-The study of shrimp immune responses is not only limited by a lack of genomic data, but also of a clear understanding of post-translational control.
-The identification, characterization and function ascribing of the significance and biological functions of shrimp proteins have mainly been explored by genomic- and homology-based technologies.
-However, the proteomics-based approach is more and more important to uncover novel proteins and to characterize the actual function of shrimp proteins.
-The above section described the use of genomic approaches for gene identification and characterization, and so here the proteomic techniques that have recently been applied for the study of shrimp proteins are described.
