A novel approach to co-expression network analysis identifies modules and genes relevant for moulting and development in the Atlantic salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
Abstract Background The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is an obligate ectoparasitic copepod living on Atlantic salmon and other salmonids in the marine environment.Salmon lice cause a number of environmental problems and lead to large economical losses in aquaculture every year.In order to develop novel parasite control strategies, a better
