Species, evidence class and date
Neocaridina denticulata sinensis (as published) · CRCN family comparison and RNA interference · 2026
Parents or study design
RNAi knockdown NdCRCN-6 / NdCRCN-5 with transcriptomic/proteomic and protein interaction data
Recorded results
Functional compensation among CRCN subunits, pathways overlapping pigmentation, cuticle, immunity and metabolism
Numerical counts and denominator
24 CRCN gene models reported under study pipeline; NOT 24 commercial color genes
Claims requiring caution
None
Important limitations
No verified allele sequence-to-Boa or Blue Jelly trade phenotype; differing 13-gene 2024 report reflects analysis scope and naming rather than 11 newly identified inheritance loci.
Claim-level source ledger
- Peer-reviewed 2026 crustacyanin silencing molecular study — 24 NdCRCNs identified, functional redundancy after RNAi; not color-breed ratios
- Peer-reviewed crustacyanin gene study (2024) — 13 genes identified with specific methods; differing scope from 2026 CRCN analysis
