Genome-wide identification and temperature-responsive expression profiling of TRP gene family in red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii).
Article in BMC genomics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTemperature variations significantly influence physiological processes in arthropod. The transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are key cellular sensors in the detection of temperature, pain, and mechanical stimuli. However, a comprehensive genome-wide identification and functional characterization of the TRP gene family in Procambarus clarkii has not yet been conducted.
resultsIn this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis and identified 29 TRP genes in P. clarkii, including 11 newly reported, which were classified into seven subfamilies: TRPA, TRPC, TRPP, TRPM, TRPML, TRPN, and TRPV. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a remarkable expansion of the TRPA subfamily in crayfish compared with insects. Tissue expression profiling demonstrated diverse transcriptional patterns of PclaTRP genes across different organs. Comparative transcriptome analysis under temperature stress further indicated that P. clarkii employs distinct molecular strategies to cope with thermal extremes: heat stress induces proteostasis disruption and biosynthetic suppression, whereas cold stress promotes controlled metabolic downregulation. Specifically, cold stress (10 °C) significantly modulated the expression of 9 PclaTRP genes (4 genes up-regulated and 5 genes down-regulated), whereas non-noxious (30 °C) and noxious heat (35 °C) challenges drastically affected the mRNA levels of 9 (6 genes up-regulated and 3 genes down-regulated) and 12 (10 genes up-regulated and 2 genes down-regulated) PclaTRP genes, respectively. Moreover, temperature-responsive alternative splicing events were identified in two key thermo-responsive candidate factors, PclaTRPA1 and PclaPain2, implicating them in thermosensation.
conclusionTogether, these findings provide a comprehensive overview of the TRP gene family in P. clarkii, revealing their differential expression patterns and alternative splicing regulation under heat and cold challenges, and identifying candidate genes that warrant further investigation for temperature tolerance improvement in crayfish breeding.
