A hormone-pathway gene is not a molting treatment

The evidence library is allowed to change in public. This page preserves the revised boundary, why it moved and which guides were affected.

What changed

The molting, genetics and breeding evidence boundary now includes the foundational 2015 Neocaridina hormone-pathway gene catalogue while separating sequence identification from demonstrated hormone production, gene function and whole-animal outcomes.

Why it changed

The study searched a fragmented one-animal draft genome, validated selected partial transcripts and displayed a semiquantitative JHAMT gel with three reported individual samples per group. It did not measure hormone or protein concentrations, manipulate a pathway in living shrimp, or measure molt frequency, ecdysis success, growth, survival, fertility or offspring. RNA-animal provenance and several life-stage details were not reported, and the referenced supplementary alignments and primers were unavailable in this review.

Affected practical guides

A public change is not automatically a retraction. A source may be added, a scope narrowed, a gap refined or an error corrected. The current guide and registry record own the current wording.
