pone.0348006.t004: White Spot Syndrome Virus Impact on Pacific Whiteleg Shrimp

A 5.5 KB Excel dataset from a 2026 figshare upload by Alexandra Florea. It contains results from a study using single nuclei RNA-sequencing on 32 adult Pacific whiteleg shrimp infected with White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV). The data likely supports the construction of a lymphoid organ cell atlas and the identification of gene targets for CRISPR editing.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate genes for CRISPR-based disease resistance based on differential expression analysis between control and infected shrimp.
• Analyze cell type composition and function within the penaeid shrimp lymphoid organ based on marker genes and UMAPs.
• Study host-pathogen interactions in crustacean aquaculture by examining gene expression changes following WSSV infection via feed or injection.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license, permitting reuse with attribution.
• Represents a novel application of single nuclei RNA-sequencing to shrimp tissues, as described in the study.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which limits suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope, likely containing summary or key results rather than raw sequencing data.
