular resources for Antarctic organisms are very limited and mostly represented by sequences used for species genotyping. In this study, we present the first transcriptome
