Abstract
Improvements in technology have deepened our insights and understanding of physiology and the biology of organisms. Transcriptomic profiling is used for a comprehensive evaluation of whole genome data. Transcriptomics is a technique that provides a comprehensive understanding of RNA transcripts present in the cell, offering insight into both functional and inactive biological processes. High-throughput mRNA sequencing is an advancement in next-generation sequencing technology, making it easier to understand the functional intricacy of mRNA transcripts. Utilising these advancements can improve the growth, reproduction, feed utilisation, and disease management of fish and shrimps, leading to enhanced production and sustainable aquaculture practices. Therefore, this article emphasis the advancements of transcriptomics in aquaculture, focusing on molecular markers and differential gene expression.
