ABSTRACT
Isopods are a diverse group of crustaceans, that inhabit various environments, including terrestrial, freshwater, and marine, both on the surface and in the underground. The biological mechanisms underlying their wide range of adaptations to diverse ecological niches remain elusive. In order to unravel the molecular basis of their adaptability, we generated a comprehensive RNAseq dataset comprising 11 isopod species belonging to the three different suborders freshwater Asellota, marine, brackish and freshwater Sphaeromatidea, and terrestrial Oniscidea, with representatives from families Asellidae, Sphaeromatidae, and Trichoniscidae, respectively. Representatives of each family were collected from both cave and surface environments, representing at least three independent cave colonization events. Three biological replicates were sequenced from each species to ensure data robustness. The 11 high-quality RNAseq datasets will serve as a valuable resource for understanding cave-specific adaptations, comparative and functional genomics, ecological annotation as well as aid in conservation efforts of these non-model organisms. Importantly, transcriptomes of eight featured species have been made publicly accessible for the first time.
