The project on “The Development of DNA Microarray Technology to Address Poor Reproductive Maturation Problems in the Black Tiger Shrimp (Peneaus monodon)” was among the recipients of 2014 NRCT Research Awards. The technique of DNA microarray is applied to perform high throughput gene expression analysis in order to understand the reproductive mechanism in black tiger shrimp. The result of this study will lead to the development of diagnostic tool for shrimp maturation for breeding program. This work is conducted by BIOTEC Microarray Laboratory, led by Dr. Nitsara Karoonuthasiri.
